Workshop completion
Congratulations! You’ve completed all 4 modules of the OpenShift Observability Workshop.
Your observability journey
-
Module 1: User workload monitoring with Prometheus and Alertmanager
-
Module 2: Centralized logging with LokiStack and LogQL
-
Module 3: Distributed tracing with Tempo and Jaeger
-
Module 4: Unified instrumentation with OpenTelemetry
What you’ve achieved
You’ve implemented a comprehensive observability stack that provides:
-
Real-time metrics and custom alerts for proactive issue detection
-
Centralized logs searchable across all microservices
-
End-to-end request tracing for performance optimization
-
Standardized instrumentation with OpenTelemetry
Skills gained
-
Configure observability infrastructure on OpenShift
-
Write queries (PromQL, LogQL) to analyze application behavior
-
Correlate metrics, logs, and traces for fast incident resolution
-
Instrument applications using industry-standard OpenTelemetry
-
Implement production-ready observability practices
Business impact
-
Mean time to detection: Reduced from hours to seconds
-
Mean time to resolution: Reduced from 2-4 hours to 15-30 minutes
-
Operational efficiency: 60-70% reduction in troubleshooting time
-
Reliability: Proactive issue detection before user impact
Next steps
