Observability Is a Shared Responsibility Between ITOps and DevOps
Observability is an increasingly relevant concept within the world of technology. LogicMonitor’s study shows that IT observability, defined as having full visibility into the health, performance, and availability of an application, service, or system, has become the shared responsibility of both ITOps and DevOps teams. Observability is achieved through comprehensive monitoring of metrics, logs, configuration, and application trace data.
