Canonical Observability Stack Tryout | Cloud Robotics WG Meeting 2026-02-25
The COS team has extended its general telemetry platform to support robot-specific use cases like drones and IoT.
The Cloud Robotics Working Group (CRWG) within the ROS community is hosting a hands-on session to deploy the Canonical Observability Stack (COS) on February 25, 2026. This follows a prior meeting where Canonical's Guillaume Beuzeboc presented COS as a general observability stack for devices. The platform ingests telemetry data, and its team has now extended it to address robotics-specific monitoring needs. The upcoming session is a practical tryout based on official tutorials, rescheduled from February 11. It represents a significant integration of enterprise-grade observability tools from Canonical into the robotics development workflow, offering a centralized solution for monitoring fleets of drones, robots, and IoT devices.
- Canonical's COS platform, originally for general device telemetry, now supports robot-specific observability use cases.
- The Cloud Robotics WG will run a live deployment demo on Feb 25, 2026, using official tutorials.
- This integration provides a centralized monitoring stack for robotics developers managing drones, IoT, and other autonomous systems.
Why It Matters
Provides robotics engineers with an enterprise-grade, unified stack for monitoring complex fleets of autonomous devices, simplifying DevOps.
