Observability

Observability lets us understand a system from the outside, by letting us ask questions about that system without knowing its inner workings. Furthermore, allows us to easily troubleshoot and handle novel problems and helps us answer the question, “Why is this happening?”.
In order to be able to ask those questions of a system, the application must be properly instrumented. That is, the application code must emit signals such as logs, metrics, and traces.

The Axual Kafka platform can be closely monitored using Logging, Metrics and Distributed Tracing.
