OpsRamp Blog How Network Observability Helps Lay the Foundation of Autonomous IT Operations

We often hear the term "observability" in the context of DevOps and how SREs use telemetry data. Collecting and analyzing this telemetry data is a vital first step to a successful autonomous IT operations strategy. Observability can help you find out about problems in your system you didn’t know you had—and before your users are impacted—by giving you new visibility that your monitoring systems don’t provide. But any observability initiative must also include network observability. Network observability is a similar concept but applied to network telemetry, also referred to as network-centric observability. Network performance management plays a vital role in effectively managing the overall software environment and user experience. However, with modern networks' complex architecture and configurations, understanding and analyzing the state of networks has become challenging, especially in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
