:open:
* **Log monitoring and analytics:** Centralize and analyze petabytes of log data from any source. This enables quick searching, ad-hoc queries with ES|QL, and visualization with prebuilt dashboards to diagnose issues.
* **Application Performance Monitoring (APM):** Gain code-level visibility into application performance. By collecting and analyzing traces with native OTel support, teams can identify bottlenecks, track errors, and optimize the end-user experience.
* **Infrastructure monitoring:** Monitor metrics from servers, virtual machines, containers, and serverless environments with over 400 out-of-the-box integrations, including OpenTelemetry. This provides deep insights into resource utilization and overall system health.
* **AI-powered log analysis with Streams**: Ingest raw logs in any format directly to a single endpoint without the need for complex agent management or manual parsing pipelines. Streams leverages AI to automatically parse, structure, and analyze log data on the fly.

<!--
Elastic {{observability}} provides unified observability across applications and infrastructure. It combines logs, metrics, application traces, user experience data, and more into a single, integrated platform.
This consolidation allows for powerful, cross-referenced analysis, enabling teams to move from detecting issues to understanding their root causes quickly and efficiently.
By leveraging the search and analytics capabilities of {{es}}, it offers a holistic view of system behavior.

Elastic {{observability}} embraces open standards like OpenTelemetry for flexible data collection, and offers scalable, cost-efficient data retention with tiered storage.

## Core concepts [observability-concepts]

At the heart of Elastic {{observability}} are several key components that enable its capabilities.

:::{dropdown} Concepts
* The three pillars of {{observability}} are:

* [**Metrics:**](/solutions/observability/infra-and-hosts/analyze-infrastructure-host-metrics.md) Numerical measurements of system performance and health over time.
* [**Traces:**](/solutions/observability/apm/traces.md) Representations of end-to-end journeys of requests as they travel through distributed systems.
* [**OpenTelemetry:**](/solutions/observability/apm/opentelemetry/index.md) {{Observability}} offers first-class, production-grade support for OpenTelemetry. This allows organizations to use vendor-neutral instrumentation and stream native OTel data without proprietary agents, leveraging the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry (EDOT).

This includes zero-config anomaly detection, pattern analysis, and the ability to surface correlations and root causes.
* **[Alerting](/solutions/observability/incident-management/alerting.md) and [Cases](/solutions/observability/incident-management/cases.md):** Allows you to create rules to detect complex conditions and perform actions. Cases allows teams to stay aware of potential issues and track investigation details, assign tasks, and collaborate on resolutions.
* [**Service Level Objectives (SLOs):**](/solutions/observability/incident-management/service-level-objectives-slos.md) A framework for defining and monitoring the reliability of a service. Elastic {{observability}} allows for creating and tracking SLOs to ensure that performance targets are being met.
