Makisuo added Grafana as alternative to Maple Observabiltiy- fanpino commented on Grafana
We have been running Grafana on top of Prometheus and Loki for a few months to keep an eye on about a dozen containers on one box. What actually helped was the dashboard auto-provisioning through config files instead of clicking through the UI every time: spin up a new service, drop in a JSON file, done. Alerting rules are still their own small language to learn, but for just watching CPU and RAM across services, it has been solid.

Has Loads of functionality and integrates with all the major services.
We have been running Grafana on top of Prometheus and Loki for a few months to keep an eye on about a dozen containers on one box. What actually helped was the dashboard auto-provisioning through config files instead of clicking through the UI every time: spin up a new service, drop in a JSON file, done. Alerting rules are still their own small language to learn, but for just watching CPU and RAM across services, it has been solid.
Highly customisable and composable. I can pick and choose what I want and easily extend it with plugins etc.
This sets it apart from it's competitors who offer hosted solutions with a fixed (and aggressively pushed) product offering; I can use as much or as little of it as I like.
It just works for visualizing metrics without getting in the way. It’s good at handling different data sources, has decent templating for dashboards, and the alerting does what you need. The interface is straightforward once you get used to it. It does the job for both simple monitoring and more complex observability setups.
I recommend to start with https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/11900 and https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12021 or something better for desktop.
Dear Ödegaard & Coding Instinct AB, thanks for only supplying amd64 packages. You Monsters.
