Lab 3 - Telemetry Trials

You've made it this far. You've learned the basics of building telemetry pipelines and it's time to put your skills to the test with a few more challenges.

📄️ 3.1. Forge your Fame

We’ve reached the final stretch: a series of self-guided missions where you’ll put everything you’ve learned into practice. Each challenge is designed to test your skills, spark some creativity, and maybe even spark a little friendly competition. Ready to begin your first mission?

📄️ 3.2. The Log of Hidden Secrets

The QuickPizza security team has received a report that the inventory-sync service seems to be leaking secrets in its application logs. You've been tasked with updating the log pipeline to stop this exposure.

📄️ 3.3. Signals in the Sauce

A recipe is only as good as its ingredients—and so are your traces. In this lab, you'll extract ingredient names as span attributes for the catalog service. The result? Traces that are flavorful and easy to follow.

📄️ 3.4. Dishing out DB Metrics

Databases are full of hidden signals, and it’s your job to uncover them. In this lab, you’ll configure the Postgres exporter, scrape its metrics, and transform raw data into actionable observability. Consider it telemetry straight from the source.

📄️ 3.5. Cutting Through The Noise

Not every log is important — some are just static. Your mission: filter out the noise from your Kubernetes logs so the real signals shine through. Think of it as giving your observability stack a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.
