Grafana Labs has introduced Application Observability within Grafana Cloud, enhancing its existing LGTM Stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) to provide an out-of-the-box solution for application monitoring. This new capability aims to reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) and improve application reliability by offering preconfigured dashboards, workflows, and alert setups, enabling users to detect anomalies and identify root causes quickly. With native support for OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, Application Observability allows users to utilize OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation and PromQL-based query languages, ensuring flexibility and avoiding vendor lock-in. The platform facilitates seamless correlation of metrics, logs, and traces across different layers of applications, using tools like the Service Map view and distributed traces to pinpoint issues effectively. An example of its application is demonstrated through the OpenTelemetry Community Demo, highlighting its ability to troubleshoot and resolve elevated error rates in microservices. The feature is available to all Grafana Cloud users, including those on the free tier, and is designed to integrate easily with existing telemetry systems.
