From Hype to Reality How many of you actually have OpenTelemetry in production right now? When Diana Todea asked this during her session at OSMC 2025, the lack of hands in the room proved her point. There is still a huge gap between the popularity of a project and its actual implementation. As a Developer Experience Engineer, Diana didn't just talk about the tech. She shared her "serendipity journey" that led her from building the first OTel exams to founding the Romanian localization group....

Are you paying for metrics you never actually use? And how many of your alerting rules are silently broken? These questions caught my attention when I saw Roman Khavronenko's talk in the OSMC 2025 program. As someone who's been working with monitoring systems, I was eager to learn how to make monitoring more efficient and cost-effective. Introducing the Speaker and the Topic At OSMC 2025, Roman Khavronenko from VictoriaMetrics presented his talk focused on a critical but often overlooked...

While Alvar who wrote the recap of yesterday was at the OSMC for the first time, you know me probably from one off the earlier editions and so do many attendees. This is the reason I really enjoyed most seeing familiar faces and having a chat with people. And this does not mean I did not enjoy giving a workshop on Tuesday or the talks yesterday as everything at OSMC is high quality in my opinion and I can compare it with many different conferences I attended over the years. The Morning Easy...
Although I have been an Icinga developer for over two years now, this was my very first OSMC. I went to meet some of our community members and see what others are doing in the monitoring domain. Getting new impressions always motivates me and helps me avoid getting stuck in groupthink. Thus, I tried to visit a variety of talks, both in my field and on topics with which I am not familiar. However, I usually try to avoid the latest hype. Without further ado, let's get started! The Morning...

The structured, high-stakes world of firefighting intrigued me the moment I saw Daniil Doronkin’s talk in the OSMC 2024 program. As someone who’s been involved in incident management on-call rotations and postmortem reviews, I was curious how the world of emergency response could inform how we handle IT incidents. Doronkin’s talk offered more than just an interesting metaphor - it provided a practical framework that I’ve since reflected on deeply. Introducing the Speaker and the Topic At OSMC...

When Numbers Tell Tales: A Personal Take on Dave McAllister's Talk Have you ever read a headline claiming that "90% of users prefer this tool" and thought, “Wait, who are these users?” That’s exactly the kind of question Dave McAllister wants you to ask. At OSMC 2024, Dave—Senior Open Source Technologist at NGINX—took the stage with a presentation that felt more like a wake-up call than a lecture: "The Subtle Art of Misleading with Statistics." As a trainee in IT Specialist for Data and...

The combination of private cloud and open-source technologies caught my attention in the OSMC 2024 program, as I’ve recently been deeply engaged in working with a monitoring solution. After completing my Icinga Fundamentals Training and a hands-on project where I set up Icinga monitoring for my Nextcloud server, I was eager to dive deeper into the topic. However, I wasn’t sure what exactly was meant by “private cloud” in this context, so this talk provided valuable new insights for me....
