OpenTelemetry integration for vendor-neutral observability
Accept OTLP over HTTP or gRPC, normalised and cross-linked with the rest of the Edge data lake. Use your existing instrumentation investment and let Edge enrich, correlate and act on it.

What it puts in front of your teams
Every capability is available from day one. No additional instrumentation required beyond the initial agent deployment.
See a live demonstrationAccept OTel traces and metrics
Native OTLP ingestion over HTTP and gRPC. No translation layer or data loss.
Schema normalisation
Normalise OTel data to the Edge schema, linking it to logs, infrastructure metrics and transaction data.
Cross link with logs
Connect OTel traces to the logs and infrastructure events that happened at the same time.
Multi vendor agent support
Accepts data from any OTLP-compatible agent, including Jaeger, Zipkin and cloud-native collectors.
Tail-based sampling
Intelligently sample traces based on outcome and latency rather than discarding blindly at ingestion.
Enrichment from Edge context
Augment incoming OTLP data with infrastructure tags, deployment metadata and user context automatically.
From signal to action in seconds
Deploy once
A lightweight Edge agent deploys to your environment. Auto-discovery maps services, hosts and applications without manual configuration.
Collect everything
A microservices team already uses OTel instrumentation. Rather than ripping and replacing, they point their collector at Edge. Their traces appear in the Edge data lake immediately, enriched with infrastructure context and linked to RUM data.
Act with confidence
Anomaly detection, root cause analysis and AI-assisted recommendations give your teams the context to act fast and correctly.
Signals captured by OTEL

What changes for the business
No wasted instrumentation
Existing OTel instrumentation continues working. Edge enriches it rather than replacing it.
Vendor neutrality
Use any OTel-compatible agent and switch between them without losing historical data.
Faster debugging
OTel traces cross-linked with logs and infrastructure metrics accelerate root cause identification.
Better together with the Edge platform
OTEL writes its data to the Edge Datalake, making it queryable and correlatable alongside every other module in real time.
OpenTelemetry Integration questions, answered
What does Edge OpenTelemetry Integration monitor?
Edge OpenTelemetry Integration captures signals including otlp traces, otlp metrics, otlp logs, span attributes, service name resolution, sampling rate, and provides accept otel traces and metrics, schema normalisation, cross link with logs and more.
How is Edge OpenTelemetry Integration deployed?
Edge connects through lightweight agents or agentless connectors — typically 2–4 hours for a standard environment — and can be deployed on-premises, in your private cloud or in a regional cloud, so monitoring data stays within your jurisdiction.
Does it work with the monitoring tools we already use?
Yes. Edge is designed for a no-rip-and-replace approach and connects alongside your existing stack, with 100+ integrations across cloud, containers, databases, APM agents, telemetry standards and alerting channels.
How does OTEL connect to the rest of Edge?
OTEL writes its data to the Edge Datalake, so it can be queried and correlated in real time with application traces, logs, infrastructure metrics and real user data from the other Edge modules.
How is it priced?
Pricing is tailored to the scale of your environment, the modules you choose and your deployment model. Start with a short, no-obligation discovery session and NCG will prepare a scoped proposal.
