A natural solution is to make flows configurable using configuration files, so variants can be defined without changing the code. Unlike parameters, configs can be used more widely in your flow code, particularly, they can be used in step or flow level decorators as well as to set defaults for parameters.

This is achieved, in part, by establishing actionable statistical accuracy —not necessarily precise accuracy —through practical levels of metric sampling, aggregation, and extrapolation. At the same time, deep payload inspection makes it easy to extract important business data locked in application payloads—without writing any code.

Metrics matter. But without complex analytics to make sense of them in context, metrics are often too raw to be useful on their own. To achieve relevant insights, raw metrics typically need to be processed through filtering, aggregation, or arithmetic operations. Examples of metric calculations. Dynatrace news.

That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags.

Loosely defined, observability is the ability to understand what’s happening inside a system from the knowledge of the external data it produces, which are usually logs, metrics, and traces. Logs, metrics, and traces make up the bulk of all telemetry data. The data life cycle has multiple steps from start to finish.

From a cost perspective, internal customers waste valuable time sending tickets to operations teams asking for metrics, logs, and traces to be enabled. A team looking for metrics, traces, and logs no longer needs to file a ticket to get their app monitored in their own environments. The following example drives the point home.
