Node.js
Setting up OpenTelemetry to ingest data into the FusionReactor Cloud with Node.js is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few minutes. This setup enhances your visibility into your application's performance and the metrics it generates, enabling rapid diagnosis and resolution of issues.
The following step-by-step guide shows how to configure OpenTelemetry to send data to the FusionReactor Cloud using Docker and a simple Node.js application. This guide is based on the OpenTelemetry Node.js GitHub project.
Step 1: Instrument OpenTelemetry in your Node.js application
Begin by integrating OpenTelemetry into your Node.js application. This process involves adding the necessary libraries and setting up the instrumentation to collect trace and metric data from your application.
