The New Relic Observability Forecast 2022 is the industry's largest survey of IT professionals and decision makers to understand the current state of observability. Their definition of observability is the ability to measure the performance of a system and identify problems and errors based on its external outputs.

The 2022 Observability Forecast offers a detailed view of how this practice is shaping the engineering and technologies of the future. Of those with mature observability practices, 100% indicated that observability improves revenue retention by deepening their understanding of customer behaviors, compared to 34% with less mature practices.

According to the report's definition of full observability, only 27% of companies surveyed have achieved it. And an even smaller percentage - 3% - said their organization has already prioritized full-stack observability. Full observability, as used in this report, is achieved by organizations that deploy specific combinations of observability capabilities, including customer experience/DEM (front-end) monitoring, service monitoring , log management and environment monitoring (back-end).< /p>

The data confirms a strong correlation between achieving or prioritizing full-stack observability and decreasing failures, improving failure detection rates, and improving resolution. For example, 34% of respondents who indicated they had already prioritized or achieved full stack observability were also less likely to experience the most frequent high-impact outages (once a week or more). ), compared to 52% who had no.

MetaBeat will bring together thought leaders to advise on how metaverse technology will transform the way all industries communicate and do business on October 4 in San Francisco, CA.

Furthermore, 68% of respondents who said they had already prioritized or achieved full stack observability also said it took less than 30 minutes to detect high business impact outages, compared to 44% who had not.

The research implies that the ideal state of observability is where engineering teams monitor the entire technology stack at all stages of the software development lifecycle, use observability practice features mature and have unified telemetry data and a unified dashboard or visualization of that data — ideally in a single, consolidated platform. Almost half of them answer...
