Moving Open Source Observability backend closer to turn-key solutions In our first post on Moving Open-Source Observability closer to turn-key solutions, we discussed how we can automate the source-to-pipeline. But turn-key solutions also flow data to the backend and provide logs and metrics that are contextually aware of the systems being monitored.While detecting sources and building the capture mechanism may seem more challenging at first glance, it is easier – we have a defined technology, and our observability agent defines the output structure. So what makes the pipeline to the backend more complex?We’re more likely to have a variety of products, and some products may have functional overlaps.Greater configuration diversity in how tools can be configured.Greater contextual awareness is needed.Let’s break these down in more detail.Greater variety of tools means we need a common way to set up transformations; otherwise, the mechanics of a transformation process in our pipeline will...
