Observability X-Ray
| Practice code | Practice area(s) | Practice name | Practice description | Practice applicability | Practice technology(ies) | Implementation steps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OBS101 | [x] Observability | Observability X-Ray | Technique to visually and structurally evaluate observability coverage and maturity in critical applications, identifying "blind spots" in the technology stack. | Applicable to critical applications with complex or fragmented monitoring stacks. | Monitoring and observability platforms (e.g., Dynatrace, Zabbix); Telemetry (MELT: Metrics, Events, Logs, Traces). | 1. Define application architecture and critical flow; 2. Map logical layers (Infrastructure, Application, User); 3. Evaluate monitoring coverage for each component; 4. Validate SRE best practices (Golden Signals, Actionable Alerts); 5. Identify gaps and record improvements in the backlog. |
