Our focus is to enable OpenTelemetry on the mainframe +for improved end-to-end observability and to support mainframe participation in +hybrid cloud applications. **The SIG launched a new [survey] that calls for your +participation.** + +## Background + +While there are many definitions of observability, we will refer here to the +ability to receive actionable insight about the behavior of hybrid applications +spanning multiple landing zones such as public and private cloud and mainframe +environments. + +OpenTelemetry is a well-adopted open source framework for observability that +aims to make high quality telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs +available from any source to any target. OpenTelemetry remains the second most +active project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The community +of the OpenTelemetry project has made major efforts to provide specifications +and implementations that unify the collection, processing, and distribution of +telemetry. + +Given the breadth of the OpenTelemetry project and sophisticated capabilities of +the mainframe, we as contributors to the SIG want to better understand the +priorities for making the best use of OpenTelemetry on the mainframes. We seek +feedback from a broad range of mainframe users and users of observability +solutions, developers, site reliability engineers, application owners, +architects, DevOps engineers, and all other experts in the field. + +The results of the [survey] will help us prioritize and implement targeted +activities to accelerate the adoption of OpenTelemetry on the mainframe +platform. Such activities could be the expedited porting of selected SDKs for +code instrumentation to z/OS or the definition of Semantic Conventions for +specific aspects of the platform. Once the survey is complete, we will publish +the results and a prioritized list of activities on the websites of the +OpenTelemetry project and The Open Mainframe Project. + +## Taking the survey + +The [survey] is structured in two sections. The first section gathers input +about your role and background. The second section gathers the priorities of +your organization for enabling OpenTelemetry on mainframes. Responding to the 20 +questions will take approximately 15 minutes. We appreciate your time spent on +the survey and look forward to receiving your feedback! + +We invite you to take the [survey].
