Observability is about providing visibility into the internal states of systems and applications. Most commonly it is based on logs, metrics and traces. Identifying and resolving issues through comprehensive data collection and analysis ensures the resiliency of complex systems.

Essential monitoring metrics for better decision-making

Any company dealing with software development knows the importance of reliable infrastructure. Whether you have multiple environments for testing and production which are needed to allow your own teams to work without interruptions or you provide mobile or web services to customers, you will have to keep an eye on your systems. So it goes without saying, you will need a good monitoring system to make sure your systems and infrastructure keep performing as they should. But modern monitoring systems provide tons of raw data when the performance metrics are collected.

[interview] How to use data to navigate complex systems better? Talking about monitoring and observability.

In today's constantly developing technological landscape, businesses are looking for solutions that help them manage complex systems and ensure optimal performance. However, although 90% of IT professionals believe observability is important and strategic to their business, only 26% said their observability practice was mature. Why this difference? What are the reasons why businesses don’t manage to implement monitoring and observability at a high level? In this interview, we explore the significance of monitoring and observability - our guests Edyta Kałka, Senior Engineering Manager, and Maciej Manturewicz, Director of Engineering, will share their insights, real-world experiences, and opinions on how to create effective monitoring and observability solutions.

The popular open-source monitoring tools you should know

The foundation of any successful business is utilizing the most modern technologies for everyday tasks. Today you can’t run a company, no matter how big or small, with just phones and faxes anymore. You will need a wide network of servers, devices, and applications, even if your company is not involved in software development. Your company IT infrastructure may be physical or cloud-based, but in any case it has to run smoothly to facilitate employees’ performance instead of hindering it. It is a well-known truth that any problem is easier to fix if you notice it as early as possible, before it becomes aggravated.

Types of monitoring and observability data: categories and limitations

The monitoring and observability of current complex software solutions can be even more intricate than the solutions themselves. Not only do monitoring and observability software or service providers need to understand these complexities, but they also need to provide clear and efficient insights. One aspect of providing a view into the monitored system is through metrics. In this article, we will group them into two intersecting types to enhance understanding of monitoring/observability concepts and make the use of monitoring and observability tools easier.

Introduction to network telemetry

You may have already heard about network telemetry, but you are not sure you understand well enough what exactly is behind it. If that's the case, you'll find the right explanation in this article. The term "network telemetry" can be understood in different ways. Over the years, it was not completely clear for everyone. Following the RFC 9232, you will come across the following understanding of the terms "network telemetry" and "telemetry data"- “Network telemetry is a technology for gaining network insight and facilitating efficient and automated network management.

In-band network telemetry — what is it all about?

In-band network telemetry is one concept from a wide range of available solutions for network telemetry. If you want to know what this approach is all about and how it has been adopted so far, please read on. Over the years, a wide variety of protocols, methods, and tools have been developed for network telemetry. These solutions are quite diverse and are used depending on the specific context and needs. Some time ago, one more concept appeared on the map: in-band network telemetry. The approach here is to gather so-called telemetry metadata for packets traversing network segments.
