In IT and cloud computing, observability is the ability to measure a system’s current state based on the data it generates, such as logs, metrics, and traces. Organizations usually implement observability using a combination of instrumentation methods including open-source instrumentation tools, such as OpenTelemetry.

The growing popularity of open source software presents new risks associated with vulnerable libraries. To handle the increasing complexity of open source software, software composition analysis (SCA) has become an important tool. As part of the process, SCA provides a full analysis of open source project health metrics.
