Introducing System Datasets: Observing the Observability Platform
Blog post from Coralogix
Coralogix has introduced System Datasets, a feature that transforms the observability platform into a more transparent, queryable system, allowing users to gain better insights into platform operations. These datasets expose user and platform activity as first-class data, making it easier to analyze costs, improve alert quality, and audit access and configuration changes. Stored as Parquet files and accessible via DataPrime, System Datasets are managed separately from production telemetry, ensuring governance and security. At launch, these datasets include detailed records of query executions, alert histories, notification deliveries, and authentication events, enabling teams to address operational questions and optimize performance. The introduction of System Datasets marks a shift towards treating observability platforms as governable systems that scale with organizational needs, with future plans to expand data exposure to additional areas.
