Logging Best Practices (Grafana ❤️🔥 OpenTelemetry Community Call #3)
In this community call with my coworker Liudmila Molkova, we explored logging best practices in the context of OpenTelemetry. We discussed how to structure logs for observability, the relationship between logs and other telemetry signals (traces and metrics), and practical patterns for making logs more useful in distributed systems. The conversation covered log levels, contextual information, correlation with traces, and common pitfalls to avoid when instrumenting applications with OpenTelemetry logging.
