Eclipse Che: Monitoring and Tracing using the cutting edge Cloud-Native stack - Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger

In the Cloud-Native world monitoring and distributed tracing are the crucial parts of the service not visible to the naked eye, but vital for DevOps in order to obtain various system metrics, easily investigate underlying issues and identify potential performance bottlenecks. When the cloud IDE is deployed on a cluster it is critical to have enough observability to make sure that the development environment is in a good shape, stable and ready to be used. In this session, we will demonstrate that Eclipse Che running on Kubernetes or OpenShift provides not only a collaborative development environment to the teams but also monitoring and tracing facilities using the cutting edge Cloud-Native stack: Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger.

Observable microservices with MicroProfile OpenTracing and looking beyond to OpenTelemetry

Pavol Loffay (Red Hat, Inc.)

In this talk, we’ll have a deep dive into MicroProfile OpenTracing, discussing the key points of the specification, including naming conventions, the @Traced annotation, the ability to add explicit instrumentation in business code or even extend scope of tracing by adding OpenTracing compatible instrumentations. We’ll then build a simple MicroProfile application with the MP-OpenTracing module and see how the reported telemetry data looks like in Jaeger an OpenTracing compliant distributed tracing system.

Eclipse Trace Compass – Past, Present and Future

Bernd Hufmann (Ericsson AB)

The Trace Compass project has been providing trace analysis and visualization tools for many years. Analyzing Linux based systems has been one of the main focuses. Call Graph analysis for profiling of applications, analysis of real-time systems or analysis of traces coming from Jaeger (Open Tracing API) are some recent developments for Trace Compass. Moving the UI to modern front-end technologies and showing the analysis results in a web browser is ahead of us.

Invited Talk: Distributed Tracing for MicroProfile Runtimes

Pavol Loffay (Red Hat, Inc.)

In this talk we will walk through MicroProfile-OpenTracing project and explain how it can improve observability in your cloud native Java deployments. At the beginning there will be an introduction to distributed tracing and then we will continue with the project specific features. We will also touch more advanced topics like tracing in (Istio) service mesh architectures, distributed context propagation and best practices when instrumenting your business logic. Last but not least we will talk about project roadmap and how to get involved.
