The Presentation stage is the last stage of the telemetry pipeline and the one that most people in the technical organization (and outside it) use to interact with telemetry. For telemetry SaaS companies, the Presentation stage is what sells their products. This chapter teaches how telemetry is presented in each of the four telemetry system styles covered in previous chapters:
- Section 5.1 covers metrics systems and how charts and aggregations are produced.
- Section 5.2 covers centralized logging systems and what features a good presentation system for centralized logging should have.
- Section 5.3 covers security systems and their specialized presentation needs.
- Section 5.4 covers distributed tracing systems and how correlation drives the value it provides.
