# AWS Application Observability and Monitoring Labs

In these labs, you'll learn how dashboards created based on metrics are instrumental in identifying the root cause of an outage and trace a transaction. You’ll use the Root Cause Explorer and Traces, powerful Observability features in Sumo Logic.

All labs assume you’re using a **training+analyst###@sumologic.com** account. The data you see may vary depending on your environment if you’re using your own credentials or a Sumo Logic trial account instead of a training account. To access a training account, see [Set Up Sumo Logic](/030_self_guided_setup/38_sumo_setup.html).
