What is the primary focus of full stack monitoring?

The primary focus of full stack monitoring is on providing a comprehensive view that encompasses the entire technology stack. This includes not only monitoring the end-user experience but also assessing the health and performance of underlying infrastructure components, application performance, and the interactions between these layers.

By focusing on both the end-user experience and infrastructure health, full stack monitoring enables organizations to identify performance bottlenecks, ensure seamless application delivery, and optimize resource utilization across the entire stack. This holistic approach allows for proactive troubleshooting and greater insights into how various components affect overall performance and user satisfaction.

Monitoring infrastructure health alone would provide a limited perspective that misses critical factors affecting user experience. Similarly, focusing solely on application performance metrics would not account for potential issues arising from the underlying infrastructure or network. Lastly, concentrating only on infrastructure setup and configuration neglects the ongoing performance and relational dynamics between application, infrastructure, and end-users, which are essential for maintaining optimal service delivery.
