OpenTelemetry With OpenSearch: Use-Cases, Status and Roadmap
summary
Explains how to ingest OpenTelemetry traces, metrics and logs into OpenSearch using the OpenTelemetry Collector (recommend the Amazon distribution) and optionally Data Prepper (a Java tool) for building the service map which currently is Data Prepper’s unique output. Shows auto‑instrumentation steps, a sample collector YAML (receivers → processors → exporters), explains sampling/enrichment choices, and demos OpenSearch trace analytics and trace discovery UIs—concluding the collector plus OpenSearch pipelines replace most Data Prepper roles.
