  • Objective attainment

    Objective attainment is a reliability concept used to describe a specific condition, control, or decision in the operation of software services.

    Reliability and observability

  • Observability

    Observability is the ability to understand a system's internal behavior from the evidence it produces. In software systems, that evidence often includes logs, metrics, and traces connected to enough context to investigate unexpected behavior.

  • Observability dashboard

    Observability dashboard is a view combining metrics, logs, traces, and context for a system question.

    Reliability and observability

  • Observability signal

    Observability signal is a recorded representation of system behavior that helps a team infer what is happening inside a service.

  • OpenTelemetry

    OpenTelemetry is an open-source framework and specification set for generating, collecting, and exporting telemetry.

    Reliability and observability

  • OpenTelemetry Collector

    OpenTelemetry Collector is a vendor-neutral service that receives, processes, and exports telemetry.

    Reliability and observability

  • Operational toil

    Operational toil is recurring work needed to keep a service running that tends to be manual, tactical, automatable, and without lasting improvement. Its volume often grows with the service unless the underlying need is reduced.

    Reliability and observability

  • OTLP

    OTLP is the OpenTelemetry Protocol for transmitting telemetry between instrumented systems, collectors, and backends.

    Reliability and observability

  • Overload control

    Overload control is a reliability concept used to describe a specific condition, control, or decision in the operation of software services.
