Modern Network Observability. A hands-on approach using open-source tools such as Telegraf, Prometheus, Grafana, and more

As modern IT services and software architectures like microservices rely increasingly on network performance, the relevance of networks has never been greater. Network observability has emerged as a critical evolution of traditional monitoring, providing the deep visibility needed to manage today’s complex, dynamic environments. In Modern Network Observability, authors David Flores, Christian Adell, and Josh VanDeraa leverage their extensive experience to guide you through building and deploying a flexible observability stack using open-source tools.
This book begins by addressing the limitations of monolithic monitoring solutions, showing you how to transform them into a composable, flexible observability stack. Through practical implementations, you’ll learn to collect, normalize, and analyze network data from diverse sources, build intuitive dashboards, and set up actionable alerts that help you stay ahead of potential issues. The journey continues with advanced topics, such as integrating observability data into your network automation strategy, ensuring your network operations align with business objectives, and exploring the future of observability with machine learning and AI integrations.
By the end, you'll proactively manage your network, minimize downtime, and ensure resilient, efficient, and future-proof operations.
