Jaeger
Monitor and troubleshoot transactions in complex distributed systems
As on-the-ground microservice practitioners are quickly realizing, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application. 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. -

Kamon Telemetry
Distributed Tracing, Metrics and Context Propagation for applications
Kamon Telemetry is a set of libraries for instrumenting applications running on the JVM. With Kamon Telemetry you can collect metrics, propagate context across threads and services, and get distributed traces automatically. The best way to get started is by following our installation guides and taking it from there. Have fun with Kamon. Monitor your backend applications, fix performance issues, and get alerted when problems happen. All without being a monitoring expert. Everybody starts monitoring with logs because they are there by default. Just connect to your server and start tailing. But logs have a hard time showing you the overall response times for your application, or whether certain calls to the database are happening in sequence or parallel (among a million other things). -

Go gRPC Middleware
Golang gRPC Middlewares: interceptor chaining, auth, logging, retries
gRPC Go has support for "interceptors", i.e. middleware that is executed either on the gRPC Server before the request is passed onto the user's application logic, or on the gRPC client either around the user call. It is a perfect way to implement common patterns: auth, logging, tracing, metrics, validation, retries, rate limiting, and more, which can be great generic building blocks that make it easy to build multiple microservices. Especially for observability signals (logging, tracing, metrics) interceptors offer semi-auto-instrumentation that improves the consistency of your observability and allows great correlation techniques (e.g. exemplars and trace ID in logs). Demo-ed in examples. This repository offers ready-to-use middleware that implements gRPC interceptors with examples. In some cases, dedicated projects offer great interceptors, so this repository skips those, and we link them in the interceptors list. -

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. -
