PROFILE
Michael Burt
During a three-month period, Michael Burt developed and enhanced observability features for the amazon-contributing/opentelemetry-collector-contrib repository. He implemented Splunk Enterprise dispatch-artifacts metrics by integrating with Splunk’s API, exposing detailed artifact state data for improved monitoring. Michael expanded metrics coverage to include artifact cache size and job status counts, updating metric descriptions for version awareness. He also delivered a TLS Check Receiver with parallelized endpoint validation and support for local PEM-based certificate checks, advancing it to alpha stability. His work leveraged Go, OpenTelemetry, and configuration management, resulting in deeper operational insight and more robust, test-driven monitoring capabilities for distributed systems.

Nov 1, 2024Month: 2024-11 — Focused on expanding observability for Splunk Enterprise integration in the amazon-contributing/opentelemetry-collector-contrib repository. Key features delivered include Observability Enhancements: Metrics for Splunk Enterprise search artifact cache, featuring new metrics to monitor the size and count of cached job statuses, and updates to existing metrics descriptions to include version compatibility information. Major bugs fixed: None reported in this scope for the period. Overall impact: improved observability and reliability for Splunk Enterprise users through enhanced visibility into artifact cache behavior, enabling proactive performance tuning and issue detection. Technologies/skills demonstrated: metrics instrumentation and observability design, telemetry naming and documentation, version-aware metric descriptions, and collaborative open-source development with a focus on business value.

Oct 1, 2024Month: 2024-10 Key features delivered: - Implemented Splunk Enterprise dispatch-artifacts metrics for amazon-contributing/opentelemetry-collector-contrib. The feature exposes metrics for dispatch artifact states (ad hoc, scheduled, completed, incomplete, invalid) by integrating with the /services/server/status/dispatch-artifacts API. - Added comprehensive unit tests to validate the new metrics collection and ensure regression protection. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs fixed in this scope; the month focused on feature delivery and test coverage to improve reliability. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improves observability and operational insight into Splunk artifact dispatch processes, enabling better SLA monitoring, faster issue detection, and reduced MTTR. - Strengthens the reliability of the Splunk receiver by adding tested instrumentation and a clear artifact-state model, aligning with OpenTelemetry Collector observability goals. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Go (receiver development), metrics instrumentation, and API integration within the OpenTelemetry Collector framework. - Unit testing and test-driven quality improvements. - Splunk telemetry integration and end-to-end visibility enhancements.
