 ## What This Is
 
-This is the observability layer for Ced's HomeLab — the system that answers the question: *"Is everything actually working?"*

-It collects metrics from every layer of the infrastructure stack, visualizes them in purpose-built Grafana dashboards, and routes alerts through Alertmanager when something breaks. Three production dashboards serve different operational needs — an executive NOC view for quick status checks, a deep drill-down dashboard for troubleshooting, and a dedicated K3s cluster dashboard for Kubernetes visibility.

 This isn't a demo. Prometheus is actively scraping targets. Grafana is displaying live data. The dashboards have been through real incidents and refined based on what actually matters during an outage.
