## The Hook

Grafana visualizes metrics from anywhere.

## What's Good

Connects to every data source imaginable. Dashboard flexibility is unmatched. Alerting rules catch issues. The ecosystem of plugins extends capabilities.

## The Catch

Dashboard sprawl becomes a maintenance burden. Learning PromQL or LogQL takes time. Self-hosting requires infrastructure.

## Verdict

The universal observability dashboard.
