# 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)](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/workshops/duplocloud-101-for-aws/daily-operations-using-duplocloud/3.-observability/advanced-observability-suite-aos).

## 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
