SREcon25 Americas - From HAR to OpenTelemetry Trace: Redefining Browser Observability

From HAR to OpenTelemetry Trace: Redefining Browser Observability Antonio Jimenez, Cisco ThousandEyes Have you heard about HTTP Archive (HAR) files and wondered how you could leverage this data for deeper insights into your web applications? Imagine analyzing your page load request data as OpenTelemetry traces in your favorite observability backend. In this talk, we will explore the lessons learned from transforming HAR into an OpenTelemetry trace and streaming it to Jaeger. You'll gain insights into the process of converting HAR data into spans following OpenTelemetry semantic conventions and learn about the architecture we used to send these traces to any observability backend via the OpenTelemetry collector.
