Identify Weak Links in Your Application Stack – Part 2, Anomaly Detection

Anomaly Detection and Cisco Cloud Observability APIs In the Part 1 blog [1], we talked about the importance of application observability and how the application stack is more complex than ever with multi cloud deployments. We saw how the FSO solution, Cisco Cloud Observability [2], can be used to identify and react to cloud native application entity health leveraging Health Rules APIs and Actions API. One aspect of any APM solution is to ensure that…

See How to Begin Observability at the Data Source

More data does not mean better observability If you’re familiar with observability, you know most teams have a “data problem.” That is, observability data has exploded as teams have modernized their application stacks and embraced microservices architectures. If you had unlimited storage, it’d be feasible to ingest all your metrics, events, logs, and traces (MELT data) in a centralized observability platform . However, that is simply not the case. Instead, teams index large volumes of data…
