Optimizing cloud resources and cost with APM metadata in Elastic Observability
From left to right, we want to focus on the very first chart. We have the bars representing the CPU as average in green and 95th percentile in blue on top. It goes from 0 to 100% and is normalized, meaning that even with 8 CPU cores, it will still read 100% usage and not 800%. The line graph represents the transaction duration, the average being in red, and the 95th percentile … [Read more...] about Optimizing cloud resources and cost with APM metadata in Elastic Observability
