About this event
Logging is one of the fastest ways to understand what your systems are actually doing, but it only becomes truly useful when it fits into the bigger observability picture. This OpenTelemetry webinar is built for people who want a clearer, more practical handle on logging in OpenTelemetry and how it connects to the way modern teams monitor, troubleshoot, and improve software. About the Event OpenTelemetry has become a key part of how teams standardize telemetry across tools and environments, and logging is an important part of that conversation. This session focuses specifically on logging in OpenTelemetry: what it means, why it matters, and how the community is thinking about it today. Because this is part of the OpenTelemetry Webinars series, you can expect a community-centered format with a strong emphasis on shared learning. It is a chance to spend focused time on one topic, hear directly from people engaged in the ecosystem, and leave with a better mental model of where logging fits into OpenTelemetry overall. This event is also tagged as a community, networking, meetup, and social gathering, which signals that it is not just a one-way presentation. It is a space for people who care about observability to show up, listen closely, compare approaches, and feel more connected to the broader OpenTelemetry community. Whether you are already using OpenTelemetry or still figuring out where it belongs in your stack, this webinar gives you a timely opportunity to engage with a topic that many teams are actively trying to get right. What to Expect Expect a focused session centered on the role of logs within OpenTelemetry. The webinar format makes room for clear explanation, practical context, and the kind of discussion that helps turn a broad technical concept into something you can actually apply. You can likely expect the event experience to include: A topic-driven presentation on logging in OpenTelemetry Context on how logs relate to traces and metrics in an observability workflow Community-oriented discussion around current practices, questions, and challenges Opportunities to connect with others interested in observability and OpenTelemetry This kind of webinar is especially useful when you want to sharpen your understanding without committing to a full-day event. You get a concentrated learning window that can help you identify what to explore next, what to revisit in your current setup, or what questions you should bring back to your team. Because the event is community-linked rather than purely promotional, the value is in the substance of the topic and the quality of the people paying attention to it. If you have been looking for a more grounded conversation about logs in modern telemetry systems, this is the right setting for it. Why Attend If you work with distributed systems, platform tooling, application reliability, or developer infrastructure, logging is not a side topic. It is part of how you investigate failures, understand behavior in production, and create a usable operational picture when something goes wrong. A webinar dedicated to logging in OpenTelemetry can help you make sense of both the technical direction and the practical implications. You should attend if you want to better understand how OpenTelemetry approaches logs, how that may affect your current observability strategy, and what this means for teams trying to bring metrics, traces, and logs into a more unified model. Attendees can expect value such as: A clearer framework for thinking about logging in OpenTelemetry Stronger observability vocabulary you can use in technical conversations Practical insight to inform tooling, instrumentation, or architecture decisions Community perspective that helps you learn from others facing similar questions Just as important, this webinar can save you time. Instead of piecing together context from scattered documentation, issue threads, and secondhand opinions, you get a dedicated session built around the topic. That makes it easier to separate what is foundational from what is still evolving. Practical Details This event is listed as in person and takes place on Tuesday, September 26 at 8:00 AM PDT. If you are planning to attend, make sure to account for the time zone early, especially if you are coordinating from another region or fitting the event into a workday schedule. Since the format is a webinar but the location is marked in person, it is worth checking the event page or organizer updates for any attendance instructions, venue-specific notes, or participation details. That will help you arrive prepared and avoid last-minute confusion. A few simple ways to get more from the session: Come with one or two logging questions you want answered Think about your current observability setup and where logs create friction Be ready to network with others working on similar problems Plan a few minutes afterward to capture notes while the discussion is still fresh This is a strong fit for anyone who wants a focused, community-driven conversation on a topic that matters in real systems. If logging in OpenTelemetry is on your radar, this webinar gives you a practical place to learn, connect, and move the conversation forward.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want a more grounded understanding of how logging fits into the OpenTelemetry ecosystem and why that matters for real-world observability work. - **You work in observability, SRE, or platform engineering** and want a clearer view of how logs relate to metrics and traces in a modern telemetry strategy. - **You are an engineer or architect evaluating OpenTelemetry** and need practical context before making instrumentation, tooling, or adoption decisions. - **You already use logs heavily in production** and want to understand how OpenTelemetry may shape the way your team collects, structures, or thinks about log data. - **You are part of a team standardizing developer infrastructure** and want shared language and concepts you can bring back to internal discussions. - **You enjoy learning through community events** and want access to people who are asking similar questions about logging, observability, and implementation tradeoffs. - **You are curious but not yet deep in OpenTelemetry** and want a focused session that helps you build confidence without needing to sort through everything on your own first.
