Gaining insights from your data requires more than collecting and analyzing metrics and logs. With the acceleration of citizen and mission demands, site reliability engineers and IT Ops analysts now require operational visibility into their entire architecture, something that traditional APM tools, dev logging tools, and SRE tools aren’t equipped to provide.
