Is Single Pane of Glass a myth? I feel like I've been chasing the 'Single Pane of Glass' (SPoG) for years, but the more I build towards it, the more fractured things feel.We have the 'big players' for metrics and logs, then specialized tools for traces, then a different dashboard for Kubernetes health, and maybe another for only incidents handling. Instead of a single pane, I just have a dozen different 'panes' open in Chrome, and each one is screaming at me with its own version of the truth.An alert in one tool doesn't always talk to the trace in another. Huge mental energy required to switch contexts between five different dashboards. Ingesting everything into one platform is becoming a massive budget line item. Is the SPoG just a marketing myth sold to management? Or has anyone actually achieved a 'quiet' and unified observability stack that doesn't feel like a part-time job just to maintain? What’s your current un-shittiest setup? [link] [handle]
