Log analytics is the process of viewing, interpreting, and querying log data so developers and IT teams can quickly detect and resolve application and system issues. At the same time, log analytics can present challenges as data volumes explode, particularly in traditional environments that lack end-to-end observability solutions.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Some disruption might occur, but it will be minimal. Fault tolerance aims for zero downtime and data loss.
