What problem does it solve?

Implement and validate open-source observability infrastructure built from Prometheus, Alertmanager, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and the OpenTelemetry Collector so teams can reliably collect metrics, logs, and traces, run actionable alerting, and ship operator-focused dashboards without ad hoc configurations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Configuration and Validation: Add or update minimal coherent artifacts such as Prometheus scrape configs, recording and alerting rules, Alertmanager routing, Grafana dashboard panels, Loki label maps, Tempo wiring, and OTel collector pipelines and validate them for syntax and semantics.
• Operational Best Practices: Enforce low-cardinality metric and label design, avoid high-cardinality labels in Loki, correlate logs and traces without overloading spans, and ensure alerts have clear ownership and actionable thresholds.
• Use Cases: Onboard observability for a new backend service, add API latency dashboards and alerts, or implement log+trace correlation for debugging production incidents.
