Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We are increasingly adopting OpenTelemetry (OTel) across our stack and would like to see Kasm support this. Our aspiration would be to start defining Service Level Objectives (SLOs) along the lines of "98% of Kasm workspaces are successfully launched within 15 seconds" and have ways of tracking our adherence to such SLOs. We believe that Kasm adopting OTel will help get us closer to a better operating position.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Kasm services enhanced to emit OTel-compatible information.
- Documentation updates to describe how to integrate with Jaeger/Zipkin/Honeycomb or other tools in the OTel ecosystem.
Describe alternatives you've considered
https://www.kasmweb.com/docs/latest/guide/settings.html#logging seems to be the only offering at the moment. Supporting Prometheus scraping of metrics would also be an improvement but I have not yet found a way of doing that with any of the Kasm services. Kasm does not seem to expose any OpenMetrics endpoints?
