Tracing Team pulse report 2026#6

Hi all,

we’re still here, tracing, profiling, and chaos-confusing all your code.

We are :man_factory_worker: :man_factory_worker: :man_factory_worker: :man_factory_worker: :small_airplane:

What did we do this pulse

  • We have finished work on the Litmus Infrastructure charm! This is now live.
    • Minor setback: we worked on the rocks for the execution plane components but turns out some of the images the upstream is using are quite outdated and riddled with CVEs, so we’re going to try and contribute a fix upstream instead of patching it from the charm.
  • various CI maintenance and bugfixing
  • juju-doctor probes for tempo, (mimir and loki in progress)
  • side-track: we’re monorepoing the mimir and loki charms on behalf of the core team

Other announcements

Bartłomiej Gmerek (@gmerold) is leaving Canonical shortly, but in his time here has made substantial contributions to Charmed Litmus and latterly did an amazing job of exorcising a cursed internal staging environment. Congrats on the new role, and thank you for your contributions here!
