OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions define how telemetry should look, but do instrumentations actually follow them in practice? Your organization might define additional conventions - but how do you ensure instrumentations stay up to date as conventions evolve?

What if you could get a comprehensive report on the actual telemetry your application produces, checked against your conventions model?

We’re excited to share OpenTelemetry Weaver’s live check: a validation tool that listens to telemetry in real time and analyzes its compatibility against formally defined conventions. We’ll show you how to run live checks in your CI/CD pipelines to catch instrumentation issues before they hit production - no more guessing whether your telemetry matches your model.

Beyond basic model compliance, we’ll also demonstrate how to write Rego policies to enforce organization-specific checks and best practices.
