Everything to go from raw telemetry to live answers.
Learn OpenTelemetry from first principles, then put it to work in Sluicio — instrument a service, connect an integration, and catch failures before your users do.
New to OpenTelemetry
Start with the concepts — signals, traces, and how instrumentation actually works — before touching the product.
Learn the basics path 02Already on OTel
Point your existing OTLP exporter at Sluicio and watch real traffic appear in seconds. Two lines of config.
Run the quickstart path 03Explore the app
A guided tour of dashboards, message search, traces, and alerts — how the team uses Sluicio day to day.
Tour the productConcepts & OpenTelemetry
What is OpenTelemetry?
Traces, metrics and logs — and why one vendor-neutral standard changed observability.
Traces, spans & context propagation
How a single request becomes one connected trace as it crosses service boundaries.
Instrument a service
Add the OTel SDK, auto-instrument your framework, and export OTLP — in Java, .NET or JavaScript.
Instrument a Python service
Zero-code auto-instrumentation, then a custom span where it matters most.
Configure the OTLP exporter
Endpoints, headers, gRPC vs HTTP and TLS — get your signal out cleanly.
Monitoring with the OpenTelemetry Collector
Receive OTLP, scrape your brokers, and ship it all to Sluicio — end to end.
Using Sluicio
Point your telemetry at Sluicio
Aim your OTLP exporter at us and stream real traffic in about five minutes.
Connect your first integration
Wire up a source and watch its messages flow into the overview live.
Read a trace waterfall
Follow one message end-to-end across every hop, and find where it broke.
Search & replay a failed message
Find the exact failure by payload or status, then safely re-drive it.
Set up a failure alert
Get paged the moment an integration starts failing — email or webhook.
Define an SLO & error budget
Turn success rate into a target the whole team can watch and defend.
Try the live demo
A hosted Sluicio preloaded with sample data — nothing to install.
