OBI Gives Incident Response the Request Context It Needs

calendar_today April 10, 2026 person domain opentelemetry

When incidents are active, traces usually tell you that something is wrong. The harder problem is figuring out who is affected and why, quickly.

OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) v0.7.0 adds HTTP header enrichment so spans can carry request context like tenant or user segment. That context is often exactly what helps you move from “error rate is up” to “this is isolated to one customer cohort”.

The best part: this is a config change on OBI itself. You do not need to rebuild or redeploy your existing applications.
