Hello everyone. My name is Marinko Spasojevic and in this video, I will show you how to use OpenTelemetry metrics to gain insight into the health and performance and even issues our applications may be experiencing.
Metrics are one of the 3 fundamental pillars of OpenTelemetry, and they represent an aggregation of numeric data over time, providing measurements for our applications.
As I already said, a metric is a measurement of a service or application that we capture at runtime, and aggregate over a given time period. These metrics provide insight into our applications' availability, health, and performance.
The OpenTelemetry project provides a set of client libraries for .NET that allows us to collect metrics on measurements such as HTTP requests/responses, and memory allocation.

what's the best way to run Prometheus in production, I have the opensource exe on a dedicated server but keeps shutting down after a period of time

Hmmm... the best way... I can't tell, there are situations for different approaches for sure. I was talking to my team and we always ran it through Docker, generally in a Kubernetes cluster. That way it is resilient to restarts (handled by Kubernetes) and means we can have multiple instances should it be required.
