The Cisco Observability Platform is an open, extensible, API-driven platform that empowers a new observability ecosystem and delivers impactful business insights. It is a unified platform built on OpenTelemetry (an open-source project by CNCF) and anchored on metrics, events, logs, and traces (MELT), enabling extensibility from queries to data models with a composable UI framework. 

As of November 27, 2023, the Cisco Full-Stack Observability (FSO) Platform is now the Cisco Observability Platform, and Cloud Native Application Observability is now Cisco Cloud Observability powered by the Cisco Observability Platform. These name changes better align our products with the Cisco portfolio and with our business strategy.
