LLM tracing in Elastic APM: prompts, responses, and token counts in the span view
In a twenty-call agentic trace, you can see which span is using the most tokens and read the prompt that caused it. Both live in Elastic APM, so there is no second tool to run.
AI agent observability for Microsoft Foundry: two env vars, no collector
Set up LLM tracing once and every model call, tool execution and handoff from your Foundry agent arrives in Kibana as one queryable trace, with token counts on each span and code for Agent Framework, LangGraph and Node.js.
Sleep through the 3am page: automated incident response with Elastic on Red Hat OpenShift
Elastic Observability handles three routine incidents on its own: it scales, restarts or rolls back the workload, then confirms the service recovered, all with the reasoning model inside your own cluster.
OpenTelemetry Java extensions: customize traces without forking the agent
One JAR, loaded at startup by the OpenTelemetry Java agent, lets you filter health checks, rename spans, add resource attributes, and control sampling with no application code changes.
Kubernetes observability: SLO templates that turn alerts into error budgets
Two bad rollouts burned 88% of a 30-day error budget while the SLI still read 99.56%. This post adds four SLO templates that bring burn-rate tracking to the OTel-based alert rules from Part 1, no new instrumentation required.
Elastic Agent now runs as an OpenTelemetry Collector: Less memory overhead, zero config changes
Elastic Agent 9.3 sends logs, metrics and traces through one OTel Collector pipeline, running Beats integrations alongside native OTel sources in a single Fleet-managed agent.
Android application monitoring with OpenTelemetry: distributed tracing from tap to backend
EDOT Android adds mobile APM to your Android app with one Gradle dependency: crash reporting, session tracking and distributed tracing visible in Kibana.
One edit, every dashboard updated: managing Kibana observability at scale with Terraform
Define your golden-signals panels once in a shared HCL library and use for_each to generate every team's dashboard, with drift detection and git rollback built in.
Elastic integrations come with alerting rule templates, each one an ES|QL query with a threshold already set. Create Elasticsearch alert rules in minutes, tune them to your traffic, and catch silent data streams early.
You have the IP, you want the hostname: building a lookup processor for OpenTelemetry
Look up any value from YAML, CSV or DNS inside the OpenTelemetry Collector or wire in your own source through a processor Elastic built and shipped to Collector Contrib.
