SolarWinds Observability is a SaaS platform unifying infrastructure, application, database, and digital experience monitoring for hybrid IT estates.
SolarWinds Observability ingests metrics, logs, and traces from on-premises and cloud infrastructure into a shared analytics model. It covers network devices, servers, Kubernetes estates, databases, and applications, with service maps that relate dependencies across hybrid environments.
The platform applies anomaly detection and alert routing so teams can triage incidents spanning infrastructure and application layers. Deployment options span SaaS and self-hosted configurations, retaining the flow, log, and synthetic signals that distributed operations groups review during outages.
Adds products that compete with one of Observability’s direct competitors but not with Observability itself. They are shaded, and Linked Through names the direct competitor each one competes with.
