Introduction

Telemachus is a system that records metrics such as server FPS, take-offs, landings etc. from DCS, via DCS-gRPC, and converts them to OpenTelemetry metrics which can then be stored and visualised. OpenTelemetry is becoming a software industry standard way of processing metrics, logs and traces.

The below graph is an example of the kind of things that Telemachus enables along with other programs and services in the OpenTelemetry ecosystem.

Technical Skill Level & Support

The OpenTelemetry system can be daunting to non-technologically savvy users as it is designed for System Admins, Software Developers and the like and the documentation is aimed at this audience.

Due to this and the lack of time to the developer has to support Telemachus; it is expected that readers are technologically savvy and able to explore and learn new systems by themselves. If you run a server and do not feel confident then talk to a techy member of your community.

RurouniJones (The developer) will not be providing support for this. Feel free to ask questions in the Discord and maybe the community can help but do not message him directly.

Example Setup

See Example Setup for a basic setup guide which will get you from DCS to an example graph like above.
