Observability SRE Meetup

K8s Meetup Sydney

What is observability: 

In simple terms :

·It is understanding what is going on with your system

·It is about the who what when and why of your system and NOT just about the current status of your system.

·Observability provides (rather should provide) context turning noise into insights

·Knowing a request failed is good, but knowing why it failed it better.

 

There was also a talk about the open telemetry framework and Elastic common schema.

 

The session ended with a demo on how to use elastic's semantic search functionality to provide more context to traces.Here's a git repo of the demo and some notes : https://github.com/justincastilla/sydney-elastic-google-meetup
