Observability vs Monitoring vs Telemetry: Understanding the Key Differences

Observability, monitoring, and telemetry are crucial for maintaining the performance and reliability of modern systems. Their concepts are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct differences that are important to understand. In this blog, we’ll explore each concept in detail, including key characteristics and examples of tools. We’ll also compare observability vs monitoring vs telemetry and discuss when it’s appropriate to use each.

FluentD vs FluentBit - Which log collector to choose?

Tools like Fluentbit and Fluentd make log management more efficient by centralizing log data from multiple sources and providing the ability to monitor and analyze it all in one place. Log management is the practice of collecting, storing, analyzing, and monitoring log data from various systems and applications. This log data can provide valuable insights for organizations such as identifying system issues, troubleshooting problems, detecting security threats, and meeting compliance requirements.

Splunk Monitoring: What is it and How Can You Use it?

Over the last couple of years, there has been exponential growth in the volume and variety of machine data. The main reason has been the ever-growing number of connected machines in IT infrastructure, the sophistication of data algorithms, and the increased use of IoT devices. This data has proven to be quite valuable - even necessary - as an organisation can analyse and use it to drive productivity, improve efficiency, and gain visibility for their business. There is a catch: to make the machine data work for them, organisations need a simplified tool that can analyse and visualise. This is where Splunk comes in.

How Much Does That Minute Cost?

Network outages are both common and expensive – usually far more expensive than people realize. Yes, the network is down and the organization is losing money, but do you really appreciate how much money? And how much an outage can actually cost on a per minute basis? It’s not only more than most people think, it’s something that can be mitigated fairly easily.

How to monitor Kubernetes clusters with the Prometheus Operator

Kubernetes has become the preferred tool for DevOps engineers to deploy and manage containerized applications on one or multiple servers. These compute nodes are also known as clusters, and their performance is crucial to the success of an application. If a Kubernetes cluster isn’t performing optimally, the application’s availability and performance will suffer, leading to unhappy users and even revenue loss.

Learn How to Streamline Endpoint Data Collection and Send it to Grafana Cloud for Monitoring with Cribl Edge

You’re responsible for administering hundreds to thousands of server endpoints deployed at your company.
