This survey is conducted by the OpenTelemetry End User Working Group. You can find our working group in CNCF Slack instance channel #otel-user-research.

The following group will have access to your detailed responses: end user working group contributors. Anonymized, aggregate responses will be shared in public with the OpenTelemetry project. For questions, or to remove your data, contact: Reese Lee or Rynn Mancuso.

Please select a role that most closely aligns with your persona:

I primarily produce or add OpenTelemetry signals (e.g. install/configure/instrument with OTel)

I primarily consume or analyze OpenTelemetry signals (e.g. use OTel to gain insights)

I primarily integrate OpenTelemetry signals (e.g. third party relationship: framework library authors/maintainers who create source-code instrumentation)

Please select a level of experience that best describes your familiarity with observability practices and tools:

I am a beginner / new to observability

I have some / intermediate level of observability experience

I have an advanced / deep level of observability experience
