Tintri and Integration Plumbers Unveil OpenTelemetry-Based Integration to Unify Storage and Observability

(SeaPRwire) –   AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS – 30/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – A new partnership between Tintri and Integration Plumbers is poised to transform the way enterprise IT teams manage infrastructure visibility. The collaboration introduces an open-source integration that feeds storage intelligence directly into contemporary observability ecosystems. This move aligns with a wider industry trend towards unified telemetry pipelines, helping organizations remove persistent blind spots that exist between storage systems and application monitoring.

This new solution connects Tintri’s VMstore platform with popular observability tools using an OpenTelemetry-native framework. It allows businesses to bring together storage, application, and infrastructure data into one unified operational view, all without the need for extra proprietary software or new licensing fees.

Addressing Fragmentation in Enterprise Monitoring

Within today’s increasingly complex, cloud-native settings, IT teams frequently deal with disconnected monitoring systems that keep storage metrics separate from application and infrastructure information. This division makes incident response more difficult, forcing engineers to switch between multiple dashboards and manually piece together data to find the root cause of issues.

These inefficiencies lead to longer resolution times and higher operational costs. Companies often contend with overlapping alert systems, repetitive workflows, and the administrative load of supporting several different monitoring platforms.

A Unified Telemetry Approach

The newly launched integration tackles these problems by establishing a centralized telemetry pipeline based on OpenTelemetry standards. Tintri’s detailed, workload-level storage metrics are effortlessly integrated into current observability stacks, enabling teams to review performance data within their chosen monitoring tools.

In contrast to conventional storage systems that use volume-level metrics, Tintri’s VMstore architecture gathers data from individual virtual machines and containerized applications. This high-resolution, context-rich telemetry improves visibility and allows for quicker, more accurate troubleshooting.

The integration works with major observability platforms like Grafana, Datadog, Dynatrace, Prometheus, and other OpenTelemetry-compatible tools, providing deployment flexibility for enterprises.

Operational and Business Benefits

The partnership offers a number of key benefits for enterprise IT operations:

• Accelerated Incident Resolution: Consolidated dashboards offer correlated insights across storage, applications, and infrastructure, greatly lowering the mean time to resolution (MTTR).
• No Additional Costs: Companies can use their current monitoring tools without purchasing separate storage-specific products.
• Vendor Neutrality: Based on open standards, the integration permits smooth transitions between monitoring platforms without causing architectural issues.
• Future-Proof Design: As a component of the OpenTelemetry ecosystem, the solution is designed to advance with industry standards and community-led innovation.

Engineered for Open Standards

Technically, the integration is built as an OpenTelemetry Collector component. It gathers metrics from Tintri VMstore systems and the Tintri Global Center using REST APIs, converting them to standardized OpenTelemetry semantic conventions.

This method allows for native correlation with Kubernetes environments and application telemetry. Information can be sent to any OTLP-compatible backend—such as Prometheus, ClickHouse, Datadog, and Dynatrace—without needing to modify the integration.

The project will be contributed to the OpenTelemetry community, highlighting a dedication to open-source cooperation and long-term sustainability.

Upcoming Technical Demonstration

Tintri and Integration Plumbers will present a 60-minute technical session, featuring a live demo of OpenTelemetry-based storage observability, on April 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET.
