Level Up Observability for SolarWinds Orion with New Relic (Part 1)

Monitoring and observability are distinct yet interrelated concepts where monitoring involves measuring predefined metrics, while observability enables asking unforeseen questions to understand systemic issues better. Experienced monitoring practitioner Josh Biggley highlights the transition from traditional monitoring to improved observability, emphasizing data democratization, real-time data collection, and consolidating data into a single platform to enhance insights and decision-making across enterprises. By leveraging platforms like New Relic, professionals can unify telemetry data, reduce operational costs, and improve mean time to detect and resolve issues, ultimately driving customer satisfaction and business innovation. This approach not only simplifies troubleshooting but also fosters a collaborative environment where data can be shared and leveraged across teams to identify and address problems more effectively.
