Log vs Network Data: Which Wins Full‑Link Monitoring in Modern Distributed Systems?

With the shift from monolithic to distributed architectures, this article compares log‑based and network‑data‑based monitoring across data sources, precision, monitoring paths, and implementation methods, concluding that network‑data monitoring offers superior real‑time insight, lower cost, and faster deployment for full‑link observability.
