Journey from Fluent Bit, Fluentd and Prometheus to OpenTelemetry Collector... Marcin "Perk" Stożek

Journey from Fluent Bit, Fluentd and Prometheus to OpenTelemetry Collector - Lessons Learned - Marcin "Perk" Stożek, Canonical
Telemetry collection seems very straightforward at first glance: just use Fluent Bit or Fluentd for logs, Prometheus for metrics and call it a day. But problems arise when we want the best performance or simplicity of the solution. It’s hard to maintain three different agents, with three different configurations and documentation in three different places. In the talk, Perk discusses why Sumo Logic replaced Fluent Bit, Fluentd and Prometheus with OpenTelemetry Collector and the challenges they faced along the way. Most importantly - is there a happy ending?

Really nice presentation, I am currently moving from a mess in my org which is: fluentd, telegraph, prometheus, grafana, opensearch into otel-col + prometheus as backend and grafana to visualize data.
