Next Generation of Observability Powered by Vectors

As we move ahead in our journey to apply vectors to different use cases, we are going to see how to combine them with observability in this chapter. This domain is a part of the solution provided by the Elastic platform. Observability encompasses notions, such as log analytics, metric analytics, and application performance monitoring (APM), with the common purposes of building awareness about a system’s health and helping operation teams to diagnose and remediate the root causes of incidents whenever they occur.
