About Classic Lightstep features

Classic Lightstep features will soon be replaced by new and improved unified workflows.

Product Docs

Create and manage dashboards

Learn how to create dashboards that can display both your metric and span data.

Product Docs

Create dashboards from tri-charts

Group multiple Streams to create a dashboard.

Product Docs

Create deployment markers

You can add deployment markers to your charts to see when service versions change, and if the change affects performance in any way.

Product Docs

Find correlated areas of latency and errors

A standard method of identifying the root cause of a performance regression is to manually comb through traces and search for common system attributes associated with that regression or with errors. With Correlations, Lightstep Observability helps you find attributes correlated with latency and errors automatically.

Ingest Prometheus metrics using an OpenTelemetry Collector on Kubernetes

Ingest existing Prometheus metrics into Lightstep Observability using the OpenTelemetry Collector running in a Kubernetes environemnt.

Product Docs

Ingest Prometheus metrics with an OpenTelemetry Collector on Kubernetes

Lightstep Observability recommends using OpenTelemetry Collectors to scrape Kubernetes metrics and send them to Lightstep.

Product Docs

Install the OpenTelemetry Collector on Kubernetes

Install an OpenTelemetry Collector on Kubernetes to begin collecting application and infrastructure metrics

Product Docs

Investigate a latency regression

You can use Lightstep Observability not only to monitor your services after a deploy, but also to compare performance over specific time periods and then dig into details to find the differences that caused the issue.

Product Docs

Investigate an error rate increase

When you notice an increase in error rate on Lightstep Observability's Service Health view, you can use the analytical tools to find the source of errors.

Product Docs

Monitor Kubernetes applications

Lightstep Observability can ingest Kubernetes infrastructure and application metrics using the OpenTelemetry Collector and Operator. If you're currently using Prometheus from metrics, you can also choose to replace those with the Collector and Operator.

Product Docs

Monitor deployments

Lightstep Observability offers a way to see how your deployments (even partial deployments) affect your service performance.

Product Docs

Monitor performance

Use Lightstep to monitor performance of you services.

Product Docs

Monitor service health and performance changes

See the health of the key operations on your services, including latency, error rate, operation rate, and infrastructure metrics.

Product Docs

Monitor span data with Streams

Create Streams to view historical span and trace data and monitor your services.

Product Docs

Monitor span data with Streams

Create Streams to view historical span and trace data and monitor your services.

OpenTelemetry Kubernetes metrics Quick Start

Ingest Prometheus metrics into Lightstep Observability using the OpenTelemetry Collector running in a Kubernetes environemnt.

Product Docs

Query real-time span data

Lightstep Observability's Explorer view allows you to query all span data currently in the Microsatellites' retention window to see what's going on. You create Snapshots that are durably persisted, allowing you to view performance at a certain point in time and share that Snapshot with others. You can see real-time span data, filter and group that data, and drill down on common attributes that may be causing latency.

Product Docs

Scale an OpenTelemetry Collector's tracing pipeline in Kubernetes

This topic provides instructions for scaling the OpenTelemetry Collector deployment for tracing in Kubernetes.

Product Docs

Use dependency maps

You can add dependency maps to your dashboards and notebooks that allow you to view services and operations in context of each other, both up and downstream.

Product Docs

View and compare deployed versions

Lightstep Observability offers a way to see how your deployments (even partial deployments) affect your service performance.

Product Docs

View service health

Lightstep Observability offers a way to quickly see how all your services and their operations are performing in one place - the Service Directory view.

Product Docs

View service hierarchy and performance

You can use Lightstep Observability's Service diagram to get an aggregate view of trace data as a request travels through your system. The Service diagram provides a visual, interactive, and hierarchical representation of a system’s behavior for a given point in time.

Product Docs

View traces

You use the Trace view to see a full trace from beginning to end of a request. The Trace view shows you a flame graph of the full trace (each service a different color) and below that, each span is shown in a hierarchy, allowing you to see the parent-child relationship of all the spans in the trace. Errors are shown in red.

Product Docs

Visualize your data

You use charts in your dashboards, notebooks, and alerts to visualize your data.
