- [Instructor] Monitoring some but not all things is a more realistic approach. But again, it depends on what your business case is for operations and the types of cloud systems that you're operating. The theme here is to only collect operational data that is meaningful to the true observability of those systems in terms of what's going on, what went on, and what does it mean. So, while it would be easy to turn on all IO data from all cloud storage systems by the second to watch observability trends that may indicate a problem, that data at that level of granularity is overkill. Indeed, it may be easier to gather aggregated data or data that is summarized for a specific period of time. This could be something like looking at the average IO performance data per hour that's calculated on the fly before being sent to the observability database. You can pretty much determine what you need to understand by the data, and you're…
