The lack of functionality to do deadman checks is one of my biggest gripes with PromQL. Fortunately, MetricsQL (a superset of PromQL) has added this functionality, and it’s very easy to use. If you’re not familiar with MetricsQL, it’s the built in query language in VictoriaMetrics, a horizontally scalable time series database. VictoriaMetrics is my go to database for storing Prometheus metrics because of how performant and easy to use it is compared to alternatives like Mimir or Thanos.

In the world of software development, log management plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of applications and detecting potential issues. Vector is an open source project currently maintained by DataDog that provides robust capability for collecting, transforming, and routing logs. OpenTelemetry is an observability framework that simplifies the process of collecting, processing, and exporting telemetry data, including logs, from within your application through the use of SDKs. In this article, we will explore a simple example of sending logs to Vector using the Python OpenTelemetry SDK.
