Observability Team Update - Weeks 31-32 (2024)

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

Below are the team’s updates for weeks 31 to 32 of 2024. First, as always, let’s introduce the fantastic team and what we’re building.

:muscle: The Team

The Observability team at Canonical consists of three sub-teams, managed by Simme

Our goal is to provide you with the best open-source observability stack possible, turning your day-2 operations into smooth sailing.

:hammer_and_wrench: The Work

:anatomical_heart: Core Team

Besides fixing bugs here and there, and supporting the increasing amount of COS-Lite users, we mainly worked in our Mimir and Loki HA stories.

We added integration tests to Mimir Worker charm and released our first Loki HA version.

:male_detective: Tracing Team

A lot of progress has been don during this Pulse!

Now, grafana agent charm supports Tracing! and we continue to improve our Tempo HA story by creating a bundle and using the generic Coordinated workers lib in Tempo worker charm.

:spider_web: Mesh Team

This pulse the mesh team continued its focus on getting closer to have a full working path of the istio charm .

Also, we squashed numerous bugs, here, here, here, etc throughout the stack!

:pray: Feedback welcome

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! :partying_face:

Would it be too much to ask some one in your team add in the new Tempo/tracing support for the observed charm which is currently my reference implementation of a machine charm implementing support for the COS lite.

I would love to add in this, but I will probably not have the capacity in a while.

Much has happened since I wrote it and its probably outdated in many ways now. If we can get some assistance “modernizing” it, we will use it as a template for future work.

Hi @erik-lonroth

We, as a team, are overloaded with work right now.

Anyway I believe this is a great opportunity for new Software Engineers joining Canonical complete this task as part of their onboarding programme.

Please, let me know your thoughts.
