Customer context

Wangxiaobao provides AIoT and data services for sales-intelligence scenarios. Its published story describes monitoring expanding from individual systems to multi-cloud resources and core business workflows.

Existing open-source tools addressed specific monitoring needs, but environments and business paths retained separate data and alert entry points.

Across complex scenarios, the team needed one way to understand system health, fault boundaries, cross-cloud dependencies, and alert context.

Local monitors could not explain complex paths

Multi-cloud resources, microservices, and business workflows lacked a shared object model, forcing investigators to change platforms.

Local monitors could not explain complex paths

Fault isolation depended on manual experience

Information remained separate across teams, leaving major events without a shared evidence set and timeline.

Fault isolation depended on manual experience

Repeated alerts consumed operator attention

Several tools produced duplicate or low-value notifications that had to be sorted before useful investigation began.

Repeated alerts consumed operator attention

Implementation

Connect full-stack data with DataKit and shared tags

DataKit collected runtime data from different environments while common tags related metrics, logs, traces, and resources by service and environment.

Represent resource relationships in a cross-cloud topology

Compute resources and dependencies across clouds entered a shared topology for drill-down from health state to related objects and monitoring configuration.

Correlate traces, logs, and metrics for microservices

Call topology reconstructed request paths and placed related logs, metrics, and alerts in the same time context to help identify a fault boundary.

What changed

System health gained a shared view

Operators could review anomalies by service, cloud environment, and resource relationship without maintaining separate incident narratives.

Alerts could be grouped around objects

Shared tags and topology provided a basis for grouping repeated signals by service and resource.

Multi-cloud dependencies entered one investigation

Cross-cloud resource state could be reviewed together with microservice traces, logs, and metrics.

Platform work shifted towards data quality

After consolidating separate entry points, teams could focus on tag standards, alert policies, and reliability workflows.

Frequently asked questions

What does DataKit collect in the Wangxiaobao story?

The story describes full-stack runtime data across multiple cloud environments, related through shared resource, service, trace, log, and metric tags. Exact inputs depend on integrations and permissions.

How does cross-cloud topology support troubleshooting?

It shows compute resources, services, and dependency relationships so a team can continue from an abnormal object into related traces, logs, metrics, and alerts.

Does a unified platform guarantee a fixed alert or cost improvement?

No. It provides aggregation, correlation, and governance capabilities. Results depend on tag quality, rules, data volume, retention, and team process.
