Getting Telco Observability Right With Red Hat
Red Hat News, Friday, March 21st, 2025
In the introductory article of this series, we discussed fault management and performance management (FM/PM) and how it's a critical domain for telco operators. An important part of FM/PM is observability, because you can't effectively manage what you can't see.
Observability needs a single pane of observability of the entire network and services, including the hardware and software components. The challenge is integrating diverse monitoring, telemetry, and alerting systems components into one interface that can provide real-time insights across the entire telecom infrastructure. In this article, we look at characteristics of some of the most sought-after requirements from telco operators when observing and monitoring solutions for their networks.
