Abstract

Observability in distributed systems is the ability to understand the internal state of a system from its external data. Greater observability allows faster analysis of issues encountered at runtime, helping to meet agreed service levels. Fog Computing provides computational resources close to users and it is characterised by resource constraints and heterogeneity of devices and connections. This work proposes to define and characterise the challenges of increasing the observability of systems in a fog environment. For this, a real test environment was created and configured only with open source solutions. Through an Internet of Things use case, it was possible to measure the characteristic overhead of current observability solutions and discuss the challenges of such implementation in a Fog environment.
