Today, we’re excited to announce enhancements to the VMware Tanzu Observability by Wavefront platform, which helps teams scale their observability practices and shorten the feedback loops between development and operations. The new features give more flexibility and functionality to any open source investments; help operations, development, and SRE teams resolve problems faster; and extend observability more efficiently into DevOps workflows.

In addition to the various instrumentation and ingestion methods that Tanzu Observability already supports for collecting trace data, we have extended the “contrib” OpenTelemetry collector by adding a Tanzu Observability (Wavefront) exporter so you can drop this integration into your current OpenTelemetry setup.

Then, in the OpenTelemetry collector, you enable the Tanzu Observability exporter to send trace data to Tanzu Observability via the Wavefront proxy. Here’s a short video that shows how to configure the Tanzu Observability exporter to send trace data to Tanzu Observability: The Tanzu Observability exporter resides in the opentelemetry-collector-contrib repository.
