Solace Observability Examples

This repository contains practical, reproducible observability examples for Solace PubSub+.
The focus is on collecting, securing, and scraping Solace metrics, logs and traces using open source tools like Prometheus, Docker Compose, and proven best practices from real-world DevOps and platform environments.

The examples are intentionally kept simple and hands-on, while providing a clear path towards more advanced setups such as OpenTelemetry and Kubernetes.

🎯 Goals of this repository

• Provide reproducible local examples for Solace observability
• Demonstrate secure metrics exposure (e.g. Basic Auth)
• Offer copy-paste-ready configurations
• Serve as a foundation for blog posts, talks, and community content
• Enable easy extension towards Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry

📦 Available examples

Each example is self-contained and documented in its own directory.
