Grafana Labs·2yPrometheus 3.0 and OpenTelemetry: a practical guide to storing and querying OTel data
Prometheus 3.0 aims to improve integration with OpenTelemetry by addressing challenges such as resource attributes, UTF-8 support, and temporalities. The Prometheus 3.0 release includes features like promoting resource attributes to metric labels, a new `info` PromQL function, and stable OTLP support for easier data ingestion and querying. Users can also utilize the delta to cumulative processor in OTel Collector for better data handling. Future developments will focus on enhancing interoperability and scalability.
Grafana Labs·1yHow to use OpenTelemetry and Grafana Alloy to convert delta to cumulative at scale
Migrating to a Prometheus-based ecosystem with Grafana Alloy, which integrates OpenTelemetry, makes handling metrics easier, especially when converting delta metrics to cumulative ones. This post details the algorithm used for this conversion and outlines the load balancing and container setup necessary for scalable deployment. It also mentions recent updates to the OpenTelemetry Collector, making the process more efficient and scalable.
