Applied observability defined

(a) Observability is the ability to understand what is happening inside a system based on the external data released by that system. Observability requires that actionable data from multiple sources is appropriately connected, optimized and enhanced for context. 

(b) Observable data refers to any variable that can be observed and directly measured. For an enterprise, it often comes from one or more existing IT systems. 

(c) Applied observability is the applied use of observable data in a highly orchestrated and integrated approach across business functions, applications, and infrastructure and operations teams. It enables shortening the time between stakeholder actions and organizational reactions, and so allows proactive planning of business decisions.
