The Network Also Needs to be Observable, Part 3: Network Telemetry Types

Kentik

In part 2 of this series, I talked about the range of network devices and observation points that generate telemetry data. Over time, this range has expanded, and networks are more diverse than ever. In this blog, I discuss the telemetry data itself. Telemetry Types. Traffic Telemetry.

The Network Also Needs to be Observable, Part 2: Network Telemetry Sources

Kentik

In part 1 of this series , I talked about the importance of network observability as our customers define it — using advances in data platforms and machine learning to supply answers to critical questions and enable teams to take critical action to keep application traffic flowing. Introduction.

Monitoring vs. Observability: Understanding the Role of Each

Kentik

They’re normally more robust and reliable than single systems, but they have a more complex network architecture. However, you likely know how inconsistent even the best networks can be. You probably already use tools to monitor your network. You probably already use tools to monitor your network.

What Is Causal Inference?

O'Reilly Media - Ideas

If I shoot the cue ball at this angle, will the 3 ball go into the corner pocket? This kind of reasoning involves imagination: we need to be able to imagine what will happen if we do X, as well as if we don’t do X. The Unreasonable Importance of Causal Reasoning. We are immersed in cause and effect. The answer is sometimes no.)

Testing Without Mocks: A Pattern Language

James Shore

James Shore/Blog. When programmers use test-driven development (TDD), the code they test interacts with other parts of the system that aren't being tested. Paranoic Telemetry. The test suite only executes "slow" code, such as network calls or file system requests, when that behavior is explicitly part of the unit under test.
