Many observability tools only instrument popular open source frameworks. A common path to deeper visibility requires code modification with manual instrumentation. However, SRE’s don't always have the ability to directly modify applications they are responsible for supporting. This restriction is often in place due to separation of job responsibility, or because the application is provided by an external vendor.
