Overview
By using distributed architectures, the cloud native ecosystem enables organizations to build scalable, resilient, and novel software architectures. But the ever-changing nature of distributed systems means that previous approaches to monitoring can no longer keep up. Cloud native systems require a new approach to monitoring, one that is open source compatible, scalable, reliable, and able to control for massive data growth.
But cloud native monitoring can't exist in a vacuum: it needs to be part of a broader observability strategy. In this report, authors Kenichi Shibata, Martin Mao, and Rob Skillington introduce the three phases of observability, a pragmatic, goal-driven approach to cloud native monitoring that emphasizes remediating problems. With this method, you'll collect, aggregate, and analyze metrics that focus on the outcomes you want to achieve: to rectify or prevent issues in your system so you can focus on improving business outcomes.
The three phases of observability include:
- Knowing within the team quickly if something is wrong
- Triaging to identify the urgency of issues and decide which ones to prioritize
- Performing a root cause analysis to understand and fix the underlying problem
