OAP replaces the old SkyWalking collectors. The capabilities of the platform are following. +## OAP capabilities +<img src="https://skywalkingtest.github.io/page-resources/6_overview.png"/> +In SkyWalking 6 series, OAP accepts data from more sources, which belongs two groups: **Tracing** and **Metric**. + +- **Tracing**. Including, SkyWalking native data formats. Zipkin v1,v2 data formats and Jaeger data formats. +- **Metric**. SkyWalking integrates with Service Mesh platforms, such as Istio, Envoy, Linkerd, to provide observability from data panel +or control panel. Also, SkyWalking native agents can run in metric mode, which highly improve the +performance. + +At the same time by using any integration solution provided, such as SkyWalking log plugin or toolkits, +SkyWalking provides visualization integration for binding tracing and logging together by using the +trace id and span id. + +As usual, all services provided by gRPC and HTTP protocol to make integration easier for unsupported ecosystem. + +## Tracing in OAP +Tracing in OAP has two ways to process. +1. Traditional way in SkyWalking 5 series. Format tracing data in SkyWalking trace segment and span formats, +even for Zipkin data format. The AOP analysis the segments to get metrics, and push the metric data into +the streaming aggregation. +1. Consider tracing as some kinds of logging only. Just provide save and visualization capabilities for trace. + +## Metric in OAP +Metric in OAP is totally new feature in 6 series. Build observability for a distributed system based on metric of connected nodes. +No tracing data is required. ## Observability Analysis Language Provide OAL(Observability Analysis Language) to analysis incoming data in streaming mode.
