= Observability
|
|
|
|
Observability enables you to add and monitor your logs, system
|
|
metrics, uptime data, and application traces, as a single stack.
|
|
|
|
With *Observability*, you have:
|
|
|
|
* A central place to add and configure your data sources.
|
|
* A variety of charts displaying analytics relating to each data source.
|
|
* *View in app* options to drill down and analyze data in the Logs, Metrics, Uptime, and APM apps.
|
|
* An alerts chart to keep you informed of any issues that you may need to resolve quickly.
|
|
|
|
{kib} provides step-by-step instructions to help you add and configure your data
|
|
sources. The {observability-guide}/index.html[Observability Guide] is a good source for more detailed information
|
|
and instructions.

[[logs-app]]
|
|
== Logs
|
|
|
|
The {logs-app} in {kib} enables you to search, filter, and tail all your logs
|
|
ingested into {es}. Instead of having to log into different servers, change
|
|
directories, and tail individual files, all your logs are available in the {logs-app}.
|
|
|
|
There is live streaming of logs, filtering using auto-complete, and a logs histogram
|
|
for quick navigation. You can also use machine learning to detect specific log
|
|
anomalies automatically and categorize log messages to quickly identify patterns in your
|
|
log events.
|
|
|
|
To get started with the {logs-app}, see {observability-guide}/ingest-logs.html[Ingest logs].

[[metrics-app]]
|
|
== Metrics
|
|
|
|
The {metrics-app} in {kib} enables you to visualize infrastructure metrics
|
|
to help diagnose problematic spikes, identify high resource utilization,
|
|
automatically discover and track pods, and unify your metrics
|
|
with logs and APM data in {es}.
|
|
|
|
To get started with the {metrics-app}, see {observability-guide}/ingest-metrics.html[Ingest metrics].

[[uptime-app]]
|
|
== Uptime
|
|
|
|
The {uptime-app} in {kib} enables you to monitor the availability and response times
|
|
of applications and services in real time, and detect problems before they affect users.
|
|
You can monitor the status of network endpoints via HTTP/S, TCP, and ICMP, explore
|
|
endpoint status over time, drill down into specific monitors, and view a high-level
|
|
snapshot of your environment at any point in time.
|
|
|
|
To get started with the {uptime-app}, see {observability-guide}/ingest-uptime.html[Ingest uptime data].

[[apm-app]]
|
|
== APM
|
|
|
|
The APM app in {kib} enables you to monitors software services and applications in real time,
|
|
collect unhandled errors and exceptions, and automatically pick up basic host-level metrics
|
|
and agent specific metrics.
|
|
|
|
To get started with the APM app, see <<apm-ui,Set up the APM app>>.
