Service Performance Monitoring is a high-level monitoring dashboard within Logz.io that enables you to monitor your tracing services and operations. This integration allows you to configure Service Performance Monitoring with OpenTelemetry collector and send spans and span metrics from your OpenTelemetry installation to Logz.io.

Log in to your Logz.io account and navigate to the current instructions page inside the Logz.io app. Install the pre-built dashboard to enhance the observability of your metrics.

To view the metrics on the main dashboard, log in to your Logz.io Metrics account, and open the Logz.io Metrics tab.

Architecture overview

This integration is based on OpenTelemetry. It works as an add-on to existing OpenTelemetry installations. If you need to set up OpenTelemetry first, refer to our documentation on OpenTelemetry.

The integration includes:

  • Configuring the OpenTelemetry collector to receive spans generated by your application instrumentation and send the spans and span metrics to Logz.io

On deployment, your OpenTelemetry instrumentation captures spans from your application and forwards them to the collector, which exports the spans and span metrics data to your Logz.io account.

This integration uses OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib, not the OpenTelemetry Collector Core.
