Welcome to Observability 101, the comprehensive guide from Observo.ai, unveiling the mysteries of observability in 38 insightful chapters. Have you ever wanted to know something specific about observability but were afraid to ask? Fear not, this series is designed to be your go-to resource, answering all of the questions you might have.

DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) is a powerful solution that enables IT operations teams to monitor and manage the performance and availability of their IT infrastructure and applications. One of the key core components of DX UIM is the Discovery Server probe. This probe collects, processes, and stores information about devices and applications. In this blog, we will explore some of the benefits and use cases for Discovery Server.

Your applications are only as powerful as they are iterable. To keep up with their rapidly changing production environments, your teams need reliable CI/CD systems that implement best practices—including build and test automation, flaky test management, and deployment management. By optimizing their CI/CD pipelines, your teams can build their apps more efficiently, deploy them more safely, and catch bugs and security vulnerabilities before they make it to production.

In a keynote at AI.Dev, Robert Nishihara (CEO, Anyscale) described the shift: A year ago, the people working with ML models were ML experts. Now, they’re developers. A year ago, the process was to experiment with building a model, then put a product on top of it. Now, it’s ship a product, find the market fit, then create customized models. The general-purpose generative AI models available to all of us today (such as ChatGPT) change the way work is done.

Tucker Callaway (CEO, Mezmo) and Kevin Petrie (Vice President of Research, Eckerson Group) had a conversation centered around enterprises taking control of their data and the growing need for consolidated collection and management of telemetry data. They discuss how enterprises can optimize telemetry pipelines, take charge of their data, and enhance their observability and security game.

This is the second post in a 3-part series about shifting Observability left. If you have not had a chance to read the first, you can find it here. In today’s complex microservices deployments, gaining visibility into deployments is vital for optimal system performance and scalability. This has become even more important as the tech industry has moved toward microservice architecture reliance. Navigating through logs has become increasingly complex as requirements have grown.

IT monitoring is evolving rapidly, and LogicMonitor is at the forefront of this transformation with the release of LogicMonitor’s new user interface (UI). This release marks a significant milestone, reflecting our commitment to innovation, responsiveness to user feedback, and anticipation of future technological trends.

Observability is often defined in the context of three pillars: logs, metrics, and traces. Modern-day cloud-native applications are complex and dynamic. To avoid surprises and performance issues, you need a robust observability stack. But is observability limited to collecting logs, metrics, and traces? How is observability evolving to make our systems more observable? In this tutorial, we cover.

This is the first post in a 3-part series about shifting Observability left. When it comes to the reliability and performance of your applications, compromise is not an option in the world of software development. This is where observability can help developers achieve a more robust and scalable infrastructure.

For businesses reliant on customers’ positive digital experiences to achieve their goals, the seamless operation of cloud applications and infrastructure is paramount for financial success. Observability holds a pivotal role in modern enterprises, offering critical insights into your IT system’s health and performance. However, persistent issues of complexity and high costs have plagued the observability landscape.
