Livecast Series: Discovering Observability - Your Next Great Journey in IT
It's time to join the Observability revolution. Now is your chance to expand the visibility of your infrastructure from mature monitoring to super-charged Observability. Our next THWACK® Livecast series is all about understanding how to obtain Observability within your infrastructure – regardless of where the services, servers, or end-users operate.
Session One – May 19, 10 a.m. CT, 1 hour
Charting a Course to Clearer Visibility
the_ben_keen) and Brian Radovich (bmrad)As a monitoring professional, you’re responsible for tracking the elements in your infrastructure – regardless of where they live. You have the metrics, you’re collecting the logs, and you’re tracing the most important business processes, so you already have the critical parts required for true infrastructure visibility. But correlating the data, detecting anomalies, and being informed when things go awry is the challenge. Knowing a value is outside a threshold is great, but does that constitute a problem? Thankfully, SolarWinds® Hybrid Cloud Observability is here to give you that next level of insight.
After this session, you’ll be able to:
- Understand how Hybrid Cloud Observability can help you surface important information
- Explain the difference between each Hybrid Cloud Observability scale
- See how you can easily drill down and aid in root cause analysis
- Easily transition from tools you already know to a strangely familiar platform
You won’t want to miss this discussion with Brian Radovich, product manager for Hybrid Cloud Observability and Ben Keen, community manager for THWACK®, as they discuss how and why a complete Observability solution is the logical next step in the evolution of your monitoring. Join this session to ask questions in the chat, so we can answer them live on the air.
