With the Checkly OpenTelemetry (OTel) integration, you can find out why your business critical checks are failing and resolve
16-
issues 10x faster than before. This works as follows:

The Checkly OpenTelemetry (OTel) integration allows you to correlate synthetic monitoring checks with traces from your backend services. This integration is especially useful for two types of users:

1. All HTTP requests made by your checks are automatically instrumented with W3C `traceparent` and
19-
`tracestate` headers.

2. **Ingest traces into Checkly from your OTel setup** and display them in the Checkly UI, allowing you to correlate check results with traces.
21-
3. **Send every check run to your 3rd party OTel backend as a span**, enabling you to correlate check runs
22-
and their metadata like check run location, check name etc. with other telemetry data.
20+
- **Resolve issues quicker:** Resolve failing synthetic checks much quicker by correlating failing checks with backend & infrastructure traces. No more flipping between various 3rd party observability (o11y) systems.
21+
- **Increase signal vs. noise:** Cut through the sea of o11y and focus on the data that correlates to critical and known business processes as exercised by synthetic monitoring checks.
22+
- **Save money:** Send traces directly to Checkly, without signing up for another product or hosting an OTel solution yourself.
