Data Sources
The APM module uses several data sources to build dashboards, models, and reference.
The main data providers are:
- application microservices sending traces in OpenTelemetry format
Data Prepperservice establishing relationships between services
Source List
| Name | Source Type | Data Provider | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
otel-v1-apm-span | Index | Microservices | Events | Raw traces (spans) in OpenTelemetry format |
otel-v1-apm-service-map | Index | Data Prepper | Relationships | Service dependencies extracted from traces |
apm_service_asset | Index | Scheduled task | Reference | Service catalog |
apm_resource_asset | Index | Scheduled task | Reference | Resource catalog associated with services |
dim_apm_service | Reference | Scheduled task | Reference | Service reference displayed in the interface |
link_apm_source_service_dest_service | Reference | Scheduled task | Reference | Relationship reference between sources and destinations (source → destination) |
Notes
otel-*indexes are automatically generated during system operation- reference data is updated on schedule via the module's internal tasks
- the data is displayed in dashboards, ASM, and asset inventory
