Chasing the Wrong Metrics

Your app is slow. Your users are frustrated. And you're chasing random system metrics.
Stop. ?
Brendan Gregg’s Systems Performance drops a bombshell: You're looking in the wrong place.
You’re troubleshooting where it’s easy to see—the “light post.” ??
It’s like searching for your lost car keys under a streetlight at night. Not because that’s where you dropped them, but because it’s well-lit.
Systems Performance shatters this illusion.
The real problem? It’s in the other corners you’re ignoring.
Instead of staring at obvious, misleading metrics, look deeper:
?? Check overutilized resources.
?? Hunt for bottlenecks in the entire data path.
?? Fix the root cause, not just the symptoms.
The metrics are there. You're just searching in the wrong place. ??
