Observability Terminal Tools
Observability is the ability to understand the entire state of an internal system by analyzing the data it generates. It is commonly used in distributed systems and microservices.
It goes beyond monitoring, instead of tracking known predefined issues of a system, observability explores deeper using traces, logs, events and metrics as part of investigating the root cause of an issue of a system.
Below are a list of terminal tools that developers use for observability.
