Observability with enterprise IT systems is critical in an age of digital transformation.

As organizations embrace digital transformation, the associated automation of business processes has ramped up pressure on IT teams to be more proactive and flexible. There is unusual focus on DevOps practitioners and site reliability engineers (SREs), for these are the professionals who create the critical apps and keep them running. Rapid, informed response is vital because a digitally transformed business lives or dies on the performance of its operational systems.

The built-in complexity of modern systems and vast operational data volumes has produced a new associated challenge. When something goes wrong and performance takes a hit, legacy manual processes of discovering probable root cause and remediation are too slow. As a result, the new essential tool for operational teams is observability.
