Why Do Most ‘Full-Stack Observability’ Tools Miss the Network?

Tech leaders are often led to believe that they have “full-stack observability.” The MELT framework—metrics, events, logs, and traces—became the industry standard for visibility. However, Robert Cowart, CEO and Co-Founder of ElastiFlow, believes that this MELT framework leaves a critical gap.

In the latest episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, host Dana Gardner, President and Principal Analyst at Interabor Solutions, sits down with Cowart to discuss network observability and its vitality in achieving full-stack observability.

The speakers discuss the limitations of legacy observability tools that focus on MELT and how this leaves a significant and dangerous blind spot. Cowart emphasises the need for teams to integrate network data enriched with application context to enhance troubleshooting and security measures.
