.@opstrace has joined @gitlab! 🎉 With this acquisition, we will bring our open source observability to The DevOps Platform—alongside existing monitoring capabilities—to accelerate adoption and features. And, yes, we're still committed to Apache v2! https://t.co/dREjlO4brV

1/9 The "Prometheus Agent" is coming; based on @grafana agent code. @bwplotka started merging things a few days ago. The Prometheus Agent will be first-classing an idea that I have often gently called "pusher prom". A Prometheus instance that only pulls and pushes. A forwarder.

A welcome feature!

How do you deploy #prometheus and #thanos on #kubernetes? I'm doing research for https://t.co/ckHTq5N3al.

@esotericmeans Kube-Prometheus-stack and @opstrace for cortex

Check out my thoughts on #observability and a few projects to check out! https://t.co/PX2KSKokt0 cc - @opstrace @SignozHQ @Rancher_Labs/@SUSE Opni If you want to learn deep dive on the projects there are streams for each of them on my YouTube!

We just published a new @opstrace release: https://t.co/QB9EAAax94 Anecdote: this release contains a few simple patches as the result of pretty nasty and entertaining debugging efforts (that is what makes software dev exciting, right?)

Still a great introduction to Prometheus (from late 2019):

For the full list, check out our release notes here:

We did a tremendous amount of work around CI and our tests, improving build time, squashing flaky tests, and adding new tests (for example in the UI). This is one of the most important areas to us, as dev velocity is only possible thanks to a robust, complete testing pipeline.

We added a new section to the "Configuring Alertmanager" user guide about using the new unified alerting UI for configuring and managing alerts all in one place. https://t.co/DqJj0nbI4c

We fixed a pair of security vulnerabilities, including one in which the tenant API authenticator allowed for cross-tenant data writing. Exploiting this required holding valid authentication proof for one of the tenants.

The CLI now has an info command to inspect the version information of the various components an Opstrace instance is comprised of. The UI now presents this info as well. Thanks to Eric Stroczynski for the open source contribution! https://t.co/RSW0z7LtTu https://t.co/SMDgwEwsFo

Loki (logs collection) received a significant version bump from 1ed19f7 to b3d7740 (v2.3.0, plus a few commits). We also added the query frontend, which adds the "ability to split larger queries into smaller ones, execute them in parallel, and stitch the results back together."

We published a release today! https://t.co/MKwNWpTWGE Some highlights... 👇

Opstrace can collect metrics from @CockroachDB using @PrometheusIO to remote write the samples. @CockroachDB also comes bundled with pre-defined dashboards that can be imported into Opstrace. Try this yourself by following our latest blog post here: https://t.co/INygJLDmUC

@Grafana Tempo Community Call posted on Youtube: https://t.co/SHoopAPh9z Check it out if you missed the session. We discussed the upcoming 1.1 release, search capabilities and our new maintainer @kvrhdn!!

Great episode that covers two of my favorite things: immutability and observability. Looking forward to checking out @opstrace.
