Many observability tools fail to provide us with the relevant insights for understanding hardware health and utilization. Whether due to incomplete instrumentation of key components or resolution that’s too coarse to capture brief or intermittent disturbances, we’re often left with gaps in our understanding and questions left unanswered. In this talk, we’ll explore techniques and technologies for getting a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of hardware health and utilization. With more comprehensive hardware telemetry we can pinpoint issues or exonerate components. We can finally answer the questions we have and unlock better performance.
