Some notes on Grafana Loki's new "structured metadata" (utoronto.ca)
Grafana Loki somewhat bills itself as "Prometheus for logs", and so it's unsurprising that it started with a data model much like Prometheus.

I got OpenTelemetry to work. But why was it so complicated? (iconsolutions.com)
A number of our customers have recently been asking whether we support OpenTelemetry, the observability framework and toolkit. When the first member of the team who’s client-facing asked me – the go-to guy for metrics and logging at IPF – I barely let them finish: “of course! That’s just Prometheus and Jaeger, right? We’ve supported that for years!”
