Gartner® : Observability Tool Consolidation Must Begin With Event Intelligence
Tool consolidation initiatives often fail to deliver value because they do not result in significant noise reduction or do not create a single source of truth for I&O teams.
Gartner® recommends that I&O leaders invest in event intelligence solutions (EIS) to create a single source of truth by prioritizing the consolidation of information-rich event data over tool integration.
Learn why event intelligence is key to tool consolidation, and why our key takeaways from the Gartner insights include:
- Exercising caution with rule-based correlation engines.
- Choosing KPIs that track how noise reduction improves I&O efficiency.
- Creating a long-term plan for aggregated telemetry data.
