Observability and Monitoring with Telemetry
Observability and Monitoring with Telemetry Telemetry is the data you collect from software and infrastructure to understand how a system behaves. Observability is the ability to explain unexpected behavior from that data. Monitoring is the daily practice of watching health signals and sending alerts when things drift out of range. Together, metrics, logs, and traces give a clear picture of how services perform in the real world. Three pillars guide most setups. Metrics are numbers that describe events, like requests per second or error rate. Logs are records of events with details that explain what happened. Traces map the journey of a single request as it flows through services, showing where time is spent. Each pillar helps answer different questions, and combined they form a reliable view of system health. ...
