WEBINAR | Benchmarking Your Instrumentation for OpenSearch Observability
The era of “collect everything” is over.
Your OpenSearch dashboards are only as smart as the telemetry feeding them.
This webinar gives engineering leaders a vendor-neutral framework to score, audit, and fix their instrumentation — before it ever reaches the cluster.
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
The industry mantra has long been “collect everything.” However, as engineering leaders face the “data swamp” and skyrocketing costs from proprietary vendors, the focus is shifting. In the age of AI agents and complex distributed systems, the new mandate is: “Quality in, Value out.” If your instrumentation is poor, your OpenSearch dashboards, alerts, and AI reasoning traces will be unreliable.
This webinar introduces the Instrumentation Score (IS), a vendor-neutral, community-driven benchmark, as the primary KPI for your observability strategy. We will explore how to use this framework to audit your OpenTelemetry data before it ever hits your cluster. By ensuring high-fidelity instrumentation, you unlock the full power of the OpenSearch Observability Stack, moving beyond basic logging to sophisticated, correlated analysis that reduces MTTR and tames the “data tax.”
Join Shenoy Pratik Gurudatt (AWS) as we bridge the gap between raw telemetry and strategic insights, using OpenSearch as the neutral, scalable engine for a high-scoring observability practice.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Defining “quality” in OpenSearch
How the Instrumentation Score (IS) identifies gaps in your semantic conventions and OpenTelemetry metadata before they impact your OpenSearch performance.
Curing the “data swamp”
Strategic methods to use OpenSearch’s unified platform—integrating logs, traces, and Prometheus metrics—to validate that your instrumentation is driving actual business value.
Neutrality as a strategy
Why the OpenSearch Software Foundation’s commitment to Apache 2.0 and open standards is the only way to maintain data sovereignty while scaling your instrumentation efforts.
