OllyGarden
Telemetry quality, scored and improved
We use OllyGarden Insights to put a concrete number on telemetry quality, Rose to fix what it surfaces, and Tulip as the Collector underneath. Often delivered as a one-off Telemetry Report first.
What we deliver with OllyGarden
OllyGarden is built by OpenTelemetry experts. Their products give us a measured, opinionated way to assess and improve telemetry quality, which we use as a baseline in observability engagements and as a recurring deliverable for clients who want telemetry kept visible.
A standalone assessment delivered as a report. Common entry point: see exactly what your telemetry is and is not telling you, before deciding what to fix or whether to invest further.
OllyGarden Insights gives a concrete score against each of your services. Honest, comparable baseline before any improvement work starts.
Beyond the one-off report: ongoing assessment so telemetry quality stays visible after the initial fix and decay is caught early rather than in the next incident.
Once Insights surfaces what is missing or wrong, Rose helps fix it. An AI agent purpose-built for OpenTelemetry instrumentation work, which we can deploy as part of an engagement.
OllyGarden Tulip is their OpenTelemetry Collector distribution. We can set it up as the telemetry pipeline so the rest of the stack stays on the open standard.
Through our standing arrangement, we can stand up an OllyGarden environment against your services for an evaluation period, bumped to Enterprise tier for the duration.
Why OllyGarden is in our toolkit
Most observability problems are not about the dashboard you see; they are about the telemetry that does not reach it. OllyGarden Insights lets us put a number on that, Rose helps us fix what the number reveals, and Tulip keeps the pipeline on the open standard.
Telemetry Report as a low-commitment first step
A one-off assessment is a small, defined piece of work. Useful for a finance conversation that needs evidence before a larger engagement is approved.
Objective baseline before any change
OllyGarden Insights gives a score against the current stack. We change things, run the assessment again, and show the score moving. Useful evidence for the next budget conversation.
Built on OpenTelemetry throughout
Insights, Rose, and Tulip are all OpenTelemetry-native. Our work with them keeps you aligned with the open standard rather than locked into a proprietary measurement vocabulary.
Ongoing visibility after handover
Once your team is set up with the assessment cadence, telemetry quality stays visible after we step back. The score does not regress quietly between engagements.
Want a telemetry baseline?
Thirty minutes on a call. We can scope a Telemetry Report against your stack, so you see exactly what your telemetry is and is not telling you before committing to more work.
