In an era where business runs on data, the ability to orchestrate seamless, secure interactions across applications and APIs is critical. You need to connect more systems and move more data than ever. But you also need to monitor all that activity to make sure everything is flowing as it should. And at enterprise scale, simple status checks are no longer enough to ensure peak performance. When a critical process lags or an integration fails, you don’t just need to know that it happened, you need to know why, where, and how to prevent it from happening.
To stay ahead of these challenges, organizations are moving beyond traditional reactive monitoring toward true observability. This shift requires a standardized approach to telemetry that provides deep, actionable insights across every layer of your technology stack. We are thrilled to launch native OpenTelemetry support for Boomi Enterprise Platform integrations and APIs. Now, Boomi runtimes can easily plug into your existing monitoring applications, providing real-time enterprise-grade metrics, logs, and traces for your integrations.
The Challenge: Visibility at Scale
As you move from managing dozens of integrations to thousands, “monitoring by UI” simply doesn’t scale. To maintain peak operational health, integration administrators need a unified view of performance, utilization trends, and anomaly detection.
You need the ability to see Boomi telemetry alongside the rest of your enterprise stack, in the tools your operations teams already use every day.
What Is OpenTelemetry?
OpenTelemetry (OTel) has emerged as the industry standard for observability, providing a unified framework for collecting and transmitting telemetry data. By implementing native OTel support, Boomi allows you to seamlessly “plug and play” with leading observability platforms like Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, and AppDynamics.
Unlike generic logging, Boomi’s native implementation provides rich, context-aware metadata. This means your traces aren’t just random strings of data, they are meaningful insights tied directly to your Boomi processes, allowing for better correlation, smarter alerting, and faster troubleshooting.
Native Support, Zero Friction
Just like observability shouldn’t impact what’s being measured, we want to make it easy and non-invasive to adopt observability for your integrations. That’s why our OTel support is built directly into the Boomi runtime.
- No Agents Required: There are no third-party packages or heavy agents to install on your servers.
- Flexible Architecture: Stream data directly to your monitoring tool or route it through an OTel Collector for advanced sampling and custom filtering.
- Full-Stack Context: Go beyond simple “up/down” checks to understand the granular health of your APIs and integration lifecycles.
Implementation: Configuration in Minutes
Setting up observability in Boomi is easy. Within the runtime configuration, you simply provide your endpoint details and select the telemetry data you wish to capture:
- Metrics: Real-time measurable statistics to track runtime health and resource utilization.
- Logs: Deep activity streams for integration processes to audit and verify performance.
- Traces: Step-by-step execution details that pinpoint exactly where bottlenecks occur.
Once enabled, the runtime begins streaming telemetry data immediately. You can then leverage your favorite visualization tools, like Grafana, to build custom dashboards that highlight the metrics most critical to your business.
Connect Everything, See Everything
Connectivity is the foundation, but visibility is the fuel for growth. By bringing native OpenTelemetry support to the Boomi platform, we’re ensuring your integration ecosystem is as transparent as it is powerful. Move beyond reactive troubleshooting and embrace a future of proactive, data-driven optimization.
