Definition
Variety describes the diversity of telemetry signals, encodings, schemas, sources, and structures handled by an observability system. It is maintained as an Observability Concept so tools can reference a stable vocabulary without treating the concept itself as a product [1].
Catalog use
This page is the canonical navigation target for the Variety catalog value. Product profiles may declare support for the concept, but that declaration does not by itself establish implementation depth, quality, or commercial availability.
