Learn how to get the most from your distributed traces.
This post explains how to send OpenTelemetry traces to a TailCtrl agent. We aim to make the process as smooth as possible - it can be broken down into three steps.
1. Deploy a TailCtrl agent
2. Instrument a service with OpenTelemetry
3. Configure the instrumentation's trace span exporter

Grafana Cloud is a fully managed cloud-hosted observability platform ideal for cloud native environments. It's a tightly integrated stack for metrics, logs, and distributed traces. While anyone can download Grafana's open source software and run it, it can be a challenge to setup and maintain the whole stack. Self-hosting becomes even less attractive when you consider Grafana Cloud's wonderful "Free Forever" plan with generous usage limits, such as 50GB for traces with 14-day retention!
Make the most of that free 50GB with TailCtrl – only traces of interest will be sent to Grafana Cloud!
