Happy Saturday all. I've been trying out using tracing-opentelemetry, and while there seems to be a lot of great concepts behind it, I'm a bit dissapointed with the tooling I've found so far for actually debugging a program from using the logs. Mostly people are just recommenting Jaeger and Zipkin--but Jaeger doesn't seem to support querying, even at the level of regex matching against an attribute, and Zipkin looks to be very HTTP specific. Honeycomb looks like it's probably very high quality, but I really don't like the idea of having to upload my logs to a cloud service. I might try Elastic stack stuff more, but it seems overkill and complex. Are there any recommendations people have for opentelemetry visualizers they're satisfied with?
I'm happy with Kibana. I do agree that it is complex though. I don't know your hosting setup, but if you use Kubernetes, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes greatly reduces the complexity of hosting the Elastic stack in your cluster.
