Embark on a journey with us at FOSDEM 2024 as we delve into the profound impact of a common schema in observability. Drawing from our firsthand experience as part of the collaborative efforts between ECS and OpenTelemetry projects, we'll unveil the challenges, triumphs, and the incredible community spirit driving this convergence. Together, let's explore how this unified schema is reshaping the landscape of logs, metrics, traces, and security events, and why community involvement is at the heart of this transformation.
