AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS – 30/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – A new collaboration between Tintri and Integration Plumbers is set to reshape how enterprise IT teams approach infrastructure visibility, introducing an open-source integration that connects storage intelligence directly into modern observability ecosystems. The initiative reflects a broader industry shift toward unified telemetry pipelines, enabling organizations to eliminate long-standing blind spots between storage systems and application monitoring.
The integration links Tintri’s VMstore platform with widely adopted observability tools through an OpenTelemetry-native framework. By doing so, it enables enterprises to consolidate storage, application, and infrastructure insights into a single operational view—without requiring additional proprietary software or licensing investments.
Addressing Fragmentation in Enterprise Monitoring
In increasingly complex, cloud-native environments, IT teams often struggle with fragmented monitoring systems that isolate storage metrics from application and infrastructure data. This separation complicates incident response, as engineers must navigate multiple dashboards and manually correlate data to identify root causes.
Such inefficiencies not only delay resolution times but also increase operational overhead. Organizations frequently face redundant alerting systems, duplicated workflows, and the administrative burden of maintaining multiple monitoring platforms.
A Unified Telemetry Approach
The newly introduced integration addresses these challenges by creating a centralized telemetry pipeline built on OpenTelemetry standards. Tintri’s granular, workload-level storage metrics are seamlessly fed into existing observability stacks, allowing teams to analyze performance data within their preferred monitoring environments.
Unlike traditional storage systems that rely on volume-level metrics, Tintri’s VMstore architecture captures data at the level of individual virtual machines and containerized applications. This detailed, context-rich telemetry enhances visibility and enables faster, more precise troubleshooting.
The integration supports compatibility with leading observability platforms such as Grafana, Datadog, Dynatrace, Prometheus, and other OpenTelemetry-enabled tools, ensuring flexibility for enterprise deployments.
Operational and Business Benefits
The partnership delivers several immediate advantages for enterprise IT operations:
- Accelerated Incident Resolution: Unified dashboards provide correlated insights across storage, applications, and infrastructure, significantly reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR).
- No Additional Costs: Organizations can leverage existing monitoring tools without investing in separate storage-specific solutions.
- Vendor Neutrality: Built on open standards, the integration allows seamless transitions between monitoring platforms without architectural disruption.
- Future-Proof Design: As part of the OpenTelemetry ecosystem, the solution is positioned to evolve alongside industry standards and community-driven innovation.
Engineered for Open Standards
From a technical perspective, the integration is implemented as an OpenTelemetry Collector component. It retrieves metrics from Tintri VMstore systems and the Tintri Global Center via REST APIs, mapping them to standardized OpenTelemetry semantic conventions.
This approach enables native correlation with Kubernetes environments and application telemetry. Data can be routed to any OTLP-compatible backend—including Prometheus, ClickHouse, Datadog, and Dynatrace—without requiring changes to the integration itself.
The project will be contributed to the OpenTelemetry community, underscoring a commitment to open-source collaboration and long-term maintainability.
Upcoming Technical Demonstration
Tintri and Integration Plumbers will host a 60-minute technical session, including a live demonstration of OpenTelemetry-based storage observability, on April 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET.
