About this extension

IoT Observability is a method to trace events throughout multiple, complex IoT systems. This extension allows you to get a high-level overview of the journey of requested data, without taking a deep dive into complex individual systems.

Distributed Tracing Extension Diagram

Distributed Tracing helps troubleshooters know where they should start looking when an issue occurs. For instance, imagine if it takes over 5 seconds to unlock a car door, there is clearly something that is causing a delay in the system.

Where did the trouble begin, did it cause other issues, and what was the knock-on effect?

Here’s what you can do with this extension:
