Greg Campion is the monitoring expert who joins Shaun to discuss observability in this episode. 

According to Greg, observability is observing a system in the sense that you take in as much of it as you can, without necessarily looking at something specific. For him, it's about the ability to observe things from a much wider perspective.

Here's what Greg discusses: 

• The development of observability from simple logs through to the single pane of glass (with this article as our reference point)
• The challenges of incorporating observability into existing systems
• The difference between observability and monitoring
• Why Greg is so fascinated by observability.

Greg also wrote a blog post in 2019 called The rise of observability that is worth a read. He also covered observability in a video about the future of infrastructure: Why we won't care about infrastructure anymore 
Things mentioned in this episode:

• Monitorama conference
• Brendan Gregg's article on the USE method
