FAQPage Schema
How do I view OpenTelemetry traces and logs locally during development?

Setting up local observability requires only Node.js and minimal configuration. You run the dashboard locally to start receiving OpenTelemetry data from your app without needing external services or complex infrastructure.

Can I use a local dashboard for performance tuning without external services?

Yes, the dashboard works with OpenTelemetry SDKs or as a standalone OTLP receiver. It provides a self-contained UI that can be embedded as a browser widget or run standalone for immediate observability insights.

What is the best way to troubleshoot latency issues in a Node.js app?

The best approach is to run a local observability dashboard that captures and displays live traces, logs, and metrics from your Node.js app. This lets you quickly identify and troubleshoot latency bottlenecks during development.

Does local observability require complex setup or external dependencies?

Local observability requires only Node.js and minimal setup, with no external services needed. The dashboard runs as a standalone OTLP receiver or integrates with OpenTelemetry SDKs to stream telemetry data directly to a local web UI.
