Configuring Observability Resource

You can configure the observability resource at the global level or at the data plane level. Observability resource configured at a global level can be applied to all data planes. It is not applied by default. You must link the data planes to the global resource. Observability resource at the data plane level applies specifically to the chosen data plane.

You can use either the global scope resource or the data plane scope resource for a data plane at any given time. Global scope allows multiple data planes to be linked to the same set of observability stack for collecting the telemetry data. This allows observability and monitoring of telemetry data across data planes in a single view.

The following are some of the scenarios for using global scope observability resource:

• Traces that span across data plane when an app in data plane A is invoking an app in data plane B.

• Metrics that monitor the high CPU or memory usage of apps in all data planes.

• Logs from multiple app instances in multiple data planes to be collated in a single view sorted by time.

Configuring Observability Resource at the Global level

Procedure
1. In the TIBCO Control Plane UI, click Data Planes.

2. Click Global configuration in the upper-right corner.

   

3. Click Configure observability stack.
4. Specify the configuration for Logs Server, Traces Server, and Metrics Server. For more information about the configuration fields, refer Observability Resource.
5. Click Save.

Configuring Observability Resource at the Data Plane level

Procedure
1. In TIBCO Control Plane UI, click Data Planes.
2. Click the data plane card for which you want to configure the Observability resource.

3. Click Data Plane Configuration and then navigate to the Observability page.

   

4. Perform one of the following tasks:
   • To use the global resource for the data plane, click Use Global resource.
   • To create a separate observability resource at the data plane level with the same global resource configuration, click Edit and Apply.
   • To create a new observability resource at the data plane level, click Add new observability resource for this data plane.
5. Specify the configuration for Logs Server, Traces Server, and Metrics Server. For more information about the configuration fields, refer Observability Resource.
6. Click Save.
