IT incidents are events which lead to a disruption or deviation from the regular operating standards of a computer system or network. They can be caused by various factors, including hardware or software failures, human error, or even deliberate external (cybersecurity) attacks. It begins with short delays, or services cutting out - for example, when a website or server is down, or access to data(bases) takes too long.
Metrics, Logs and Traces are often referred to as The Three Pillars of “Observability“. The term observability has been used in control theory to refer to how the state of a system can be inferred from the system’s external outputs. Applied to IT, observability is how the current state of an application can be assessed based on the data it generates. Applications and the IT components they use provide outputs in the form of metrics, events, logs and traces (MELT).

Refinery, Honeycomb’s tail-based dynamic sampling proxy, often makes sampling feel like magic. This applies especially to dynamic sampling, because it ensures that interesting and unique traffic is kept, while tossing out nearly-identical “boring” traffic. But like any sufficiently advanced technology, it can feel a bit counterintuitive to wield correctly, at first. On Honeycomb’s Customer Architect team, we’re often asked to assist customers with their Refinery clusters.
Too many IT tickets, not enough time. That’s just one problem that comes with a poor employee onboarding experience, and it’s one that causes deal-breaking difficulties for new employees, and just as importantly, IT leaders in the IT service management (ITSM) department.
