The four golden signals of monitoring in SRE are <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latency-<\/strong> It is the time that is spend between the user actions and the corresponding response. This is basically the time required for servicing a request. Example- the delay when the user clicks on the web page link and the browser shows the web page. Calculating and monitoring latency can help in knowing the overall performance of your systems. Latency calculations may go wrong if you factor in HTTP 500 or failed requests into the calculation. So tracking error latency holds equal importance. The lower the latency, the better communication occurs between the group of connected devices in the organization and hence the process speed increases which in turns makes the organization more efficient and helps in speeding up time to market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic<\/strong>– It is the measure of how much demand or the volume of requests made on your system or servers.  It is basically the stress created on your system from users or transactions made in your service. Any spike in traffic can increase the stress on your system and servers causing them to respond slow. By monitoring the traffic, you can understand the experience your end users are gaining. There are various system specific metrics for monitoring the traffic like <\/p>\n\n\n\n
