Observability documentation

Highly-integrated, low-operations observability stack powered by Juju and Kubernetes.

The Canonical Observability Stack (COS) gathers, processes, visualizes, and alerts on telemetry generated by workloads running both within, and outside of, Juju.

By leveraging the topology model of Juju to contextualize the data, and charm relations to automate configuration and integration, it provides a low-ops observability suite based on best-in-class, open-source observability tools.

For Site Reliability Engineers, COS provides a turn-key, out-of-the-box solution for improved day-2 operational insight.
