Telemetry

Published date: April 15, 2024, Version: 1.0

In the context of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), telemetry refers to the collection, measurement, and analysis of data related to the performance, health, and reliability of a system. It involves the gathering of various metrics and events that provide insights into the system's behavior and help in understanding its overall state.

Telemetry plays a crucial role in SRE because it enables engineers to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize the system's performance and reliability. By collecting and analyzing telemetry data, SRE teams can gain valuable insights into the system's behavior, identify anomalies or issues, and make informed decisions to improve its performance.
