Correlate Observability Signals

Connect metrics, logs, and traces for unified debugging across the three pillars of observability.

When to Use

• Investigating complex incidents that span multiple systems
• Reducing MTTR (mean time to resolution)
• Building unified observability dashboards
• Implementing distributed tracing
• Moving from siloed tools to unified observability

Inputs

• Required: Prometheus (metrics)
• Required: Log aggregation system (Loki, Elasticsearch, CloudWatch)
• Required: Distributed tracing backend (Tempo, Jaeger, Zipkin)
• Optional: Grafana for unified visualization
• Optional: OpenTelemetry instrumentation
