OpenTelemetry in an IDE

[Alan Blount]

Deven showed us some OpenTelemetry (OT) awesomeness in Dec.

(Prometheus, Jaeger, and Graphana)

And I have been doing research on OT being used in an innner dev loop, running locally and showing you traces/spans as a part of the development process.

I have found only 1 example of this so far: https://sprkl.dev/

Even though I'm going through many docs and lists:

https://github.com/magsther/awesome-opentelemetry

I'm sure this exists in other formats and ways, because it would be a very useful tool for development.  Ideally integrations into VSCode as the common functionality of the day, but possibly stand alone web apps or whatever... 

Any recommendations?

Cheers,

opentelemetry tooling is running locally (by definition - within the configured app) and the collectors can be run 'locally' as easily as they can be run further upstream.

beyond the collectors you then have your observability tool / vendor of choice.

having the IDE as the observability tool is pretty novel, imo.

i recall having a discussion several years ago with New Relic about this exact topic, but i see nothing in their arsenal except a VSCode plug-in to help with instrumentation.

i'll bet they simply gave up.

nothing prevents you from running prometheus / grafana 'local adjacent' as well - even in a container.

i demoed that last year sometime - in a configuration known as the TIG stack.
