Observability

Elastic Stack Serverless

Observability accelerates problem resolution with open, flexible, and unified observability powered by advanced machine learning and analytics. Elastic ingests all operational and business telemetry and correlates for faster root cause detection.

Read the following quickstart guides to get started with Observability:

• Get started: Discover more about our observability features and how to get started.

Ingest observability data using OpenTelemetry:

• Quickstart: Monitor hosts with OpenTelemetry
• Quickstart: Monitor Kubernetes with OpenTelemetry
• Quickstart: Send data to the Elastic Cloud Managed OTLP Endpoint

Use the Elastic Agent to ingest data:

• Quickstart: Monitor hosts with Elastic Agent: Scan your host to detect and collect logs and metrics.
• Quickstart: Monitor your Kubernetes cluster with Elastic Agent: Create the Kubernetes resources that are required to monitor your cluster infrastructure.

Explore your data:

• Get started with Logs: Add your log data to Observability and start exploring your logs.
• Get started with traces and APM: Collect Application Performance Monitoring (APM) data and visualize it in real time.
• Get started with metrics: Add your metrics data to Observability and visualize it in real time.

After you've collected your data, you can:

• Explore log data: Use Discover to explore your log data.
• Trigger alerts and triage problems: Create rules to detect complex conditions and trigger alerts.
• Track and deliver on your SLOs: Measure key metrics important to the business.
• Detect anomalies and spikes: Find unusual behavior in time series data.
• Monitor application performance: Monitor your software services and applications in real time.
• Integrate with OpenTelemetry: Reuse existing APM instrumentation to capture logs, traces, and metrics.
• Monitor your hosts and services: Get a metrics-driven view of your hosts backed by an interface called Lens.
