Frequently asked questions

What is OCI observability?

OCI observability refers to the ability to gain visibility into the behavior and performance of workloads running on OCI. It involves analyzing telemetry data across infrastructure, applications, and services to understand system interactions, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot issues faster.

Why is observability important for OCI environments?

OCI environments often run distributed applications, databases, and cloud-native workloads. Observability helps teams understand how these components interact, identify performance issues, and maintain reliability as environments scale across regions, availability domains, and services.

What is the difference between monitoring and observability in OCI?

Monitoring focuses on tracking predefined metrics and alerts to identify when something goes wrong in an OCI environment. Observability goes a step further by analyzing telemetry across infrastructure, applications, and services to understand why an issue occurred. By correlating all signals in the system, observability helps teams identify root causes, understand service dependencies, and troubleshoot complex issues in distributed OCI environments.
