Frequently asked questions
What is real-time observability, and why is it important?
Real-time observability gives teams immediate visibility into application, network, and security activity through logs, metrics, and other telemetry. Fastly provides real-time visibility across more than 200 performance, traffic, cache, origin, and security metrics, helping teams identify changes and investigate issues as they happen rather than relying on delayed data.
What is the difference between logs, metrics, and traces?
Logs provide detailed records of events and requests, metrics track system behavior and performance over time, and traces show how requests move through systems. Fastly brings real-time logging, metrics, and tracing together so developers, SREs, and security teams can use a shared source of data to understand application and network activity.
How does real-time logging help monitor application and network traffic?
Real-time logging streams activity as it happens, giving teams immediate insight into requests and system behavior. Fastly supports 33+ logging integrations and six protocols, allowing organizations to send live log data to the tools they already use or analyze logs directly on the Fastly platform.
How can observability provide visibility into bot and AI agent traffic?
Observability can help organizations understand how human users, bots, AI agents, and other automated systems interact with their infrastructure. Fastly combines traffic, performance, and security telemetry to help teams identify what is driving requests and better understand the impact of automated traffic on applications and infrastructure.
What should organizations look for in an observability platform?
Organizations should consider real-time logs and metrics, historical reporting, customizable dashboards and alerts, tracing, origin visibility, integrations with existing tools, and visibility into automated traffic. Fastly brings these capabilities together with more than 200 metrics and a unified view of performance, traffic, and security data from origin to edge.
