Standardize observability by defining standard log levels, required fields, key metrics, naming conventions, and distributed tracing guidelines to ensure applications and infrastructure are monitorable and debuggable in production.

An observability baseline includes standardized logging, metrics, tracing, and alerts configurations, alongside comprehensive deployment and observability checklists to verify system monitorability before launching to production.

Set up distributed tracing by following implementation guidelines that integrate Jaeger for trace data collection and Prometheus for metrics, establishing a comprehensive baseline for tracking application performance.

Implementing this standardized observability framework requires ELK for logging, Prometheus for metrics, Jaeger for tracing, and PagerDuty for alert destinations to ensure complete system monitorability and effective incident response.

Configure structured logging and alerts by defining standard log levels, required fields, alert types, criteria, and destinations, providing a baseline for effective monitoring and incident response across infrastructure components.

Ensure observability requirements before deployment by running the setup script and utilizing the provided deployment and observability checklists to verify logging, metrics, tracing, and alerts are properly configured.
