Storage is one of the last blind spots in most observability stacks. In this webinar, experts from Tintri and Integration Plumbers introduce a new, open-source OpenTelemetry (OTEL) Collector designed to bring granular Tintri storage metrics into the monitoring tools teams already run.
The session walks through how to map IOPS, latency, and throughput metrics directly into Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog — without re-engineering your infrastructure — and includes a live demo of the collector in action.
What You'll Learn
- Why Storage Is a Blind Spot in Observability: Why application and infrastructure teams rarely see storage performance in their dashboards, and why that gap matters when things go wrong.
- OpenTelemetry & CNCF Standards: A concise primer on OTEL as the vendor-neutral backbone for modern observability data.
- How the Tintri OTEL Collector Works: Under the hood of the new open-source collector — what it exposes, how it integrates, and where it sits in your pipeline.
- Live Demo — Installing and Configuring the Collector: A step-by-step walkthrough of getting the collector running against Tintri storage.
- Visualizing Storage Metrics in Grafana: Seeing IOPS, latency, and throughput alongside your application telemetry for true end-to-end context.
- Scalability & Kubernetes Support: How the collector scales in production and what Kubernetes support looks like today.
- Roadmap and Future Features: What's next for the Tintri OTEL integration.
