This is achieved, in part, by establishing actionable statistical accuracy —not necessarily precise accuracy —through practical levels of metric sampling, aggregation, and extrapolation. Introducing metric extraction from business events Beginning with Dynatrace SaaS version 1.257, you can extract metrics from ingested business events.

Certain service-level objective examples can help organizations get started on measuring and delivering metrics that matter. Teams can build on these SLO examples to improve application performance and reliability. In this post, I’ll lay out five SLO examples that every DevOps and SRE team should consider.

As a result, organizations need to monitor mobile app performance metrics that are meaningful and actionable by gaining adequate observability of mobile app performance. There are many common mobile app performance metrics that are used to measure key performance indicators (KPIs) related to user experience and satisfaction.

To get a more granular look into telemetry data, many analysts rely on custom metrics using Prometheus. Named after the Greek god who brought fire down from Mount Olympus, Prometheus metrics have been transforming observability since the project’s inception in 2012.

That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags. In addition to tracing, observability also defines two other key concepts, metrics and logs. When software runs in a monolithic stack on on-site servers, observability is manageable enough. What is OpenTelemetry?

A few years ago, we were paged by our SRE team due to our Metrics Alerting System falling behind — critical application health alerts reached engineers 45 minutes late! Hence, we started down the path of alert evaluation via real-time streaming metrics. Data expressions define what data needs to be sourced in order to evaluate a query.

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.
