A program manager says the permit platform already has logs, so it has full observability. How should engineers clarify the gap?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Logs are diary entries, metrics are the scoreboard, traces are the map. Having a diary does not mean you have the whole observability toolkit.
Full Explanation
Observability typically combines logs (event detail), metrics (aggregates and SLIs), and traces (request paths). Logs alone do not automatically supply metrics and traces. Billing dashboards are not a substitute for runtime observability, and metrics do not universally replace logs for user workflows.
