im trying to get this service-map into my tracing pipeline. Anyone got any good idea on how to send the servicemap as traces? Can it be converted somehow? I thought service-maps were supposed to be sent via traces?
The data here doesn't match 1:1 with traces, since they don't represent individual connections or requests, but rather the presence of any connection within a given time period.
See the configuration flags for the Helm chart for enabling this feature: https://docs.otterize.com/reference/network-mapper/helm-chart#opentelemetry-exporter-parameters The default metric value should work out of the box with OpenTelemetry Grafana Tempo.
@orishoshan Ok! Thank you for your reply!
One last question: are the metrics the same format as the ones produced by the ServiceGraphConnector ?
Several different monitoring and observability solutions (like Grafana tempo) can natively visualize maps from timeseries data that follows a specific format.
If network mapper emits a OpenTelemetry timeseries with

edges, the connections inferred from network-mapper can be easily visualized and used in external tools for performance, inventory, and observability use-cases.
