Receive data form otle

[Roc-00]

Hi, I am a student participate in ‘summer of code’,this is my first time.This is my first contact with skywalking.I am trying to use skywalking to collect the data from open telemetry. And I had read this:

What about the data of trace?
And I want to know are there any documents about starting sky walking in IDEA？

Hi, as a Summer of Code student, you should have a mentor right? Who is he/she?

What about the data of trace?

We just accept data from Zipkin, which is not analyzable, we only receive, save, and provide query.

sky walking not only visualizes the data

This is not a correct conclusion. Visualizing trace is working. The missing part is analysis, meaning, metrics/topology can't be generated.

[Roc-00]

You mean that the data can only be visualized after analysis?

[wu-sheng]

No, APM includes trace visualization. be visualized after analysis is not the correct call.

This is not a correct conclusion. Visualizing trace is working. The missing part is analysis, meaning, metrics/topology can't be generated.

This means that if skywalking receives the trace data of otle, it can only realize visualization, not analysis ,not metrics/topology,right?

[wu-sheng]

Yes.
