Visualising data effectively is critical in observability. Telemetry datasets are usually gigantic, and it's necessary to present data with a high signal to noise ratio.
Popular data visualisation tools such as Grafana enable developers to create interactive and dynamic dashboards that display real-time data. For example, a developer can create a dashboard that shows latencies over time.

Observability
Observability is the ability to understand how your application is working and behaving in production through telemetry data (logs, metrics, traces, wide events, etc.). It enables you detect, diagnose and resolve issues in your app before they impact your users and become problems.
