Grafana dashboard: Spring Boot Observability
Description: Observe Spring Boot application with three pillars of observability: Traces (Tempo), Metrics (Prometheus), Logs (Loki) on Grafana through OpenTelemetry and OpenMetrics.

Observe the Spring Boot application with three pillars of observability on Grafana:

1. Traces with [Tempo](https://github.com/grafana/tempo) and [OpenTelemetry Instrumentation for Java](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation)
2. Metrics with [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/), [Spring Boot Actuator](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/actuator-api/htmlsingle/), and [Micrometer](https://micrometer.io/)
3. Logs with [Loki](https://github.com/grafana/loki) and [Logback](https://logback.qos.ch/)

Check more details on the GitHub repository: [Spring Boot with Observability](https://github.com/blueswen/spring-boot-observability).

There is also a FastAPI version: [FastAPI with Observability](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/16110-fastapi-observability/).
