Overview

OpenTelemetry Dashboards offer a collection of pre–configured, use–case–specific visualizations that streamline observability for OpenTelemetry (OTel) users. They're designed to minimize the manual effort required to build visualizations from scratch, providing a powerful foundation for monitoring, troubleshooting, and analyzing telemetry data.

Users can easily customize these dashboards by duplicating and modifying them to fit their specific operational or business requirements.

Use cases

OpenTelemetry Collector self-monitoring

OpenTelemetry Collector provides extensive internal telemetry to help you monitor and troubleshoot its performance. This app contains two ready-made dashboards that provide insights about the health and performance of your OpenTelemetry Collector instances:

  • OpenTelemetry Collector - all Collectors: Provides a high-level overview of all detected OpenTelemetry Collector instances.
  • OpenTelemetry Collector - single Collector: Offers detailed insights into the performance and health of a specific collector instance.

Kubernetes Monitoring

OpenTelemetry Collector supports various receivers to collect critical metrics from Kubernetes clusters, objects, and kubelets. This app includes multiple dashboards tailored for Kubernetes observability:

  • OpenTelemetry K8s Cluster: A comprehensive overview of cluster performance, including nodes, pods, containers, events, and more.
  • OpenTelemetry K8s Node - Pods: Visualizes pod-level resource consumption across Kubernetes nodes.
  • OpenTelemetry K8s Namespace - Pods: Analyzes resource usage of all pods within a specific namespace.
  • OpenTelemetry K8s Namespace - Workloads: Focuses on resource allocation and performance of workloads within a namespace.
  • OpenTelemetry K8s Persistent Volumes: Monitors usage and capacity of persistent volume claims.

Prometheus scraping self-monitoring

Provides access to self-monitoring metrics for Prometheus scraping using the OpenTelemetry Collector and OpenTelemetry Target Allocator for Prometheus receivers. See Scrape Prometheus metrics with the OTel Collector for details.

  • OpenTelemetry Collector - Prometheus Scraping: A self-monitoring dashboard for large scale Prometheus scraping setups using OpenTelemetry Collectors.

Get started

Check out our documentation, which includes step-by-step guides and example configurations, to begin monitoring your OpenTelemetry Collectors and Kubernetes environments with these powerful dashboards.

The Reference Configuration for Prometheus Scraping provides instructions on how to set up scraping of self-monitoring metrics for the OpenTelemetry Collector Prometheus Receiver and Target Allocator.

    • Active scrape targets and their allocation across scraper collectors
    • Prometheus scrape success rate, duration, and samples scraped per job
    • Load balancer backend distribution and exporter latency
    • Gateway queue utilization and throughput retention per processor
    • CPU and memory usage for Scrapers, Gateways, and Target Allocator
