Public sector IT environments now span agencies, multi-cloud deployments, and air-gapped systems that legacy monitoring tools were never designed to see across. The cost of that gap is measurable: $193 million in public sector downtime last year, plus delayed benefits, stalled emergency response, and erosion of citizen trust that compounds long after the systems come back up.

This Elastic ebook walks through how agencies are rebuilding observability around a data mesh, open standards, and AI. Inside the guide:

• How a data mesh delivers unified visibility without moving or duplicating sensitive data
• Why OpenTelemetry adoption is becoming a hedge against vendor lock-in across federal, state, and local systems
• How AIOps surfaces “unknown unknowns” before they reach citizens or mission outcomes
• What changes when SIEM, endpoint, and observability data live in the same platform
• A 7-category checklist to benchmark your current observability stack against modern requirements
