Tracepath-based alert
As with containers, alerts are created when traces show anomalies. Typically, these are driven by breaches on SLOs on response time on the trace or when errors are detected.
Since detecting alerts on individual traces is challenging given the large number of traces an application can generate per monitoring period or scrape interval, Container Observability detects anomalies in traces by detecting them on Tracepaths which are the common business flows that group traces sharing the same flow.
With Container Observability’s Tracepath-based alerting, users can
Automatically detect anomalous Tracepaths that contain the traces that show response time anomalies or errors without searching for them.
Drill down to the individual traces from the anomalous Tracepaths. For more details, view Trace Paths.
