Observability Overview
Oracle Backend for Microservices and AI ships with a fully integrated observability stack powered by SigNoz, providing metrics, logs, and distributed traces out of the box. Applications deployed to the platform automatically export telemetry data via OpenTelemetry — no additional infrastructure setup required.
What's Included
- Metrics — Application and infrastructure metrics collected via OpenTelemetry and Micrometer, with 20+ pre-installed dashboards
- Logs — Centralized log aggregation with filtering and search
- Traces — Distributed tracing across microservices with request correlation
- Database Monitoring — Oracle Database metrics via the built-in database exporter
- Kafka Monitoring — End-to-end visibility for Kafka clusters, producers, and consumers
