Webinar – Fleet Management with OpenTelemetry (OTEL)

Wednesday, February 18th at 11:00AM MT / 10:00AM PT / 1:00PM ET

Modern telemetry isn’t just for cloud apps anymore — fleets are telemetry systems too.

In this live webinar, we’ll walk through a practical blueprint for fleet management observability using OpenTelemetry (OTEL): how to manage per-vehicle API credentials, design a collector with durable local state, deploy it cleanly in containers, simulate the upstream API to speed up testing, and build a Grafana dashboard that’s actually useful.

What You’ll Learn:

During this session, we’ll cover:

  • Fleet API key management
    • Each vehicle has multiple API keys — how to track them safely
    • Using a lightweight SQLite database for configuration and state
  • Collector design using a SQLite state file
    • Why local state matters for real-world collectors
    • What belongs in config vs. what belongs in state
  • Command Line Interface (CLI) operations
    • A simple CLI app for adding vehicles and validating config
    • Making fleet operations repeatable (and less “tribal knowledge”)
  • Production deployment patterns
    • Running the collector in Docker and/or Kubernetes
    • Read-only SQLite config vs. writable SQLite state:
      • Read-only: easy to distribute, but changes don’t persist and updates require redeploy
      • Writable: supports persisted state and config changes without redeploy, but adds operational complexity
  • Simulating the fleet API (for fun and profit)
    • Why simulation saves time, money, and sanity
    • Defining your fleet model and generating realistic telemetry
    • Simulating offline / out-of-service behavior and last connection timestamps
    • Modeling vehicle state signals such as:
      • battery level, charger state/status, charge limits, range and distance-to-empty
      • Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) location (latitude/longitude + timestamp)
      • mileage and other operational indicators
  • Grafana dashboard design for fleet overview
    • Turning telemetry into an at-a-glance view of fleet health
    • Building cleaner, more actionable views (not just a wall of charts)

Who Should Attend

This webinar is ideal for:

  • DevOps and Platform Engineers
  • Site Reliability Engineers (SREs)
  • Observability / telemetry architects
  • Engineers building collectors for external Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), devices, or fleet systems
  • Teams who want a practical OpenTelemetry pattern they can reuse beyond “typical” services

A basic familiarity with Python and observability concepts is helpful, but not required.
