Just to answer the question about what metrics are included, you can write and read any kind of custom metrics and log data from your applications, and have to build useful dashboards yourself. When first deployed, the user tenants (you can create any number of tenants to partition your data) are empty (you start with a clean slate) and ready for you to send any metrics/logs to it. You also have to add your own dashboards to interpret the data you've sent.

Opstrace does ship with a "system" tenant designed for monitoring the Opstrace system itself. This tenant has built-in dashboards that we've designed to show you the health of the Opstrace system.

Incidentally, having sharable "dashboards" across people/teams/organizations is something we are also working on, so people don't have to re-invent dashboards all the time.

We also have some guidelines for you to ingest metrics from Kubernetes clusters (https://opstrace.com/docs/guides/user/instrumenting-a-k8s-cl...) and are building native cloud metrics collection. Feel free to follow along in GitHub: https://github.com/opstrace/opstrace/issues/310.
