One question per topic, written to challenge SREs, software engineers, and OpenTelemetry maintainers alike.
What the quiz covers
Each run draws one question from each of these ten topics, from the conventions that make telemetry comparable to the tools that build and transform it.
- Semantic conventions
- Attribute and span names, and the stability rules that make telemetry comparable across services.
- SDKs and zero-code instrumentation
- Configuring providers, processors, and exporters, and what agents and automatic instrumentation add.
- Traces and context
- Spans, span kinds, and how context propagates across process boundaries.
- Metrics
- Instruments, temporality, aggregation, and views.
- Logs
- The log data model, bridges from existing logging libraries, and correlation with traces.
- The Collector
- Receivers, processors, exporters, and how pipelines move data through them.
- OTTL
- The OpenTelemetry Transformation Language for filtering and reshaping telemetry in the Collector.
- Sampling
- Head and tail sampling, and what each one trades away.
- Weaver
- Defining, validating, and generating code from semantic convention registries.
- otelc
- Compile-time, zero-code instrumentation for Go.
