ITRS announced the release of Distributed Tracing powered by OpenTelemetry (OTel).
This industry-standard, open-source approach underpins powerful new capabilities within the ITRS Analytics platform, to give enterprise IT teams deep, end-to-end visibility across microservices, APIs, containers, databases, and legacy systems, without locking them into proprietary agents or limited instrumentation.
With Distributed Tracing, ITRS customers can visualize and analyze entire request lifecycles across their technology stacks. Embracing OpenTelemetry enables ITRS customers to unify telemetry across complex hybrid architectures while remaining vendor-agnostic. This results in faster RCA, fewer escalations, and more resilient digital services. ITRS is committed to OpenTelemetry integration, and this offering complements our native telemetry pipeline capability, another key aspect of any OpenTelemetry ecosystem.
Geneos Distributed Tracing offers out-of-the-box support for OpenTelemetry and integrates seamlessly with existing monitoring agents.
Key capabilities include:
- End-to-end visibility into request paths across microservices, databases, APIs, and legacy hosts
- Real-time correlation of trace data with logs, metrics, and alerts
- Smart filtering to surface latency hotspots, service-level failures, and transaction drops
- Automated dependency mapping to contextualize incidents during peak loads or regulatory audits
- A guided tour of Distributed Tracing
By aligning trace insights with Geneos’ advanced alerting and AI-powered analytics, users can proactively detect issues before they escalate and reduce the burden of manual investigation.
This release represents a key milestone in ITRS’ hybrid observability roadmap and further strengthens its AIOps foundation. As organizations modernize infrastructure and adopt distributed architectures, Distributed Tracing equips them to maintain control, ensure compliance, and deliver seamless digital experiences under pressure.
“Distributed architectures unlock innovation—but they also introduce complexity and risk especially for highly regulated enterprises,” said Ryan Terpstra, CEO of ITRS. “With Distributed Tracing powered by OpenTelemetry (OTel), our customers gain the end-to-end visibility they need to diagnose issues faster, improve uptime, and keep critical services running smoothly, no matter how complex their environments become.”

For years, infrastructure teams have treated compute as a relatively stable input. Capacity was provisioned, costs were forecasted, and performance expectations were set based on the assumption that identical resources behaved identically. That mental model is starting to break down. AI infrastructure is no longer behaving like static cloud capacity. It is increasingly behaving like a market ...
Resilience can no longer be defined by how quickly an organization recovers from an incident or disruption. The effectiveness of any resilience strategy is dependent on its ability to anticipate change, operate under continuous stress, and adapt confidently amid uncertainty ...
Mobile users are less tolerant of app instability than ever before. According to a new report from Luciq, No Margin for Error: What Mobile Users Expect and What Mobile Leaders Must Deliver in 2026, even minor performance issues now result in immediate abandonment, lost purchases, and long-term brand impact ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the dominant force shaping enterprise data strategies. Boards expect progress. Executives expect returns. And data leaders are under pressure to prove that their organizations are "AI-ready" ...
Agentic AI is a major buzzword for 2026. Many tech companies are making bold promises about this technology, but many aren't grounded in reality, at least not yet. This coming year will likely be shaped by reality checks for IT teams, and progress will only come from a focus on strong foundations and disciplined execution ...
AI systems are still prone to hallucinations and misjudgments ... To build the trust needed for adoption, AI must be paired with human-in-the-loop (HITL) oversight, or checkpoints where humans verify, guide, and decide what actions are taken. The balance between autonomy and accountability is what will allow AI to deliver on its promise without sacrificing human trust ...

Enterprise IT has become increasingly complex and fragmented. Organizations are juggling dozens — sometimes hundreds — of different tools for endpoint management, security, app delivery, and employee experience. Each one needs its own license, its own maintenance, and its own integration. The result is a patchwork of overlapping tools, data stuck in silos, security vulnerabilities, and IT teams are spending more time managing software than actually getting work done ...
