Tetrate Istio Subscription Plus Capabilities

Unified Observability Dashboard

TIS Plus offers a centralized dashboard for metrics, traces, and logs, providing a holistic view of your Istio-enabled services

TIS Plus's observability model allows for flexible configuration of monitoring policies, including service metrics, distributed tracing, and centralized logging. This unified approach enables teams to quickly identify and resolve issues across their entire service mesh.

TIS Plus uses service identities rather than L4 identities, providing greater insight in dynamic environments. Service identity is powered by Istio, giving every workload a verifiable identity that can be tracked and monitored at runtime.

Multi-Cluster Visibility

TIS Plus scales across clusters, providing a comprehensive view of services regardless of their location

TIS Plus simplifies cross-cluster observability. It does so in an efficient, dynamic and scalable manner. TIS Plus collects just the necessary observability data from each cluster, providing a directory of the services available within each cluster to the central dashboard.

Service Topology Visualization

TIS Plus provides clear visualization of service interactions across your entire mesh

TIS Plus makes understanding the entire service topology simple by consolidating the metrics from every cluster enrolled in the service mesh into a single view. This means you can visualize application communication and topologies across clusters, availability zones, and regions, in a consistent fashion and without requiring any application modifications.

Global Observability

Observe traffic, logs, traces and events across all clusters, from a single point of control

TIS Plus exposes detailed operational metrics (RED - Rate, Error, Duration), centralizes the logging from every application in the mesh, and gathers distributed traces for troubleshooting and performance analysis.

Service Metrics

TIS Plus provides a service-centric view, giving a single view of an application's health regardless of where it is deployed or what versions exist:

Distributed Tracing

Traces provide a detailed call graph to help understand performance and error cases:

Workspace-Based Access Control

TIS Plus implements fine-grained access control based on the 'Workspace' concept

TIS Plus's access control policies are based on the 'Workspace' concept. This provides a convenient, higher-level abstraction that aligns with the way applications are deployed and is separate from the underlying network and Kubernetes deployment choices. Platform operators can define workspaces to give application teams access to only the observability data relevant to their services.
