Somewhat opinionated assets for Observability Diagramming.

• Provide a set of ready to go Icons for various Observability Concepts
• Help create better diagraming for the Observability Ecosystem
• Adopt diagraming standards with the help of community review when they provide a clear value add.
• Use existing concepts / iconology where it is allowed
• If a concept does not yet exist create an icon for it

• Dictate how to diagram / what icons to use
• Try to Adhere to every diagramming standard / approach, without subject matter experts / community support. If I don't understand a diagraming standard I won't phone it in.
• Play one up-manship against current diagrams used to demonstrate Observability concepts. I use them as inspiration for my examples, but am certainly not saying my way is right!
• Be a SIG (Special Interest Group)
• Be biased towards a vendor

• Below are a few representations of the Data Flow of the Otel Demo App. https://opentelemetry.io/docs/demo/collector-data-flow-dashboard/#data-flow-overview
• All representations, I feel, accurately represent the state of what's going on with the Otel Demo App
• However the diagrams are quite different in the way they represent the information
• There are many other ways to represent this information. Hence why I don't want to dictate adherence to models but rather focus on providing raw assets that people can use as they want.

• This medium article covers a lot of the decisions made with these icons.
• #TODO write the article

• Most of these Icon Sets were created and are distributed as Excalidraw Assets.
• Excalidraw provides very useful tools to export a component of library to SVG or PNG but with 81+ assets that's becoming impratical to maintain.
• I Provide the Excalidraw assets I used to create the icons and in future will think about CI/CD automation to package these in different ways
• I might convert these to pure SVG representations further down the track if there is interest.

• Upload to Excalidraw Library Database
• Convert to SVG Icons
• Add SLI / SLO Icon Set
• Add Path to convert to Visio Stencils for Example
• Add further diagrams about 3rd party integrations (e.g. AWS X-Ray)
• Concept - Log Bridge API https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/logs/bridge-api/
• Concept - Connectors: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/main/connector/README.md

• Concept - Resource Discovery

• Example - djaglowski for Collector Architecture with SDK components

• [@devrimdemiroz] Devrim Demiroz for initial inspiration and continued support
• [@djaglowski] For his excellent Kubecon 2023 Presentation
• [@open-telemetry] OpenTelemetry for providing seed icons via their opentelemetry.io repo: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/tree/main/iconography
• sachamaps for inspiration for highly seperated colors: https://sashamaps.net/docs/resources/20-colors/
• [@yurishkuro] Yuri Shkuro for his TEMPLE model https://medium.com/@YuriShkuro/temple-six-pillars-of-observability-4ac3e3deb402
