Observability is the ability to monitor, measure, and understand the state of a system based on its external outputs like logs, metrics, and traces.

Observability is the ability to
monitor, measure, and understand
the state of a system based on its
external outputs like logs, metrics,
and traces.

How Observability Works
Logs
Metrics
Traces
Logs can be used to create a high-fidelity, millisecond-by-millisecond
record of every event, complete with surrounding context, that
developers can 'play back' for troubleshooting and debugging purposes.
Metrics are fundamental measures of application and system health
over a given period of time, such as how much memory or CPU capacity
an application uses over a five-minute span, or how much latency an
application experiences during a spike in usage.
Traces record the end-to-end 'journey' of every user request, from the UI
or mobile app through the entire distributed architecture and back to
the user.

Difference Between
Observability and Monitoring
OBSERVABILITY MONITORING
Tells you why a system is at fault
Observability is a traversable map
It gives you complete information
Focuses on giving context to
the data
Observability creates the potential
to monitor different events
Acts as a knowledge base in
defining what to monitor
Gives a more complete assessment
of the overall environment
Focuses on monitoring the system &
discovering faults
Focuses on monitoring KPIs
Notifies you that a system is at fault
Monitoring is a single plane
It gives you limited information
Focuses on collecting data
Monitoring is the process of using
observability
