Enterprise OpenTelemetry, Managed

Drop-in compatibility with the OTEL spec, enhanced with CloudNexus scaling, security, and multi-tenant architecture.

🧩

Auto-Instrumentation

Zero-code setup for 20+ languages and frameworks. Java, Python, Node.js, Go, .NET, and Ruby supported out of the box.

🔗

Unified Data Model

Correlate traces, metrics, and logs automatically. Jump from a slow span directly to the related log lines and CPU metrics.

🌐

Distributed Tracing

Full W3C TraceContext & Baggage propagation. End-to-end visibility across microservices, serverless, and third-party APIs.

⚙️

Custom Pipelines

Configure processors, samplers, and exporters via standard OTEL config. Batch, filter, enrich, and route telemetry data.

🔒

Secure Ingestion

mTLS enforcement, RBAC policies, and encrypted data-at-rest. VPC peering and private endpoints available for SOC2/ISO environments.

📊

Intelligent Retention

Hot/warm/cold storage tiers. Keep recent telemetry in-memory for fast queries, archive older data cost-effectively.

Designed for Scale & Reliability

Our managed collector fleet operates in active-active mode across all 50+ regions. Data is ingested via OTLP/HTTP and OTLP/gRPC with automatic failover and retry logic.

  • Native OTLP endpoint with automatic TLS negotiation
  • Adaptive sampling based on service health & error rates
  • Horizontal pod autoscaling for collector pods
  • Cross-region replication for disaster recovery
  • Seamless integration with Prometheus, Grafana, & Jaeger

Technical Questions

Is this compatible with existing OpenTelemetry SDKs?

Yes. CloudNexus OTel Collector is fully compliant with the OpenTelemetry specification (v1.22+). You can use any official OTEL SDK (Java, Python, Go, Node.js, .NET, etc.) and simply point your `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` to our ingestion URL.

How does adaptive sampling work?

Our collector analyzes real-time traffic patterns and error rates. It dynamically adjusts sampling rates per service, ensuring critical traces and error paths are always captured while reducing noise and costs during steady-state traffic.

Can I export telemetry to my existing Grafana stack?

Absolutely. We support bidirectional export via OTLP and Prometheus Remotewrite. You can configure CloudNexus as a forwarder to your on-prem Grafana, or use our native dashboarding with a built-in Grafana plugin.

What security certifications do you hold?

CloudNexus infrastructure is SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 compliant, and GDPR ready. We support mTLS for all collector endpoints, field-level encryption for sensitive attributes, and provide audit logs for all platform actions.
