Observability and OpenTelemetry have created awareness of distributed tracing. But what is it and what is it good for? We'll investigate the distributed trace from the point of awareness via monitoring, dropping into RED monitoring. We'll deconstruct it across its parts, describing the importance of trace and spans. we'll look at the timeline of concern, discussing some of the potential data impacts that can leave false clues. You'll leave knowing why distributed tracing is important, what makes OpenTelemetry the choice for tracing. We'll drill into the component parts, including underlying metadata and semantic conventions and learn how the supporting evidence of logs and metrics can help us identify the culprit.
