Observy Observy

Sending Telemetry

Observy receives OpenTelemetry logs, metrics, and traces over insecure OTLP/gRPC. There is no REST ingestion endpoint.

Configure an OpenTelemetry SDK or collector to send data to Observy:

Terminal window
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4317
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=grpc
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_INSECURE=true

Use the configured OTLP port if you override otlp_grpc_port.

Try With Sample Telemetry

Terminal window
telemetrygen logs --otlp-endpoint localhost:4317 --otlp-insecure --logs 10
telemetrygen metrics --otlp-endpoint localhost:4317 --otlp-insecure --metrics 10
telemetrygen traces --otlp-endpoint localhost:4317 --otlp-insecure --traces 10

View The Data

Open http://localhost:8080 after sending telemetry.

  • Logs are available at /logs/.
  • Metrics are available at /metrics/.
  • Traces are available at /traces/.

Each explorer includes an optional OQL editor for direct query control.
