Jaeger, inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin, is a distributed tracing system released as open source by Uber Technologies. It is used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems. OpenTracing compatible data model and instrumentation libraries include Go, Java, Node, Python, C++ and C#. Jaeger uses consistent upfront sampling with individual per service/endpoint probabilities and it has multiple storage backends: Cassandra, Elasticsearch, memory. -

OpenObserve
Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative for (logs, metrics, traces)
OpenObserve is a cloud-native observability platform built specifically for logs, metrics, traces, and analytics designed to work at a petabyte scale. It is very simple and easy to operate as opposed to Elasticsearch which requires a couple of dozen knobs to understand and tune which you can get up and running in under 2 minutes. It is a drop-in replacement for Elasticsearch if you are just ingesting data using APIs and searching using Kibana (Kibana is not supported nor required with OpenObserve. OpenObserve provides its own UI which does not require separate installation unlike Kibana). You can reduce your log storage costs by ~140x compared to Elasticsearch by using OpenObserve. Below are the results when we pushed logs from our production Kubernetes cluster to Elasticsearch and OpenObserve using fluent bit. OpenObserve stored data in Amazon s3 and Elasticsearch stored data on Amazon EBS volumes. -

Cilium
eBPF-based networking, security, and observability
Cilium is open-source software for providing, securing and observing network connectivity between container workloads, cloud-native, and fueled by the revolutionary Kernel technology eBPF. Kubernetes doesn't come with an implementation of Load Balancing. This is usually left as an exercise for your cloud provider or in private cloud environments an exercise for your networking team. Cilium can attract this traffic with BGP and accelerate leveraging XDP and eBPF. Together these technologies provide a very robust and secure implementation of Load Balancing. Cilium and eBPF operate at the kernel layer. With this level of context we can make intelligent decisions about how to connect different workloads whether on the same node or between clusters. With eBPF and XDP Cilium enables significant improvements in latency and performance and eliminates the need for kube-proxy entirely. -

OpenClaw Opik Observability Plugin
Official plugin for OpenClaw that exports agent traces to Opik
OpenClaw Opik Observability Plugin is an open-source plugin designed to add observability and monitoring capabilities to OpenClaw autonomous AI agents by exporting operational traces to the Opik observability platform. The project integrates directly with OpenClaw’s plugin architecture so that developers can capture detailed runtime information about how their agents behave while executing tasks. Each time an AI agent performs an action—such as calling a large language model, invoking a tool, accessing memory, or delegating to a sub-agent—the plugin records the full interaction and sends it to Opik for analysis and visualization. This allows developers to inspect inputs, outputs, token usage, latency, and execution flow across complex multi-step agent workflows. The goal of the project is to provide transparency into the internal reasoning and operational pipeline of agent systems so developers can diagnose failures, control costs, and improve reliability. -
