1. Applications, services, and containers produce three types of signals: logs, metrics, and traces.

1. Collectors such as Fluent Bit and Data Prepper transform and enrich these signals.

1. The collectors forward the data to different data stores. [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/what-is.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/what-is.html) stores traces and logs received from OpenSearch Data Prepper. Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus stores metrics received from AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry metric scrapers.

1. Users create interactive dashboards and visualizations with this signal data. They use tools such as Amazon OpenSearch Dashboards and Amazon Managed Grafana.

1. These visualization tools use data stored in and Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus to present information.
