Explore opentelemetry

[OskarLiew]

Opentelemetry is a set of tools to collect and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, traces) for analysis.

I can see a number of use-cases:

• It can be used to ensure uptime
• Extract usage data, which functionalities are used
• Use with something like Jaeger to for dashboards to monitor the health and performance of a service
• Can probably replace the current monitoring solution

How to implement:

• Use WSGI middleware to automatically get HTTP request data
• Run an Opentelemetry Collector inside the manager application and let users choose where to send the data.

How to implement depends on whether we want to monitor only the manager or service calls as well.
