Monitoring and Observability, From Built-In to Best-of-Breed
SCOM, Prometheus, Grafana, and the Metrics That Matter
You built the cluster. You connected the storage. You migrated the VMs. Everything’s running.
Now how do you know it’s healthy at 3am?
Moving from “it works in the lab” to “it runs in production” isn’t about adding more VMs. It’s about proving your environment is healthy, knowing when it’s not, and understanding why before your users file a ticket. That requires observability , not a dashboard you glance at, but a system that collects, correlates, and alerts on the data your infrastructure produces.
