Sponsored Keynote: Why Semantic Conventions are OpenTelemetry’s Most Important Con...
summary
OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions normalize telemetry at creation so HTTP status, span attributes, and metric labels mean the same across systems, enabling joinable, high‑quality datasets that make cross‑signal analysis feasible. Smart proxies like the OpenTelemetry Collector can aggregate and transform data, shifting pipelines left into user environments and reducing operating cost to a few lines of YAML. Vendors (Datadog among them) build analysis and AI tooling because raw signals are now ready for AI.
