The catch
Deliberately minimal — basic system + Docker metrics only, no deep app/process drill-down or query language, so it's "is my box healthy," not observability.

The honest take
The homelab darling of the moment, and rightly so — a tiny agent, a clean multi-server dashboard, alerts, done. The flip side of “lightweight” is shallow: it tells you a box is unhealthy, not why.
