Follow the Full Journey of Every Event

Keymate integrates OpenTelemetry traces into every step of your event pipeline—from external system ingestion, through transformation and policy evaluation, to delivery and auditing. You gain observability, debuggability, and SLA insights across the full lifecycle.

From Producer to Policy Enforcement—Trace Every Event Across Your IAM Landscape

Complete Visibility from Source to Sink

Whether events originate from HRMS, CRM, or internal apps, Keymate ensures that each one is: Traced with a unique, consistent trace ID. Enriched with session, tenant, and resource context. Logged with spans across transformation, validation, routing. Tagged for filtering by topic, format, consumer, or service. Exported to OpenTelemetry Collector. Visualized in SigNoz as part of the unified observability layer. End-to-end tracing not only accelerates debugging but also helps you detect hidden bottlenecks, latency sources, and data loss issues.

End-to-End Event Pipeline Tracing with OpenTelemetry

Comprehensive event pipeline tracing with OpenTelemetry integration for full observability from producer to consumer across all IAM event flows.

Example: Trace every event across your IAM landscape

Key Components:

Distributed Tracing
Kafka Metadata Integration
Transformation Spans
Policy Evaluation Traces
OpenTelemetry Export

What Makes It Unique

Distributed Tracing for Event Flows

Every event gets a trace ID shared across all microservices

Kafka Metadata Integration

Each span includes topic, partition, offset for message inspection

Transformation-Aware Spans

Logs include info for parse, enrich, validate, normalize stages

Policy Evaluation Traces

Authorization spans show policy matched, risk score, and outcome

Auto-Correlation with Session & Tenant

Spans carry user, org, session, and delegated role metadata

Integrated with OpenTelemetry Collector

Trace data is collected and exported without vendor lock-in

SigNoz Visualization

Trace waterfalls, service map, latency histograms, error views

Real-Time Alerts for Trace Failures

Detect transformation loops, dead letters, or slow consumers fast

Frequently Asked Questions

All event-related components: producer adapters, transformation services, policy evaluators, and publishers.
Yes—topic, partition, offset, and consumer group are all tagged.
Absolutely. All spans are tagged with tenant ID, service name, and topic name.
To your configured OpenTelemetry Collector, which can forward to SigNoz, Jaeger, Elastic APM, etc.
Yes. Slow spans, repeated errors, or pipeline blockages can generate real-time alerts.

How to Use This Feature

Follow these steps to enable comprehensive event pipeline tracing.

Implementation Steps

1

Enable tracing in Admin Console for event pipeline modules

2

Deploy and configure OpenTelemetry Collector (preconfigured Helm chart available)

3

Connect to your observability backend (SigNoz, Jaeger, etc.)

4

Define trace sampling rules (100% for critical flows, sampled for high-volume)

5

Use SigNoz to explore trace waterfalls and latency bottlenecks

6

Set alerts on transformation errors or slow spans in pipeline
