Metrics
Aggregate measurements from your services and apps, such as a fixed number
of periodic observations that record the count of requests handled over the span
of a minute. Observability Platform adds, drops, and aggregates those statistics
for use in dashboards, traces, and alerts.
Logs
Data directly generated by apps and services, which you can ingest with
Observability Platform to investigate issues with your systems and monitor their
health. Use Logs Explorer to search log data so your teams have more detailed context
to help identify and fix the root cause of issues.
Traces
Mapping and analyzing requests as they flow through a distributed system. Traces
include spans that an app emits, and connects related spans together. Each span
represents an operation or unit of work.
Change events
Data elements that describe real world changes or events that could have affected
your environment. Events let you answer questions like When did a particular
service deploy last?
