Telemetry
/təˈlemətrɪ/noun
Automated collection and transmission of data about a system's performance, usage, and health to a remote monitoring service. Software telemetry typically includes metrics (CPU, latency), events (errors, deployments), and logs — giving operators a live picture of system behavior at scale.
“The telemetry data showed a spike in error rates 10 minutes before the outage was reported.”
Trace
/treɪs/noun
The PlatPhorm distributed observability and tracing service (trace.platphormnews.com) that records the journey of requests across the network graph. A trace is an end-to-end record of a single operation as it propagates through multiple services, enabling root-cause analysis of latency and errors.
“Check the trace dashboard to see exactly where the request slowed down across the network.”
