Service Mesh Observability
Complete guide to observability patterns for Istio, Linkerd, and service mesh deployments.
When to Use This Skill
- Setting up distributed tracing across services
- Implementing service mesh metrics and dashboards
- Debugging latency and error issues
- Defining SLOs for service communication
- Visualizing service dependencies
- Troubleshooting mesh connectivity
Core Concepts
1. Three Pillars of Observability
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Observability │
├─────────────────┬─────────────────┬─────────────────┤
│ Metrics │ Traces │ Logs │
│ │ │ │
│ • Request rate │ • Span context │ • Access logs │
│ • Error rate │ • Latency │ • Error details │
│ • Latency P50 │ • Dependencies │ • Debug info │
│ • Saturation │ • Bottlenecks │ • Audit trail │
└─────────────────┴─────────────────┴─────────────────┘2. Golden Signals for Mesh
| Signal | Description | Alert Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Latency | Request duration P50, P99 | P99 > 500ms |
| Traffic | Requests per second | Anomaly detection |
| Errors | 5xx error rate | > 1% |
| Saturation | Resource utilization | > 80% |

Best Practices
Do's
- Sample appropriately - 100% in dev, 1-10% in prod
- Use trace context - Propagate headers consistently
- Set up alerts - For golden signals
- Correlate metrics/traces - Use exemplars
- Retain strategically - Hot/cold storage tiers
Don'ts
- Don't over-sample - Storage costs add up
- Don't ignore cardinality - Limit label values
- Don't skip dashboards - Visualize dependencies
- Don't forget costs - Monitor observability costs
