Plan Your IT Monitoring Journey
Assess your need for observability.
- You need to determine the appropriate level of visibility and integrability needed across your different environments.
- However, having less control over cloud environments means you need a different approach to monitoring their signals and inferring the state of the system.
- People are discussing observability and end-to-end visibility, but it’s not clear if this level of monitoring maturity is necessary.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Full observability isn’t always necessary or worth the expense. Some aspects of your environment may need a greater level of monitoring than others. The key is first to understand the problem you are trying to solve and then choose the tools that give you the right level of data, context, and insights.
Impact and Result
- Define observability in the context of a monitoring capability scale: from systems monitoring to full observability.
- Right-size your monitoring implementation by aligning the different areas of your environment to the correct level of monitoring. Do you need full observability capabilities? Or will APM tools suffice?
