Hello, Hola, Ciao, Hej, Hallo, Witam, مرحباً بكم, שלום everyone!

Below are the team’s updates for weeks 10 to 11 of 2025. First, as always, let’s introduce the fantastic team and what we’re building.

The Observability Core team at Canonical consists of Leon (Manager), Jose, Luca, and Mike.

Together with the Tracing and Profiling and Service Mesh teams, we form the full Observability team, managed by Simme.

Here’s the main progress we made this pulse:

( new) A k6 (for load testing) spec, rock, and charm were created
( new) “The flow of alert rules” Explanation doc
( new) Build a custom otel collector binary
( wip) Improve “How to deploy COS in a distributed with terraform” doc with canonical/observability PR #275
( wip) Juju-doctor restructuring and multi-event probes
( wip) Opentelemetry-collector Loki log forwarding
( wip) Opentelemetry-collector processor config architecture
( bug) Fix os-dependent rust library for canonical/grafana-agent-operator with PR #262, PR #264, and PR #265
( bug) Incorrect web.external-url set · Issue #247 · canonical/alertmanager-k8s-operator · GitHub

As always, feedback is very welcome! Feel free to let us know your thoughts, questions, or suggestions either here or on our Matrix channel.

That’s all for this time! See you again in two weeks!
