Distributed Tracing: the missing context in troubleshooting services at scale Prior to Edgar, our engineers had to sift through a mountain of metadata and logs pulled from various Netflix microservices in order to understand a specific streaming failure experienced by any of our members.

Let me walk you through how I have built my Dynatrace Performance Insights Dashboard showing SLIs split by Test Name as well as SLIs for the specific technology and infrastructure: Enriching your load testing scripts with meta data allows building test context specific SLI-dashboards in Dynatrace. Step #3: Tagging of services.

The interactive dashboards allow users to parse through increased data volumes with straightforward, intuitive visualizations of data in context for easy collaboration between siloed teams. “The struggle we have today is that access to data is really gated and siloed and also lacks context,” says Schumacher.

But putting all the data points into context to gain actionable insights can’t be achieved without automation in web-scale environments. Also, if you don’t add more context like user experience or interdependencies between components you’ll find critical information is missing.

Teams get bogged down manually tagging data, reacting to alert storms, switching between disconnected dashboards, tediously trying to restore and correlate observability data from an archive, or interpreting incomplete data because of sampling or lack of retention. But teams encounter challenges when they need to quickly find answers and act.

The data should be up-to-date and relevant to the current context. Another common impediment is manual data tagging and handling, an error-prone process that teams should minimize. Ensure there are no discrepancies in the data. Contradictory or inconsistent data confuses AI models and increases the risk of errors. Timeliness.
