OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source, vendor-neutral project providing standardized metrics, traces, and logs for application and infrastructure observability. This session introduces OpenTelemetry's core concepts and demonstrates how it can be used to gain real-time visibility into infrastructure performance. Attendees will learn about integrating OTel with popular monitoring backends, setting up infrastructure instrumentation, and extracting actionable insights for performance optimization and troubleshooting.
Based on customer request, in this session we will cover the following topics: Using Callable Services to prevent duplication of similar code in several programs in an application suite. Using sidefiles to reduce the object size of COBOL programs. Using Debug Tool or CEETRACE to check logic flow and remove redundant code. Describing various methods to generate dumps and diagnostic data to provide 21CS for analysis.
This session will focus on the physical planning consideration for the system covering the power, layout, site tools and environmental stats. We will also explore the installation experience for the 9175 at the Washington Systems Center as part of the early support program.
