Deploying an Observability Stack in One Line of Code*
summary
Claims a full observability stack launches with one line of code using Docker Compose and containers. Actual build uses an openmetrics exporter, Telegraph as collector, Prometheus for time‑series storage and Grafana dashboards auto‑imported, with demo correlations between SQL Server metrics and flash array volumes (shows a 60% CPU spike and a 38 second app delay). Demo reveals a scalability mistake—pushing vs pulling metrics—so next step is switching Telegraph → Influx; collection interval detail matters (examples use ~30s).
