Observability is often missing or inconsistent in Elixir/BEAM applications. This skill provides a comprehensive setup for telemetry, metrics, tracing, health checks, and error tracking to give you visibility into application health and performance.
Configure Telemetry events, integrate PromEx metrics, and enable OpenTelemetry tracing to begin collecting observability data from your Elixir app.

To set up observability in Elixir Phoenix, configure Telemetry events, integrate PromEx for metrics collection, and enable OpenTelemetry tracing. This establishes comprehensive visibility into application health, performance, and distributed request flows from development to production.
The best way to collect metrics for BEAM applications is using PromEx to gather Telemetry events and expose them for Prometheus dashboards. This approach provides structured metrics collection, enabling you to monitor reliability and performance effectively.
Yes, you can use OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing in Elixir services. Implementing OpenTelemetry allows you to instrument Phoenix endpoints and database queries, tracing performance and reliability across distributed application components.
You need health checks and error tracking for Elixir apps in production to maintain visibility into application health. Configuring health endpoints and performance monitoring ensures you can detect failures, alert on issues, and measure reliability continuously.
Your Elixir application lacks visibility because observability is often missing or inconsistent without structured setup. By implementing Telemetry event handling, PromEx metrics, and OpenTelemetry tracing, you gain measurable app health and performance insights.
