Loved that the blog also details how to do queries in prometheus. You may want to capture a few screenshots from TUI / Victoriatrace etc that helps readers that dont have time to try hands-on but want to see what it would look like "for real".

Thanks @davsclaus — latest push e9051a9 addresses the review items:

Part 1: TUI Spans screenshot added, publication date 2026-08-30, draft: false, Camel CLI terminology, example links to camel-jbang-examples PR #73, camel export hint, camel infra run observability alternative, property placeholder fix in the Java route
Part 2: example links to camel-spring-boot-examples PR #191, Java route in the blog (YAML optional in repo), camel infra run observability as Option A, camel.aiObservability.enabled corrected, comparison table uses CLI/TUI
JIRA for CLI dependency auto-discovery: draft ready — will file and link once created

Replied inline on each review thread. Happy to add VictoriaTraces/Perses screenshots in a follow-up if useful.

Re @davsclaus screenshot suggestion: Part 1 now includes a TUI Spans screenshot (e9051a9). VictoriaTraces/Perses screenshots could be a nice follow-up for Part 2 — happy to add if useful.

@davsclaus Please check this ticket for Auto-discovery
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-24566

atiaomar1978-hub · 2026-08-30T16:38:17Z

Updated the publication date to 1 September 2026 (commit 168521a).

Changes:

Both posts now use date: 2026-09-01
Moved from content/blog/2026/08/ to content/blog/2026/09/
Updated Part 1 ↔ Part 2 cross-links to the new URLs:
- /blog/2026/09/camel-genai-observability-jbang/

Fixed the TUI spans screenshot location and verified blog links (commit f146c2d).

Image fix

Moved camel-genai-observability-spans.png from content/blog/2026/08/camel-genai-observability-jbang/ to content/blog/2026/09/camel-genai-observability-jbang/ alongside the post
Hugo build confirms the image renders at ./camel-genai-observability-spans.png in the generated Part 1 page

Link verification

Part 1 ↔ Part 2 cross-links (/blog/2026/09/...) resolve correctly in Hugo build output
#observability-stack anchor exists in the Camel 4.22 what's new post
Live site checks (200): TUI manual, OpenTelemetry spans anchor, AI components, Observability Services, LangChain4j Spring Boot integration, camel422-whatsnew anchor
Fixed broken link: /manual/camel-jbang-jdk-installation.html (404) → /manual/camel-jbang.html (200)

Note: Example repo tree links (camel-jbang-examples/.../ai/genai-observability and camel-spring-boot-examples/.../genai-observability) return 404 until the companion PRs are merged; the PR links (#73, #191) resolve correctly.

AI-generated comment on behalf of Omar Atie

Rebased genai-observability-blog-posts onto latest main (includes upstream commit 249e2256f — csimple is removed).

Root cause: The fork branch was stale and still linked to /components/next/languages/csimple-language.html in content/blog/2020/12/Camel37-Whatsnew/index.md. That page was removed when csimple was deprecated; upstream main already dropped those links.

Fix: Force-pushed rebased branch (45e2ed781). No csimple-language links remain in the tree.

CI may show action_required until a maintainer approves workflow execution for this fork PR — after approval, check:links should pass.

@davsclaus could u trigger CI build when u have a moment ?

Align Part 2 with camel-spring-boot-examples#192: camel infra run observability, management port 9876, Micrometer Tracing OTLP export, two-model YAML routes, Perses GenAI dashboard screenshots, and camel.aiobservability.enabled property name. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

AI-generated comment on behalf of Omar Atie

Pushed blog updates (fd4836df9) addressing @davsclaus's feedback on apache/camel-spring-boot-examples#192:

Part 2 (Spring Boot) — aligned with the reworked genai-observability example:

camel infra run observability (removed docker-compose path)
Metrics on /observe/metrics port 9876, VictoriaTraces on 10428, Perses on 3000
Two-model YAML routes, Micrometer Tracing + OTel bridge for working trace export
Perses GenAI dashboard section with screenshots from the example
camel.aiobservability.enabled property name

Part 1 (JBang) — minor cross-link and property name fixes.
