• Load balance Cloud Observability

  Having effective load balancing of your Cloud Observability Microsatellites and your tracers is important to ensure an efficient use of computing resources.

• Manage AWS alerts

  Cloud Observability provides an pre-built modules to manage AWS alerts.

• Manage access tokens

  Let tools send data to Cloud Observability projects.

• Manage emails

  Cloud Observability automatically determines how well your services are instrumented and performing, and sends email notifications that let you know how you're doing.

• Measure your instrumentation quality

  The span data that you view and use in Cloud Observability for observability into your system depends on the quality of your tracing instrumentation. Cloud Observability analyzes the instrumentation on your services and determines how you can improve it to make Cloud Observability work even better for you.

• Monitor Microsatellites, tracers, and service reporting

  The Reporting Status page provides an active view of the Cloud Observability Tracer clients and Microsatellites over a trailing 60-second window.

• Monitor and tune Microsatellites and Cloud Observability

  Cloud Observability performance is based on the ingress and egress of data from the tracers to the Microsatellites and the amount of memory the Microsatellites have to store that data. You can monitor the performance of Cloud Observability and tune the tracers and Microsatellites to avoid dropped spans.
