Coralogix Workshops

Welcome to the Coralogix Workshops — community-maintained reference implementations and tutorials focused on:

  • OpenTelemetry tracing and Collector configuration
  • Observability techniques
  • Coralogix platform usage

Note: Except for RUM workshops, these examples are not designed to run on local machines (laptops/desktops), even with Docker or Kubernetes. They require production-grade environments, such as AWS EKS or EC2.

These workshops are community-supported and are not official documentation for either OpenTelemetry or Coralogix.

The Workshops

Workshops are organized into three categories:

  • OpenTelemetry Collector – Configuration techniques and examples
  • Tracing Instrumentation – Sample apps instrumented in multiple languages
  • Other – RUM (Real User Monitoring), eBPF, and more

Each workshop includes a reference app and/or configuration you can study and deploy.
Browse the GitHub repo to understand how these examples work.

Tracing Workshops

Microservices Workshop: Tracing + Collector Configs

Includes:

  • OpenTelemetry Collector for metrics, traces, and logs (Kubernetes)
  • Automatic tracing instrumentation for Python container apps
  • Realistic microservices-based simulation
  • Prometheus custom metrics
  • Redis span tracing and DB monitoring
  • Simulated failure scenarios and “bad deployments”

OpenTelemetry Collector Configuration Examples

Tracing in Hosted Container Environments

AWS ECS Fargate (PHP)

  • Microservice with OpenTelemetry Collector
  • Full Fargate Task & ECS configuration

AWS ECS EC2 (Python/Node.js)

  • OpenTelemetry Collector container setup
  • Sample app container & CloudFormation template

Tracing Instrumentation Examples (Containers/Hosts)

Autogenerators

Demo apps with automatic tracing for:

  • .NET
  • Node.js
  • Java
  • Python

Kubernetes-Specific Tracing

Autoinjection: Instrumentation Injection in Kubernetes

Auto-inject tracing for:

  • .NET
  • Node.js
  • Java
  • Python

Kubernetes eBPF: APM Without Instrumentation

Use Linux Kernel’s eBPF to generate spans and dashboards without modifying code or deployments:

  • .NET
  • Node.js
  • Java
  • Python

Manual Instrumentation

OpenTelemetry Manual Instrumentation

Examples using the OpenTelemetry SDKs and APIs to send telemetry data (logs, metrics, traces) directly from applications.

Real User Monitoring (RUM)

Measure frontend performance and correlate user sessions with backend telemetry:
RUM for Browser & Mobile

Coralogix Live Demo Scripts
