In an increasingly complex IT landscape, the integration of Elastic Observability and StackState enhances the ability to manage and troubleshoot dynamic environments by combining Elastic's robust data foundation with StackState's real-time topology insights. As systems grow more autonomous, the challenge lies in extracting actionable insights from vast amounts of data. Elastic provides a unified view of monitoring data, while StackState enriches this with a time-traveling topology that tracks changes and dependencies, crucial for pinpointing root causes of performance issues. This partnership eliminates the need for data duplication, leveraging Elastic's storage solutions, and allows StackState to utilize existing Elastic data to enhance problem-solving capabilities. This collaboration aims to automate root cause analysis, making it easier to navigate the complexities of modern cloud-native environments and prevent issues before they arise, while allowing users to efficiently manage data storage and compute resources.
