Virtana Application Observability White Paper

Each request spans containers, Kubernetes objects, infrastructure, storage, and network dependencies. Traditional APM can show which span slowed down, but frequently cannot correlate performance across the full delivery system to establish clear root cause and ownership.

This technical white paper details how Virtana Application Observability (AO):

• Connects request behavior to the orchestrator and underlying infrastructure
• Correlates traces, logs, events, and topology into a unified investigation workflow
• Identifies where latency was introduced — service, runtime, infrastructure, or shared workload
• Supports hybrid environments across Kubernetes, VMs, bare metal, storage, and network
• Enables guided remediation with human-in-the-loop automation

If your investigations stall at the boundary between traces and infrastructure, this paper explains the architecture, data model, and operational workflow that closes the gap.

What You’ll Gain

• A technical breakdown of AO capabilities
• Architectural insight into trace-aware topology and root cause automation
• Real-world use cases (hybrid incident triage, Kubernetes contention, service impact modeling)
• Clear differentiation from APM-only approaches
