This blog post breaks down common myths about observability in traditional environments (whether IT, OT, or industrial systems) and explains how OpenTelemetry can help overcome typical challenges. With practical examples and configuration tips, it shows that modern observability is achievable even for legacy and sensor-driven systems.

Outline:

1. Introduction
2. Typical challenges for Traditional Environments
3. Most common myths:

• Our systems just generate a bunch of useless logs – there’s no way observability can be done here.
• Our IoT devices send tons of telemetry via MQTT, so integrating with OpenTelemetry isn’t possible.
• Implementing observability will slow down our systems and add complexity.
• (Bonus) OpenTelemetry is open-source, so it’s not stable or production-ready.

4. Summary and call to action

@danielgblanco (SIG End User) is going to review it when it is out of draft. Thanks!

@luke6Lh43 for the future I recommend that you raise the PR when you have some content and not create stub PRs just for having them. Thanks!
