What is Observability?

1.Monitoring is the process to gather metrics about the operations of an IT environment's hardware and software to ensure everything functions as expected to support applications and services.

2.Observability is the advancement of Monitoring, getting deeper in to the metrics we have.

for example, through monitoring we can get the current state of a device, by obserbability we can fetch , how long the device was in that state.

3.Action items for observability is MELT
Melt, Events, Logs,Traces.

1. Monitoring is the process of checking the health status of the servers, services, devices & applications and can be report to respective owners.

2. Observability is show what's going on inside of the system and can be modify it. Where as in monitoring we don't have the option

3. Tracing and checking s logs

1.Monitoring is the regular recording of activities.

1. Observability Metrices ,Events , logs, traces

Monitoring
Monitoring is based on collecting and gathering of metrices and Events

3.MELT is used to setup observability

Monitoring is a process of collecting, analyzing data and information to improve the performance In work.

Observability is that it is the use of external data outputs to understand the internal state of a system it is use of logs, metrics and distributed traces to understand the state of a complex software system..

Major elementary keywords are:
Metrics
Events
Logs
Traces

1. What is Monitoring ?

Gathering of Metrics Data (Availability, Performance & Capacity)

1. What is observability and hows its different from Monitoring?

Observability relies on telemetry. Its been based on the data it generates such as logs, Metrics & traces.It has multiple cloud infrastructure component & container, open-source tool, Microservice records.

1. What are action items for setting up observability?

Metrics
Events
Logs
Trace

1. Monitoring is a process to mitigate any issues that occurs in the environment

2. Observability and monitoring are separate but supplemental concepts. A simple way to distinguish the two is that monitoring works by collecting and analyzing telemetry known to be related to application or system performance issues, while observability gives teams the contextual information needed to identify and respond to “unknown unknowns,” or issues teams are not yet aware of.Observability platforms automatically and continuously collect telemetry data from across distributed IT environments and correlate it in real-time, allowing users to easily understand what is happening and why without having to predefine the exact data collected or tagging applied. Beyond simply enabling enhanced monitoring, observability solutions provide an exploratory function, giving users the application and infrastructure context needed to flexibly query operational data and surface valuable insights.

3.Metrics, Events, Logs and Traces are the essential data types of observability

Monitoring set up helps us to keep a tab on Infrastructure services to ensure everything is working as expected and any abnormality is reported in form of an alerting.

While Monitoring tells us there is a issue, Observability tells us why & where the issue is, thus helps in faster resolution with less trouble shooting.

Action items for setting up observability is MELT : Metrics, Events, Logs, Trace .

What is monitoring?

• It's a systematic process of collecting, analysing and using the information (matrices) to reach an objective over a period of time (and to track progress)
• used for various reasons like health checks, etc
• In monitoring we ask questions based on the dashboards.
• Static environment
• Basically, monitoring tells us if a system is working or not.

What is observability and hows its different from Monitoring?

• Observability is lets you ask why a system is not working.
• Unlike monitoring, it provides broad view of a system's health and performance.
• Dynamic environment
• The job here is to find out why and where there is a problem.
• inner workings, debugging, etc

What are action items for setting up observability?

• Latency, errors, traffic, saturation.
• MELT Matrices Events Logs Traces
