The o11y building blocks O`bservabilit | wc - l `y
• Metrics • Traces • Logs
Metrics • High rate of events, with low cardinality at
a reasonable cost • Gauges and counters (and distributions/histograms from those) • Think CPU load, temperature, durations, number of requests
Traces • Medium rate of events, supplement metrics • Durations
across systems • Think waterfall graphs and pro f ilers (which some APM tools now also include in trace data)
Logs • Lower rate of events for comparable cost to
metrics but with higher cardinality of related data • Ideally structured, ideally one line per service per request
Lower level questions What questions to ask? • which of
my hosts have high cpu load? • which service is giving a lot of 500 error responses? • where is the time spent on this queue processing an event?
Slightly broader questions What questions to ask? • when will
I run out of my error budget for my SLO? • how many items are we selling compared to the same time last month? • how many instances can we turn off?
Higher level questions What questions to ask? • how much
of our daily sales are from repeat customers? • how many streams do our customers play on average per month over time? • how much are we paying per request handled?

Considerations A sample project • Needs to be actively maintained
• Needs to run locally • Needs to mostly maintain itself
