Service monitoring and observability
Service monitoring and observability are crucial practices in maintaining and understanding the health and performance of software systems, especially in the context of microservices architecture and distributed systems. They involve collecting, analyzing, and acting upon data to ensure the system’s reliability, identify issues, and make informed decisions for improvement.
Service monitoring
Service monitoring involves the systematic collection and analysis of various metrics and logs from the software components and infrastructure to assess the system’s health and performance. Monitoring provides real-time visibility into the system’s behavior, enabling quick detection of anomalies and issues. Some key aspects of service monitoring are as follows:
- Metrics collection: Monitoring tools gather quantitative data, such as CPU usage, memory consumption, request rates, error rates, and response times, from various components...
