The Observability Reality: Observability practitioners are responsible for ensuring system health, performance, and availability through comprehensive data collection and analysis. Cloud costs are a significant factor influencing the budget and scope of their observability efforts.
Why Observability Practitioners Need Cloud Cost Management: The volume of data generated by observability tools can lead to substantial cloud costs (storage, processing, networking). Understanding the cost breakdown and optimizing resource utilization for these tools is crucial.
ManageEngine CloudSpend's Observability Solution: ManageEngine CloudSpend provides Observability practitioners with the visibility into the cloud costs associated with their tools and infrastructure, enabling them to make data-driven decisions to optimize both performance and spending.
Gain control over the cloud costs of your observability infrastructure, optimize resource allocation, and ensure you're getting maximum insights without overspending, all with ManageEngine CloudSpend.
Track cloud spending associated with specific observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack), allowing you to understand the cost drivers within your monitoring stack.
Analyze the storage costs for logs, metrics, and traces, identifying opportunities to optimize retention policies, compression, and storage tiering.
Understand the costs associated with data ingestion and processing pipelines, enabling you to optimize data sampling, filtering, and aggregation strategies.
Monitor network costs related to data transfer between monitored systems and your observability platform, identifying potential areas for optimization through regional deployments or data aggregation.
