Time Travel

Modern microservices applications have a high degree of dynamism. Looking back in time at an issue is not so easy as objects may have disappeared because of the removal of services or scale-back. Container Observability allows you to go back in time to check what was in the environment at a point in time. Time travel helps to determine the state of change between the applications from the time of origin.

Container Observability’s Time Travel feature allows you to compare the current cluster state with previous cluster states. Some examples where Time Travel helps are:

  • Time Travel determines the cause of any entity or state change within the cluster.

  • The feature captures a snapshot of the cluster every 5 minutes.

  • Snapshots from the past 24 hours are kept in the database for analysis.

  • You can view incidents and raised tickets related to these changes in the Time Travel alerts panel.
