In today’s rapidly evolving software landscape, ensuring observability is crucial for building robust and reliable applications. One of the critical components of observability is metrics, which provide valuable insights into the performance and behavior of our systems.

We’ll describe what each metric measures, how to track them, and how you can use these metrics to enhance observability in your applications.

OpenTelemetry Metrics Format: The OpenTelemetry metrics format specifies how metric values, labels, and metadata are encoded and transmitted.

OpenTelemetry Metrics Exporter: OpenTelemetry Metrics exporters transmit recorded metrics from your application to back-end systems like Prometheus.
