🎙️ Event hosts: Grafana and Friends Virtual Meetup Group

🔐 About the event:
We’re back with a new Grafana ❤️‍🔥 OpenTelemetry community call episode, this time diving into logging with OpenTelemetry and Grafana Loki!
We are joined by two fantastic guests: Jack Berg, OTel logging expert, and Ed Welch, Loki guru. Their combined expertise ensures an amazing deep dive into all things logging.
Logging spans from simple command line outputs to huge distributed systems producing petabytes of structured data. In this episode, we will cover:

• The OTel story around logging and whether a new approach is really needed
• What structured logs are and why they matter
• How to think about rich identifiers like user_id and how to work with them in Loki
• The future direction of OTel logging and what is needed to support it on backends

Join us for an insightful conversation—and bring your logging questions!

This event will be livestreamed on YouTube and available afterwards here:
