Migrating to OpenTelemetry the easy way

Are you challenged by:

  • Complex migration paths that require massive engineering overhead and coordination
  • Top-down OTel mandates with unrealistic timelines that conflict with development priorities
  • Vendor lock-in concerns making it difficult to modernize your observability stack
  • Resource constraints where teams lack capacity for full-scale instrumentation changes

Mezmo makes OpenTelemetry migration practical, allowing you to adopt OTel on timelines that align with your business priorities while reducing costs by 80%.

Mezmo's OTel Pipelines reduce migration complexity by acting as an intelligent pre-processing layer that conforms existing data to OTel specs without requiring full re-instrumentation up front.
"Easy button" OTel migrations
Mezmo sits as an intelligent gateway between your existing telemetry sources and destinations, giving you the power to migrate to OpenTelemetry incrementally while maintaining full observability.
Align OTel migrations with business priorities
Migrate your services as teams have capacity, ensuring you deliver progress on OTel migrations without blowing up other business critical initiatives.
Data conformance
Automatically transform existing telemetry data to compley with OTel semantic conventions and schema requirements.
Leverage existing vendor relationships
Continue using your current observability tools while migrating to OTel. Route standardized OTel data to Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic, or any OTel-compatible destination.

Key capabilities for OTel migration

OTel collection management

Deploy and configure collectors through Mezmo's interface. Save configurations as reusable templates with custom names and descriptions.

Team-by-team migration

Roll out OTel adoption as teams have capacity, allowing SREs to build migration paths that align with existing business needs without sacrificing overall project success.

Reduce migration overhead

Deploy OpenTelemetry collectors that automatically conform existing data to OTel specifications. Transform proprietary agent data into standardized OTel format without touching your applications

Data profiling and optimization

Use Mezmo's existing pipeline features like Data Profiling and Field Summaries to understand and optimize your telemetry data before it reaches destinations, ensuring cost-effective OTel adoption.

Interactive pipeline building

Use live data previews to build and test OTel collector configurations, ensuring transformations work as expected before deployment.

Governance and compliance

Maintain regulatory compliance with built-in data redaction, encryption, and masking capabilities during the migration.

Real results from real teams

50%
Faster deployment

With Mezmo's OTel collector management, we reduced the time to deploy new collectors from days to hours, allowing us to migrate services as development capacity became available.

Zero
Downtime migration

We migrated our entire observability stack to OpenTelemetry without a single service interruption by using Mezmo as a bridge between our legacy agents and OTel destinations.

80%
Reduced migration overhead

Instead of re-instrumenting 200+ services, we used Mezmo to transform our existing telemetry data to OTel format, saving months of development work.
