Observability

Warning

Beta Notice: COS for robotics is currently in beta. Content and features may change, and some functionality may be incomplete or experimental. Feedback is welcome as we continue to improve.

COS for robotics stands for Canonical Observability Stack for robotics, and is a superset of COS Lite.

This section explains how Canonical’s observability framework extends to robotic systems—connecting devices, applications, and cloud components into one monitoring and data-sharing pipeline.
