What is observability and How to practice observability?

  1. What is observability?
    Ans. Observability is superset of Monitoring in a sense that Monitoring is Alerting + Overview of Incident and Observability is Alerting + Overview + Debugging + Tracing + Logging.
    To summarise Monitoring tells you a system is working or not, observability asks and gives details why it isn't working.

  2. How to practice observability?
    Ans. We can practice observability by applying MELT i.e
    Metrics
    Events
    Logging
    Tracing

  3. What are the datatypes we need to collection to setup observability?
    Ans The datatypes for setup of observability is
    Performace Metrics
    Traces
    Past Logs
    Errors Counts
