AWS Observability
with Logz.io
Open 360

Today’s cloud apps and infrastructure are more complex than ever. Built on rapidly-evolving microservices, they demand advanced observability to ensure maximum uptime and performance. At the same time, ease of use and cost-efficiency are critical requirements.

The Logz.io Open 360™ observability platform quickly enables full stack observability for AWS-native applications, delivering centralized visibility and powerful troubleshooting, with optimal data and cost efficiency.

Employ a single observability interface for AWS services across logs, metrics and traces:

Dedicated solutions for Kubernetes monitoring and applications observability
AI-backed querying, anomaly detection, investigation and response
OpenTelemetry-based data collection with automated discovery and configuration

Unified observability for every AWS workload

Simple, straightforward AWS data collection based on OpenTelemetry:

Send all of your telemetry data and begin monitoring new services faster than ever
Direct integration for EKS, EC2, ELB, CloudWatch and other core AWS services
Automate service discovery and application instrumentation with Easy Connect

Rapid data collection and integration for every critical AWS service

Observability isn’t a differentiator for our business or our products – it’s something that enables our success. We don’t want to build it. We don’t want to write custom content for it. We just want something that works for us and for our use case, and Logz.io does just that.

Logz.io is recommended in the AWS Well-Architected Management & Governance Lens – which offers best practices for management and governance across AWS environments.

What value does unified observability provide beyond native AWS services?

While AWS provides a huge array of cloud services – including managed services and related monitoring capabilities – most organizations demand full stack observability that unifies telemetry data across logs, metrics and traces to maintain ended-to-end visibility into their applications and infrastructure. Logz.io Open 360 brings all the relevant data together in a unified platform.

Why is it so important to gain detailed observability into AWS services?

Today’s cloud applications and infrastructure – often supporting an ephemeral web of ever evolving application microservices – are more complex and challenging to manage than ever before. Dedicated observability in the form of the Logz.io Open 360 platform enables organizations to ensure optimal performance and uptime, while making the most of available resources.

How does observability transcend traditional log management?

Log Management remains a critical requirement for organizations seeking to monitor their systems; however, by combining logs with powerful metrics that surface the state of related infrastructure and intricate traces that enable services-based investigation into applications performance, organizations gain far more detailed and conclusive ability to understand their environments.

How does observability go beyond traditional applications monitoring?

In addition to unifying and correlating a wider range of available telemetry than traditional, siloed monitoring tools and practices, observability provides the ability to maintain more real-time and detailed visibility into cloud applications and infrastructure. Rather than taking a threshold-based approach to alerting based on limited indicators, observability offers SLO-based analysis.

What AWS services integrate with the Logz.io Open 360 platform?

Logz.io Open 360 can ingest data from nearly any native AWS service. Purpose-built integrations support many of the most popular AWS cloud services utilized today to build, maintain and secure cloud applications and infrastructure, including EC2, S3, RDS, AWS Data Transfer, ELB, CloudTrail, Route53, SageMaker, CloudWatch and Kinesis Firehose, among others.

How challenging is it to move from AWS monitoring to full stack observability?

Migration onto Logz.io Open 360 can be accomplished quickly using the Logz.io Telemetry Collector agent, based on OpenTelemetry. AWS users can collect any data from any source and manage every agent installation in one view – gaining immediate insight into their environments, while eliminating the need for a manual configuration, regardless of telemetry type.
