VMware Tanzu Observability Key Capabilities

Tanzu Observability delivers enterprise-grade observability and analytics at massive scale with granular controls, so you can roll out monitoring as a service to all your engineering teams (including developers and SREs) across the enterprise.

Instant custom metrics

Custom metrics and analytics for any cloud stack

Ingest, visualize, and correlate high-velocity metrics from applications, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud.
Instantly assess system health, crunch real-time data with advanced analytics, and see hidden anomalies earlier.
Monitor across domains with easy-to-customize and shareable dashboards, then drill down to isolate incidents.
Use histograms to track high-velocity metrics (e.g., latencies) accurately and at scale.

Smarter, proactive alerting

Smarter, proactive alerting and analytics

Proactively monitor for anomalies across your entire stack and consolidate alerting, from app to infra.
Easily turn queries and analytics into smart alerts that reduce noise and false positives.
Automate incident remediation with more accurate alerts, and forward alerts to notification services.
Centrally manage thousands of alerts created by engineering teams across the enterprise.

Metric-trace-log correlation

Faster triage with metrics, traces, histograms, and span logs

Resolve incidents faster for cloud native environments by correlating metrics to app traces and span logs.
Ask open-ended questions about your telemetry data and get answers faster.
Capture insights with more than 200 prebuilt integrations.
Fix problems faster using advanced visualizations for application, service maps, and alert views.
