Grafana just launched it’s 2023 Observability report
Here’s the top 5 key findings they’ve discovered…..
1. Companies are juggling lots of tools and data sources.
More than two-thirds of active Grafana users are pulling four or more data sources into Grafana. In addition, most teams are using at least four observability tools, while some organizations are using dozens.
2. Organizations are at different stages in their observability journey.
Most respondents have centralized observability, but nearly one-third still haven’t; some industries are further along than others.
3. Consolidated observability saves time and money.
Among companies that have centralized observability, 83% have saved time or money; many of those who haven’t jumped on board say they are eager to do the same.
4. Accountability and market maturity come to observability.
Most companies are using or considering service level indicators (SLIs) or service level objectives (SLOs), and respondents are eager to see the observability market continue to grow and mature.
5. Not all ROI is the same.
Different organizations have different objectives with their observability strategies. Yes, saving money is the overarching goal, but there are multiple paths to get there, including MTTx improvements, less toil and infrastructure maintenance, better adoption, a consistent developer experience, less complexity, SLOs, better capacity planning, and better alerting and visibility.
Centralized observability saves other teams from having to build their own monitoring infrastructure.
