Learn how to collect logs, metrics, uptime and APM data, and then ship them to a single datastore — Elasticsearch.
Course summary
Observability is an attribute of a system you build, much like usability, high availability, and stability. The goal of designing and building an observable system is to make sure that when it is running, operators responsible for it can detect undesirable behaviors and have actionable information to pin down the root cause in an effective manner. This course provides a strong foundation on using Elastic to implement unified observability with a single platform. You will learn how to collect logs, metrics, uptime and APM data, and then ship them to a single datastore — Elasticsearch. You will also learn how unified observability data can be made even more actionable through machine learning and alerting, as well as easier to correlate data across different sources. Using Kibana, you will also explore how to visualize your observability data through an intuitive user interface. After completing this course, you will be well on your way to becoming an Elastic Certified Observability Engineer.
