How Lack of Knowledge Among Teams Impacts Observability

Without a doubt, you’ve heard about the persistent talent gap that has troubled the technology sector in recent years. It’s a problem that isn’t going away, plaguing everyone from engineering teams to IT security pros, and if you work in the industry today you’ve likely experienced it somewhere within your own teams. Despite major changes in the tech landscape, it is clear that organizations are still having significant difficulty keeping their technical talent in-house.

Mastering Observability with OpenSearch: A Comprehensive Guide

Observability is the ability to understand the internal workings of a system by measuring and tracking its external outputs. In technical terms, it entails collecting and examining data from numerous sources within a system to attain insights into its behavior, performance, and health. All organizations are now familiar with how essential observability is to ensure optimal performance and availability of their IT infrastructure.

Avoid Observability Failure

The public Internet is now a core component of every company’s digital architecture. Given its nature as a shared resource, the Internet is also the biggest variable in digital experience today. Therefore, application performance management solutions, which typically monitor application transactions and the cloud infrastructure that applications reside upon, can only offer IT operations teams a partial view of the overall health and performance of digital services. IT organizations must modernize their observability toolsets with Internet Performance Monitoring solutions.

Introducing Relational Fields

We’re excited to bring you relational fields, a new feature that allows you to query spans based on their relationship to each other within a trace. Previously, queries considered spans in isolation: You could ask about field values on spans and aggregate them based on matching criteria, but you couldn’t use any qualifying relationships about where and how the spans appear in a trace.

Control your log volumes with Datadog Observability Pipelines

Modern organizations face a challenge in handling the massive volumes of log data—often scaling to terabytes—that they generate across their environments every day. Teams rely on this data to help them identify, diagnose, and resolve issues more quickly, but how and where should they store logs to best suit this purpose? For many organizations, the immediate answer is to consolidate all logs remotely in higher-cost indexed storage to ready them for searching and analysis.

Aggregate, process, and route logs easily with Datadog Observability Pipelines

The volume of logs generated from modern environments can overwhelm teams, making it difficult to manage, process, and derive measurable value from them. As organizations seek to manage this influx of data with log management systems, SIEM providers, or storage solutions, they can inadvertently become locked into vendor ecosystems, face substantial network costs and processing fees, and run the risk of sensitive data leakage.
