SolarWinds Metrics, Logging, Tracing, Monitoring, Observability, APM and You

How do monitoring, observability, distributed tracing, and APM all fit together? This talk presents a recent history of the monitoring and observability ecosystem, explaining how metrics, logs, and traces come together to provide a complete picture of application performance. It explains recent efforts to standardize common telemetry instrumentation APIs like OpenTracing, OpenCensus, and OpenTelemetry. Finally, it shows how SolarWinds AppOptics offers automatic metrics, logging, and distributed tracing instrumentation without any code modification for eight languages.
