Assess
Your Observability
Maturity
Observability is the ability to see and understand the internal state of a system from its external outputs. Logs, Metrics, and Traces are the three external outputs that are widely considered to be the three pillars of observability, making up what we collectively refer to as observability data. Enterprises in today’s market must employ necessary processes and technologies in place that make their observability data actionable. This results in more efficiency and reduced risk as everyone uses that data to drive critical business outcomes.
The path to true observability is a journey and understanding your stage helps identify people, processes, and technology gaps to get more business value from your data investments.
We’ve outlined four stages that enterprises can use to evaluate their practices, tools, and people to deliver better products and services to their customers as they achieve true observability.
Where Are You?
You acknowledge the need for observability, but your focus is limited largely to logging and monitoring individual systems and applications. Data silos still exist, meaning that your teams still need to set aside dedicated cycles to gain access to this data across the organization.

Actionability
You are extracting higher value from your observability investments through data transformation. And while there is some ability to proactively identify patterns before they become serious issues, you still lack the necessary integration with data types across the business to gain the full context needed.
