Observability

Observability is a crucial aspect of managing and maintaining your serverless applications. It provides insights into the behavior, performance, and health of your services. The Serverless Framework allows you to automatically configure observability for your services.

Enabling Observability

The Serverless Framework supports multiple observability providers. You can configure it to work with your preferred provider using the observability property within the stages block in your serverless.yml file. Below is an example of how to enable the Serverless Dashboard observability feature for the prod stage:

stages:
  prod:
    observability: dashboard

Configuring Observability

For more granular control, you can specify the observability key as an object and include additional properties. In this configuration, the provider key is required, and you must specify the desired provider.

stages:
  prod:
    observability:
      provider: dashboard
      # additional configuration options for the chosen provider
      exampleSetting: customValue
