Engineers drown in metrics with no SLOs. What analytics practice should they apply for the DC fabric?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Collecting every counter with no SLO is like weighing every grain of sand and still not knowing if the beach is open. Pick the KPIs that prove the fabric meets citizen-facing outcomes, then alert on those. More sand does not equal more clarity.
Full Explanation
Effective fabric analytics ties metric selection to KPIs and SLOs that reflect service health—session availability, drop budgets, latency targets—rather than unbounded collection without success criteria. Blind maximum-cardinality collection creates noise; deleting dashboards or substituting anecdotes removes measurable operations discipline.
