Less Noise, More Signal: Hacking Your OpenTelemetry Pipeline

What if you could fine-tune your OpenTelemetry pipeline to reduce noise and improve insights? The real magic happens when you take control of your data flow.

In this session, we’ll dive into creating custom OpenTelemetry pipelines using the OpenTelemetry Collector. You’ll learn how to wire up receivers, processors, and exporters to build flexible, efficient pipelines tailored to your observability goals. We’ll explore common patterns like filtering noisy data, routing telemetry to multiple backends, and enriching spans with contextual metadata. Through a hands-on demo, you’ll see how easy it is to move from a default setup to fully customized pipelines.

If you’re ready to go beyond the defaults and make OpenTelemetry work for you, this session is your starting point.
