In a few hours we'll instrument a demo application and see what OpenTelmetry can do. We'll also cover basic data filtering and compression.
### OpenTelemetry
* History
* What's in the project
* Use cases
* Status of development - Logs support is still growing, but you can send logs through the collector
### Collector Design
* Most basic - direct from SDK to datastore, don't do this
* Single collector
* Collector -> collector
* Daemonset in Kubernetes (I promise you don't need to know Kubernetes to follow this talk!)
### Sample Application
* Basic data emitter from the CLI
* Auto-instrumentation with the language-appropriate SDK
* Configuring data sends
* A basic dashboard
### Configuring the Collector
* YAML config
* restarting the collector
### OpenTelemetry Processors - config
* batching - reducing sends
* parsing - finding data early
* crushing cardinality - getting the data you need
* filtering - removing sensitive data
* transforming with OTTL
