# OpenTelemetry Integration

OpenTelemetry is an open-source cloud-native project that provides a framework for collecting and managing telemetry data (traces, metrics, and logs) from software applications. It helps developers observe and understand the behavior and performance of their systems.

OpenTelemetry offers a comprehensive, unified approach to observability, making it easier for organizations to monitor and manage their applications and infrastructure effectively.

## Tracing

Traces track the journey of requests or transactions as they move through various components of a distributed system. Tracing helps you understand the flow and performance of these transactions.

See [OpenTelemetry Traces Integration](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.3.6/agent-otel-traces/).

## Metrics

Metrics provide quantitative data about the performance and health of a system. They can include things like response times, error rates, and resource utilization.

## Logging

Logs capture and store detailed records of events and errors that occur within an application. They provide context and help diagnose issues.
