When evaluating solutions, whether to internal problems or those of our customers, I like to keep the core metrics fairly simple: will this reduce costs, increase performance, or improve the network’s reliability? It’s often taken for granted by network specialists that there is a trade-off among these three facets. Resiliency.

Monitoring vs. Observability: Understanding the Role of Each

Kentik

Common monitoring metrics are latency, packet loss, and jitter. But these metrics usually are at an individual service level, like a particular internet gateway or load balancer. The outcome of having metrics and logging at the service level is the difficulty of tracing through the system.

Avoid Stubbing Your Toe on Telemetry Changes

Honeycomb

And you find the balance of how much telemetry to sample, retaining the shape of important metrics and traces of all the errors, while dropping the rest to minimize costs. This does happen when load balancer configuration changes or services start using more HTTP codes. You build up alerts based on those errors.
