Reference tables

Observe can accept various types of data, not limited to logs, metrics, or traces. You can send your customer list, product list, or a list of IP addresses to enrich your telemetry data. Many of our customers do this today to produce Resource datasets, which is great for short-lived associations like EC2 hosts or engineer-to-account mappings. However, since most of this business context doesn’t include specific timestamps, it needs to be refreshed periodically to prevent it from expiring in resource datasets. This is less optimal for long-lived associations like Product or Employee IDs. Reference tables offer an easy way to integrate long-lived business context with machine data.
