An introduction to observability, explaining how it differs from traditional monitoring and how logs, metrics, and traces provide full system visibility
What is Observability?
Why Traditional Monitoring Falls Short
The Three Pillars: Logs, Metrics, and Traces
How to Correlate Logs and Traces
This session provides a clear understanding of observability and how it goes beyond traditional monitoring approaches. You will learn why monitoring alone is often insufficient for diagnosing complex, modern systems and how observability enables deeper insights.
The session explores the three core pillars of observability—logs, metrics, and traces—and explains how each contributes to understanding system behavior. It also covers how correlating logs with traces helps in identifying issues more efficiently and achieving end-to-end visibility across distributed systems.
