occurring within
the system.
Metrics
Observes and
manages the
performance,
availability, and health
of cloud resources
and services provided
by cloud platforms
like AWS, Azure, and
Google Cloud.
Traces
Observes and
manages the
performance,
availability, and health
of cloud resources
and services provided
by cloud platforms
like AWS, Azure, and
Google Cloud.

4. Best Practices for
Log Collection
Ensure maximum standardization of logs.
Avoid collecting confidential information to prevent
data leaks.
. Configure real-time alerts.
Optimize your log retention policy.

5. Best Monitoring
tools
Together, these open-source tools form the basis
