Elastic Introduces Distributions of OpenTelemetry

SREs and developers can now access a portfolio of OpenTelemetry components and out-of-the-box configurations designed to improve infrastructure and application monitoring with Elastic Observability

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, announced Elastic Distributions of OpenTelemetry (EDOT), a portfolio of OpenTelemetry (OTel) components designed to improve infrastructure and application monitoring in standard OTel distributions and functions. EDOT provides deeper insights and troubleshooting capabilities to users, including fixes outside of OTel release cycles and enterprise-grade support from Elastic.

“As organizations’ use of technology evolves, so do their needs for application and stack observability,” said Ken Exner, chief product officer at Elastic. “Building on our decision to adopt and recommend OTel for observing applications, Elastic is committed to contributing EDOT features or components upstream into the OTel community, fostering a collaborative environment and enhancing the overall OTel ecosystem.”

EDOT includes the following components: Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector (EDOT Collector) and Elastic Distributions of Language Software Development Kits (SDKs), supporting Java, Python, NodeJS, .NET, and iOS and Android, with support for more languages to be rolled out.

The Elastic Distributions of SDKs bring additional application performance monitoring (APM) capabilities from Elastic's APM agents into OTel language SDKs, while maintaining seamless integration with Elastic Observability. Elastic will release OTel versions of its APM agents and continue to add additional language SDKs mirroring OTel.

EDOT users can still use native OTel components in conjunction with Elastic. Details and documentation for all EDOT components are available in Elastic’s public OpenTelemetry GitHub repository.

EDOT is available now in tech preview. For more information, read the Elastic blog.
