Incidents in IT systems are often not reported before they impact the business. A bug in an API, an unexpected usage spike, or a performance degradation can go unnoticed without complete and up-to-date visibility into the environment. This is where real-time observability comes into play.

Elastic has positioned itself as one of the leading solutions to provide companies with this visibility, allowing them to work with logs, metrics and traces in a unified way. At ToBeIT, we help to integrate this platform into complex infrastructures to improve the ability to anticipate failures.

What does real-time observability provide?

Working with real-time data allows you to act before an error affects the end user or the business. The most important advantages include:

  • Immediate response to anomalies.
  • Continuous monitoring without manual intervention.
  • Reduction of mean time to resolution (MTTR).
  • Unified view of the entire environment: cloud, on-premise, microservices, etc.

Elastic provides the infrastructure and tools needed to convert technical signals into actionable information instantly.

 

Elastic’s key capabilities for real-time observability

  • Latency-free ingest of logs and metrics from servers, containers or cloud services.
  • Dynamic dashboards in Kibana, showing the updated status of all systems.
  • Integrated Machine Learning, to automatically detect unusual behavior.
  • Intelligent alerts, which are triggered by critical events or customized conditions.
  • Horizontal scalability, adapting to the growth of your infrastructure without losing performance.

You can see examples of these features in action in our guide on monitoring and observability with Elastic.

 

Real applications: from prevention to continuous improvement

  • Localization of the origin of latencies in critical applications.
  • Proactive monitoring of resources in Kubernetes environments.
  • Identification of errors in data pipelines before their impact.
  • Detailed tracking of events on distributed platforms.

Elastic allows you to trace every request, capture every error, and understand its context with precision. Its ability to correlate logs, metrics and traces makes it a key tool for technical teams looking to anticipate problems.

 

How ToBeIT applies it

Our approach is based on specific needs: high availability, incident reduction, control over dynamic environments. From ToBeIT, we help design customized solutions with Elastic, implement architectures that integrate IT observability in SAP and facilitate visualization through Grafana.

 

Prevent, not just react

Working in real time with tools like Elastic allows you to move from a reactive approach to a truly preventive one. With the right information at the right time, better decisions are made, errors are avoided and the user experience is improved.
