Your agents instrument with OTel; Elastic analyzes it natively

Elastic

Watch a developer in Cursor generate OpenTelemetry instrumentation live, and then follow the signals to where they land. On a proprietary back end, that open telemetry gets reclassified as billable custom metrics and locked into a vendor collector. This session shows the native path: instrumentation flowing through a managed OTLP endpoint into Elastic's columnar metrics store — no translation layer, no cardinality tax. Once there, one query language spans your metrics, logs, and traces, so correlation doesn't mean switching tools. We'll cover Elastic Agent as an OpenTelemetry Collector and OpAMP pushing SDK changes from Kibana. One open standard, from code to answer.
