# Standard Observability

**Standard Observability** provides basic monitoring for Services and Containers, including logs, metrics, and cloud spend.

DuploCloud also offers an add-on observability service called the Advanced Observability Suite (AOS). For daily operations using the AOS, see [Advanced Observability Suite (AOS)](/docs/automation-platform/workshops/duplocloud-101-for-aws/daily-operations-using-duplocloud/3.-observability/advanced-observability-suite-aos.md).

## Prerequisites

* **Set up the Standard Observability Suite** for your Infrastructure. For instructions on enabling logging and metrics, see [Setup for the Standard Observability Suite](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/diagnostics-overview/standard-observability-suite/setup).

## Standard Dashboard

### Accessing the Standard Dashboard

1. Navigate to the Standard Observability dashboard:
   * For Administrators, navigate to: **Administrator** → **Observability** → **Standard** → **Dashboard**
   * For Tenant users, navigate to: **Observability** → **Standard** → **Dashboard**

The Dashboard shows a high-level overview of your Tenant’s cloud resources and usage including:

* **Cloud Spend:** Current month and top services by cost.
* **Resources:** Counts of Services, Containers, Databases, Buckets, and any Faults.
* **Kubernetes / Docker:** Deployed Services and Containers.
* **Logs:** Access and view logs collected from Services and Containers.
* **Metrics:** Monitor CPU, memory, and other performance metrics for your resources.
