Google Cloud Observability Reviews & Product Details

I use mainly Cloud Logging and Tracing, and I like the provided APIs and provided documentation. They are very concise and easy to use.

I like the filtering on the logging interface. Although I sometimes prefer to use the old UI (maybe due to habit)

I like how easy it is to use Cloud Tracing together with OpenCensus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some things that I would like to see improved:

Tracing for multi threading and asynchronous operations

Maybe an improvement in the trace viewer. For example:

- the first few times I could not wrap my head around the time measurement graphs)

- the hide button for traces doesn't really make sense in how it works. It's shown on the same level as it's child elements, which sometimes leads me to hide traces I want to examine. I'd like to see a design where it is more clear if a trace is a child Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Here the most important usage of GCP stack drivers is that we can get the metrics and logs of drives timely manner.

That helps developers or engineers to have a track and find the issue if any by inspecting into the logs and metric spikes and application errors, and also while deployments as well. This has a continuous guard setup, continuous integration and delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least I can say is that an engineer should have at least knowledge of the metrics and GCP basic a normal engineer will not be able to work on it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only downside of using Cloud Operations is cost. It charges you for amount of data ingested instead of amount of data stored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
