Episode description
Have you got complete monitoring of your software in effect? Are you sure? Google's SREs break monitoring down to white box versus black box monitoring.
It's not the same as internal versus external monitoring, which we'll explore further.
We'll cover topics like:
- (quickly) What is monitoring?
- What is whitebox monitoring?
- What is black box monitoring?
- The rising importance of blackbox monitoring
This is a concept from Chapter 6 (Monitoring Distributed Systems) of the Google SRE (2016) book. Chapter written by Rob Ewaschuk and edited by Betsy Beyer.
