Where is the value in #monitoring ? Most of the time is spent becoming aware of the problem and identifying what to fix. Fixing it usually is the easy part #CFD22#observability
At #CFD22 a good question is about how can IT react to a third party dependency having an issue, even if you detect it quickly. A good real-world story that illustrates this is this incident in December 2023 catchpoint.com/blog/adobe-ex…#observability#ipm#monitoring
Mehdi speaking about how IT teams are submerged under billions of datapoints, logs, expensive storage - a better way is to focus on business and user experience metrics (XLOs): Can I buy a product in X seconds? Can a user complete a transaction in X time?

As an illustration, @catchpoint's founder Mehdi showed this diagram that depicts the complexity and distributed nature of a modern organization. Traditional monitoring designed for on-premises, code-centric, monolithic apps, are insufficient today. #adfd1#IPM
Every customer interaction today is either digital or supported by digital systems which are distributed, complex, and internet-centric. Therefore, every #ITops team must pay attention to the Internet Stack. They need Internet Performance Monitoring #adfd1@Catchpoint
