Increasing deployments of observability tools have led to an explosion in the cost, scale and complexity of telemetry. Legacy solutions leave businesses drowning in data with limited insight into their containers. I&O leaders should look at these Cool Vendors to understand their modern applications.
Distinctions between traditional IT operations and site reliability engineering (SRE) teams are rapidly diminishing, and legacy monitoring tools were not designed to operate as part of an SRE toolset.
Large enterprises are ingesting more than 10s of TB of log files per day, with an increasing number ingesting more than 100TB and a few approaching a petabyte (1000TB). This is causing fundamental technical challenges and escalating costs to traditional log file aggregation.
Observability in modern environments results in generation of large data volumes at high velocity, thereby increasing the challenge of quickly finding the important “needles in the haystack.”
