Logs and log management have been around far longer than monitoring and it is easy to forget just how useful and essential they can be for modern observability. Most of you will know us for VictoriaMetrics, our open source time series database and monitoring solution.

Kubernetes has revolutionized the way we manage and deploy applications, but as with any system, troubleshooting can often be a daunting task.

This is where Kubernetes Operators and Auto-Tracing come into play, aiming to simplify the troubleshooting process.
