What it shows

  • Metrics aggregate numeric telemetry cheaply for high-level health trends.
  • Logs provide granular event snapshots but add heavy ingestion storage costs.
  • Traces correlate end-to-end user request flow across distributed services.

The takeaway

True observability ties metrics, logs, and distributed traces to a single context ID.
