Description: Dependency monitoring is an approach that focuses on the relationships between services within a computer system. This type of monitoring allows system administrators and developers to understand how different components of an application interact, which is crucial for maintaining the health and performance of the system as a whole. Through specialized tools, service calls can be tracked, bottlenecks identified, and failures detected in real-time. This not only helps optimize performance but also facilitates troubleshooting by providing visibility into how dependencies affect overall operation. In a distributed computing environment, where applications are composed of multiple interconnected services, dependency monitoring becomes even more relevant, as it enables development and operations teams to manage the complexity of these interactions. Additionally, this type of monitoring can be integrated with other observability practices, such as application performance monitoring (APM) and centralized logging, to provide a more comprehensive view of the system’s state.
