OpenSearchCon India 2026

Open source observability has moved beyond dashboards and “logs vs metrics vs traces.” Today, teams are converging on unified telemetry pipelines that support reliability and security use cases—without locking into a single tool. In this session, we’ll map the evolving landscape of open source tools for analytics, observability, and security, and show how modern stacks are built around standardized instrumentation (OpenTelemetry), scalable backends (Prometheus ecosystem, Grafana/Loki/Tempo, OpenSearch/Elastic alternatives), and policy-driven operations in Kubernetes.

We’ll cover the biggest shifts shaping the ecosystem: tool sprawl → composable platforms, manual triage → automated correlation, and rising data costs → smarter sampling and routing. You’ll leave with a practical reference architecture for collecting, enriching, routing, storing, and querying telemetry—plus guidance on selecting components based on scale, compliance, and budget.
