Building an Observability Stack with Docker

• tracetest

  54 905 9.8 Go

  🔭 Tracetest - Build integration and end-to-end tests in minutes, instead of days, using OpenTelemetry and trace-based testing.

  

If you want to see the code example right away, check it out on GitHub, here.

• prometheus

  385 53,271 9.9 Go

  The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.

  

After that, you will set up a metrics server container. It will use Prometheus.io, an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit designed to collect, store, and query time series data, making it a tool for monitoring your systems' performance and health through metrics.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• opentelemetry-collector

  17 3,962 9.9 Go

  OpenTelemetry Collector

  

To receive OTLP data, you set up the standard otlp receiver to receive data in HTTP or gRPC format. To forward traces and metrics, a batch processor was defined to accumulate data and send it every 100 milliseconds. Then set up a connection to Tempo (in otlp/tempo exporter, with a standard top exporter) and to Prometheus (in prometheus exporter, with a control exporter). A debug exporter also was added to log info on container standard I/O and see how the collector is working.

• Grafana

  383 60,851 10.0 TypeScript

  The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

  

So, you will add one last container to allow us to visualize this data: Grafana, an open-source analytics and visualization platform that allows us to see traces and metrics simply. You can set Grafana to read data from both Tempo and Prometheus by setting them as datastores with the following grafana.datasource.yaml config file:
