OpenTelemetry: Logs to Traces in Python

Emit structured logs with the active trace and span identifiers, then verify the join against a recorded span.

Grafana: Metrics to Traces with Exemplars

Attach a sampled trace identifier to a histogram observation and configure Grafana to open the corresponding trace.

Deployments: Compare Error Rate by Version

Record release identity and compare errors per request across old and new versions during a rollout.

OpenTelemetry: Queue Context, Retries and Batches

Inject context into message metadata and link each processing attempt to its message creation span.

Troubleshoot: Log Trace ID Not Found

Locate the broken step between an identifier in a log and a retained trace in the backend.

Troubleshoot: Exemplars Missing in Grafana

Check exemplar generation, transport, storage and display separately before changing instrumentation.
