Identify issues behind suspicious trends
When troubleshooting issues, finding the root cause of a problem as quickly as possible is critical. Chronosphere Observability Platform includes differential diagnosis to help developers find the source of slowdowns or failures by identifying suspicious trends in your telemetry data and what’s causing them.
Differential diagnosis lets developers resolve service performance issues without writing queries or needing knowledge of the entire system. Differential diagnosis ranks and highlights the most probable sources of issues so developers can test hypotheses and compare trends to identify root causes.
Identify issues in traces
In Trace Explorer or from service pages, use
differential diagnosis for trace to
identify trends and immediately scan through all related tags and values to pinpoint
the exact tag:value
pairs most closely correlated with suspicious behavior.
Identify trends in metrics
In Metrics Explorer or from service pages, use differential diagnosis for metrics to examine time series anomalies, such as unusual shapes in their metrics like spikes and dips, and quickly understand what dimensions are contributing to an issue.
