Observability 101: Terminology and Concepts

When I first started following Charity on Twitter back in early 2019, I was quickly overwhelmed by the new words and concepts she was discussing. I liked the results she described: faster debugging, less alert fatigue, happier users. Those are all things I wanted for my team! But I was hung up on these big polysyllabic words, which stopped me from taking those first steps toward improving our own observability.

Webinar: Achieve comprehensive observability with Sensu and Elasticsearch

The Elasticsearch data platform is ideal for analyzing monitoring and observability data. But if your multi-cloud journey has led you to multiple monitoring and observability tools, you may face challenges getting all that data into Elasticsearch. In this webinar, Sensu Developer Advocate Todd Campbell shows you how to get the most out of your Elasticsearch investment — and achieve deeper visibility — with the Sensu observability pipeline.

Getting Started With Honeycomb Metrics

Honeycomb is an event-based observability tool, but you can-and should-use metrics alongside your events. Fortunately, Honeycomb can analyze both types of data at the same time. When maturing from metrics-based application monitoring to an observability-based development practice, there are considerations that can make the transformation easier for you and your team.

Logs and Traces: Two Houses Unalike in Dignity

Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO) and its clinical interface terminology form the foundation healthcare enterprises need, including effective management of Electronic Health Record (EMR) problem lists and accurate documentation. Over 4,500 hospitals and 500,000 physicians use IMO products on a daily basis. With Honeycomb, the engineering team at IMO was able to find hidden architectural issues that were previously obscured in their logs.

WEBINAR: Advanced Serverless Debugging through Observability

In this webinar we will be covering the advanced techniques of observability, debugging and operations with large-scale serverless environments. We'll be looking at the best practices for ingesting and navigating logs, metrics and traces to easily understand the state of your application and develop confidence in your operational practices.
