From Symptom to Root Cause: Tracking Issues with io.Insights Traces

Why is an application running slowly, and how can you identify the root cause of an issue across multiple applications and workflows? In this second webinar in the io.Insights series, Velko Nikolov, Engineering Lead at interop.io, demonstrates how distributed tracing helps teams investigate performance problems, understand application behavior, and troubleshoot issues across their io.Connect environment. Through practical examples, Velko shows how io.Insights traces capture the relationships between operations, making it easier to follow events across applications, workspaces, and platform services. He explores how tracing works alongside metrics and logs, and how OpenTelemetry-based observability helps teams move from identifying a problem to understanding what caused it. What you'll learn: What distributed traces are and how they complement metrics and logs How io.Insights captures traces and correlates operations across io.Connect applications How to investigate slow platform, application, and workspace startup How to identify performance bottlenecks using trace comparisons and critical path analysis How to troubleshoot unresponsive applications and inefficient data-sharing operations How to trace errors across complex, multi-application workflows How custom instrumentation and business-specific attributes can enrich tracing data What to consider around telemetry volume, sensitive data, and performance overhead Learn more about io.Insights: https://interop.io/products/io-insights/ #ioInsights #Observability #OpenTelemetry
