SUSE announced new observability capabilities as part of the general availability of SUSE Rancher Prime 3.1.

The introduction of comprehensive observability capabilities in SUSE Rancher Prime is not just about adding another tool to infrastructure management suites – it’s about delivering tangible business outcomes. Now with observability, Rancher Prime delivers full-stack visibility, empowering organizations to minimize downtime by proactively finding and resolving issues before they impact operations and revenue.

Rancher Prime now provides real-time, context rich insight and increases efficiency by streamlining troubleshooting processes, enabling IT teams to focus on innovation rather than managing crisis. Rancher Prime ensures smoother more reliable user experiences by maintaining peak performance from edge to cloud. Leveraging Rancher Prime Observability companies can optimize their infrastructure, reduce operational risks, and enhance business agility.

The new functionality results from SUSE’s acquisition of observability vendor StackState in June and the ongoing needs for organizations as they continue to adopt modern—albeit increasingly complex—cloud-native application environments. When hundreds of microservices interact with each other across distributed infrastructure from the edge, datacenter and cloud, users need more than just traditional performance metrics. Companies benefit from increased efficiencies, and more reliable experiences, when they integrate efforts such as observability into their application engineering processes.

“As the threats of service interruptions continue, the risk of widespread outages is higher than ever and our customers need a unified view of their entire mission-critical infrastructure and applications,” said Peter Smails, SVP, General Manager, Enterprise Container Management at SUSE. “Rancher Prime Observability will enable customers to ensure reliability, accelerate troubleshooting, and maximize performance while keeping their systems running smoothly.”

With the addition of observability, Rancher Prime includes an extensive set of capabilities designed to provide comprehensive visibility into everything managed by Rancher Prime. Available via both SaaS-hosted or on-premises deployment options, the solution is ideal to enhance operational insights and efficiency for companies using Rancher Prime at scale. By integrating observability into Kubernetes environments, users can proactively monitor, detect, and remediate issues, ensuring high availability and performance across their infrastructure.

Benefits of Rancher Prime Observability include:

- Application performance monitoring: Out of the box eBPF-based visibility beyond the cluster, including components like databases, endpoints, applications, and queues.

- Automated data correlation: Rancher Prime now includes a powerful correlation engine that automatically connects metrics, events, logs, traces, and change information from various sources, creating a unified timeline that simplifies the identification of root causes and trends over time.

- Advanced dependency mapping: Automatically discover and visualize the relationships between services, applications, and infrastructure components, providing a holistic view of the IT environment. This feature helps pinpoint the exact timing and impact of changes, making troubleshooting faster and more accurate.

- Out-of-the-box connected dashboards: Centralize all observability data into user-friendly, out-of-the-box dashboards that offer real-time and historical insights. This eliminates the need for multiple tools and reduces context switching, significantly enhancing the efficiency of operations teams.

- Out-of-the box issue detection and guided remediation: Benefit from step-by-step remediation guides that leverage expert knowledge to provide proven problem-solving strategies. These guides can be customized to fit specific environments.

Rancher Prime Observability is generally available now and at no additional cost to Rancher Prime customers.
