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.
