Distributed Tracing and Events
Round out your observability toolkit with distributed tracing for request flows and Kubernetes Events for cluster-level signals.
The Three Pillars of Observability
Observability rests on three pillars: logs, metrics, and traces. You have seen logs and metrics; this lesson adds tracing, plus Kubernetes Events.
What Is Distributed Tracing?
Distributed tracing follows a single request as it travels across multiple services. It shows where time is spent and which service caused an error.
