Using OpenTelemetry's Exponential Histograms in Prometheus

Using OpenTelemetry's Exponential Histograms in Prometheus

Explore the capabilities and design of high-resolution histograms in a 26-minute conference talk by OpenTelemetry maintainer Ruslan Kovalov and Prometheus maintainer Ganesh Vernekar. Dive into the collaboration between OpenTelemetry and Prometheus to create compatible, high-resolution histograms that offer improved storage efficiency, higher accuracy of quantile estimations, flexible histogram buckets, and simplified configuration. Learn about exponential buckets, exponential histograms, Prometheus native histograms, and the translation process. Discover how to implement OpenTelemetry's high-resolution histograms in Prometheus with native support, and gain insights into the system setup required for effective integration.
