Prometheus not work with transaction it is just tools for save metric, I think we will have integration for that too, but right now our plan to improve current system.

About dashboard: we fully agree with you, but for that we need some more experience in UI/ux and design. Also we are not so big as, for example, datadog. But we will be glad to improve it and to hear the suggestions.

The problem is, that transactions do cost resources/latency and it is actually not that relevant.

Why? Because you are not building a tracer but a monitoring tool.

Your dashboard is very hard to read because it is basically just tables and your tables do not give you any visual cue. I would highly recommend getting some icons from something like https://fontawesome.com/ and make it visual clear in what screen you are.

If you have any status text, like open/closed etc. give them appropriate color like green and red.

With your rules, it does look like code so why not with a coding theme? Like how githubs markdown makes code different from the rest of the text.

Give buttons appropriate colors.

with your live view, make sure that certain text is aligned vertically;

Give your Memory graphs proper units. 500000000 is not helpful.

I would highly recommend you to take a little bit of time to look to current existing and well working solutions so you can see what makes sense and what doesn't.

I would argue that not using something like Grafana for your frontend, is a big missing feature.
