Original Summary

I&#x27;m curious if anyone feels like observability is in bad shape.<p>When I was an SRE, around 2022 we got asked to dramatically lower our DataDog costs, which mostly meant a lot of sampling and fighting over retention. We also had to turn off some features we liked like container monitoring.<p>It seems like observability is priced like interest rates are still 0%. This matters because, for example, if you are the leader of a platform team trying to get web devs to add observability, it&#x27;s a tough sell because it&#x27;s expensive.<p>Are things just fine on your team wrt observability? Or are you doing a lot of sampling&#x2F;poor retention to save costs?
