Do you find yourself asking…

  • What is observability in SolarWinds?
  • How much does SolarWinds Observability cost?
  • What are the two main deployment offerings for SolarWinds Observability?
  • What is observability vs monitoring?

SolarWinds® Observability Self-Hosted is designed to help organizations eliminate tool sprawl, ensure availability, improve visibility, and reduce remediation time across the entire IT estate. This robust platform offers seamless integration with existing systems, providing a unified view of your infrastructure. By leveraging advanced analytics and real-time monitoring, it empowers IT teams to proactively address potential issues before they escalate. The platform is scalable, catering to the needs of both small and large enterprises, and offers customizable dashboards to suit diverse operational requirements. With its intuitive interface and comprehensive reporting capabilities, businesses can make informed decisions to optimize their IT resources effectively. Moreover, the self-hosted nature of the solution allows for greater control and security over sensitive data, aligning with the compliance needs of various industries. This makes it an ideal choice for organizations looking to accelerate their digital transformation. 

The plans for SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted start at $7.42.

The two main deployment options for SolarWinds Observability are Self-Hosted and SaaS (Software as a Service). These options are designed to provide flexibility for hybrid IT environments, allowing organizations to choose between managing the infrastructure themselves or using a cloud-native solution.

SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted lets you to deploy the software within your own infrastructure, giving you control over data and configuration behind your firewall. This is best for organizations with strict compliance, security requirements, or legacy infrastructure that requires on-premises management.

SolarWinds Observability SaaS is a cloud-native, fully managed solution ideal for organizations looking for rapid deployment, lower operational overhead, and deep monitoring of cloud-native applications, user experience, and modern app performance.

Both options can be interconnected, allowing self-hosted customers to leverage SaaS for deeper insights without a total "rip-and-replace".

Monitoring tells you if a system is working (reactive, alerts on known issues), while observability tells you why it is failing (proactive, diagnoses unknown issues). Monitoring uses predefined metrics, whereas observability utilizes logs, metrics, and traces to understand complex, distributed systems. They are complementary, not replacements. In the evolving landscape of IT operations, having insight into system behavior is crucial. Effective monitoring can catch anomalies quickly, but observability provides the context needed to troubleshoot and resolve these anomalies efficiently. With the rise of microservices and cloud-native architectures, understanding the intricate interdependencies within systems has become increasingly important. 

By leveraging both approaches, organizations can enhance their capability to maintain system reliability and performance under various conditions. This synergy empowers teams to not only detect issues but to anticipate and mitigate potential problems before they impact users.
