The signals (telemetry data) which OpenTelemetry currently supports can be found on the right side of the mind map:</p> <ul> <li>Signals: <ul> <li>Traces</li> <li>Metrics</li> <li>Logs</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>The mind map illustrates the components that make up these signals and how they are interconnected.</p> <p>To learn more about OpenTelemetry:</p> <ul> <li>Official docs: <a href="https://opentelemetry.io/docs/what-is-opentelemetry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreffer">What is OpenTelemetry?</a></li> <li>A very helpful resource to getting started with OpenTelemetry is the following course from the Linux Foundation: <a href="https://training.linuxfoundation.org/training/getting-started-with-opentelemetry-lfs148/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreffer">Getting Started with OpenTelemetry</a></li> </ul> <h2 id="opentelemetry-concepts-mind-map">OpenTelemetry Concepts mind map</h2> <p><figure><a class="lightgallery" href="https://nasan.ch/images/OpenTelemetry-mindmap-concepts.svg" title="OpenTelemetry Concepts Mind Map" data-thumbnail="/images/OpenTelemetry-mindmap-concepts.svg" data-sub-html="<h2>OpenTelemetry Mind Map illustrates basic concepts</h2><p>OpenTelemetry Concepts Mind Map</p>
