OpenTelemetry

AppSignal's OpenTelemetry integration makes it possible to monitor practically any application in your stack.

From PHP to Java and Go, AppSignal's OpenTelemetry support extends monitoring to more languages and frameworks by collecting OpenTelemetry signals—helping you detect errors, track performance, and improve observability without extra complexity.

Why AppSignal for OpenTelemetry?

With AppSignal + OpenTelemetry, you can connect OTel-instrumented apps to AppSignal and start answering critical observability questions such as:

• Why is my error rate spiking?
• Which part of my code is slowing down requests?
• Who's experiencing the issue right now?
• When did the problem first appear in my traces and metrics?

Your Favorite Language + Your Favorite Monitoring Tool

With OpenTelemetry, AppSignal extends monitoring beyond our native integrations for Ruby, Elixir, Node.js, Python, and front-end JavaScript. You can now bring observability to popular languages, frameworks, and platforms such as:

• Go
• Java
• Laravel
• Next.js
• PHP
• Rust
• Symfony
• Vercel

Full-Stack Observability Without the Fuss

AppSignal's dashboards track your app's core metrics in real time, giving you instant visibility into performance and errors. With data collected from OpenTelemetry signals, you can move from confusion to clarity and understand exactly how your applications are behaving.

End-to-End Request Performance Insights

With AppSignal's Trace Timeline, you can trace a request from start to finish. Quickly search, filter, and analyze performance traces with attribute data to identify slow spans, bottlenecks, and errors that impact your users.

High-Level to Detailed Observability in Seconds

With AppSignal's Time Detective, you can move from a high-level overview of your application's health to detailed performance snapshots in just a couple of clicks. By analyzing OpenTelemetry metrics and traces alongside AppSignal's dashboards, you can streamline debugging and get the full picture of how your apps are performing—anytime, anywhere.

Smart Alerts That Lead to Action

Stay informed without alert fatigue. AppSignal's smart alerts notify you in the tools you already use—Slack, MS Teams, and more—whenever error rates spike or performance issues appear. Go from alert to root cause in just a couple of clicks.

A Continuously Improving OpenTelemetry Integration

AppSignal for OpenTelemetry is in active development. Unlike other monitoring tools that simply consume OpenTelemetry data without putting much effort into interpretation, we're focused on giving you the same deep insights and seamless experience you'd expect from a native integration.

Currently, AppSignal for OpenTelemetry fully supports:

• Traces
• Metrics
• Logs

Support for distributed tracing is coming later this year.
