Section Introduction

In this lesson, we will explore how to collect, monitor, and customize telemetry data from your service mesh to optimize performance and troubleshoot issues. Istio enhances observability by managing all traffic with Envoy proxies in the data plane, generating detailed telemetry data for every inter-service communication. Leveraging Istio allows you to gain deep insights into your services without building an observability solution from scratch. In this guide, we will walk you through the following steps:

Visualizing metrics using Prometheus and Grafana.
Enabling distributed tracing with Jaeger.
Analyzing the service mesh behavior with Kiali.

Before you begin, ensure that your environment is correctly configured with Istio to take full advantage of its observability features.

Let’s get started on enhancing your service mesh observability.
