Monitoring & Observability: Strategy to Make Your Data Visible • Arun Prasad • GOTO 2024
Develop a data-visible strategy by starting with a balanced monitoring and observability model, defining scope, prioritizing feedback, and adopting open telemetry while ensuring data quality and compliance.
- Start with a balanced monitoring and observability model, considering demands from stakeholders, business requirements, and the cost.
- Define the scope and boundaries of observability, focusing on applying it to applications, platforms, infrastructure, network, or specific business areas.
- Prioritize observability to ensure continuous feedback and improvement, enabling data-driven decision-making.
- Adopt an open telemetry framework and build reuseible components as much as possible.
- Conduct pilot projects to validate the observability strategy and identify the most effective tools and methodologies.
- Develop a training program to educate teams on the use cases and benefits of observability, and provide support for onboarding and implementation.
- Establish data retention policies, governance, and metrics to ensure data quality and compliance.
- Consider budget allocation and resource allocation for observability initiatives, and prioritize the right investment areas.
- Ensure observability data is available, accessible, and can be consumed by various teams, and provide insights into application and infrastructure performance.
- Adopt a tool-agnostic approach, and experiment with different tools and technologies to achieve the best results.
- Define use cases and requirements for monitoring and observability, and create a data-driven feedback loop to iterate and improve.
- Enable teams to drive their own observability journey, and provide guidance and support as needed.
- Document best practices and share knowledge across teams to promote collaboration and reuse.
- Continuously evaluate and optimize the observability strategy, and refine it based on feedback and results.
