OpenTelemetry and Grafana stack with Docker Compose or Aspire

OpenTelemetry together with the Grafana stack

This repository is a work in progress, about having an observability stack for your microservices environment.

Note

Instead of using docker compose to start up the environment, you can also take a look at the repository using .NET Aspire as orchestrator
It is available on the aspire branch: aspire orchestrated version

Components used:

• ASP.NET Web API for demo services
• RabbitMq as message queue
• OpenTelemetry Collector as middle man for tracing and logs
• BlackBox and Prometheus for service metrics and health checks
• Loki for log aggregation
• Tempo for tracing aggregation
• Grafana for overall dashboarding

Remarks:

For alert provisioning we can extract the JSON through use of the Grafana API: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/alerting_provisioning/

This sample is sending logs from SeriLog to OpenTelemetry in OTLP format and OpenTelemetry will pass it along to Loki.

Usage:

docker compose -f docker-compose-mac.yml --profile all up -d
docker compose -f docker-compose-mac.yml --profile all down
