Observability is the ability to measure the current state of a system based on the data it generates, such as logs, metrics, and traces. This is becoming more and more important due to the increasing use of microservices hosted in containers on distributed cloud servers and continuously under the watchful eye of the DevOps team.

The Dynatrace Software Intelligence Platform ingests data from a variety of observability frameworks and thousands of nodes and applications without code changes or cumbersome configuration and delivers continuous automation and AI-powered answers in context to avoid data silos: metrics, traces, logs, events, topology, user behavior, code layers, and more.
