OpenTelemetry metrics

You can configure monitoring and alerting using OpenTelemetry so that you're aware of potential issues before they negatively impact application performance or availability.

OpenTelemetry metrics are the future foundation for monitoring, available from GitHub Enterprise Server 3.18 onward. This new monitoring stack provides enhanced observability and management capabilities compared to the legacy collectd system.

Collectd metrics continue to be gathered by default and remain fully supported in this release.

Remarque

OpenTelemetry metrics are in public preview and subject to change. We would love to hear your feedback on the preview. You can share it with your customer success team, or leave a comment in the community discussion post.
