Distributed Tracing with ClickHouse® & OpenTelemetry
WEBINAR
Distributed Tracing with ClickHouse® & OpenTelemetry
June 18 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am PDT
Have you ever wondered what happens inside a distributed database when you run a query? In this webinar, we’ll explore the inner workings of ClickHouse using OpenTelemetry-compatible distributed tracing.
First, we’ll analyze the internal workings of various ClickHouse clusters while we run a variety of queries.
Then we’ll show how to use OpenTelemetry- and eBPF-based tools to observe queries coming into ClickHouse with context from the client applications, creating comprehensive end-to-end traces.
Finally, we’ll show how ClickHouse itself can be used as a versatile storage layer for trace data, and we’ll connect our data in ClickHouse to trace to visualization tools like Jaeger and Grafana.
The webinar has ended, but because we love you, here is the on-demand video of the webinar:
