One of the interesting things an agent can do that no individual telemetry tool does effectively is make deductions and integrate information across data sources. It's a big open challenge for us here; in any given incident, we're looking at Honeycomb traces, OpenSearch for system logs, and Prometheus metrics in a VictoriaMetrics cluster. Given tool calls for each of these data sources, an agent can generate useful integrated hypotheses without any direct integration between the data sources. That's pretty remarkable.

Have you had a chance to play with VictoriaLogs? If not, then I highly recommend to test it. Our team is also working on implementing traces in top of Jaeger and VictoriaLogs, see https://victoriametrics.com/blog/dev-note-distributed-tracin...
