Notes on the Perfidy of Dashboards

Read Original

This article argues that static dashboards, while useful for high-level monitoring, are ineffective for debugging novel system issues. The author contends that debugging with dashboards is mere pattern-matching, as they represent answers to forgotten questions without context. The piece advocates for dynamic, queryable tools for real investigation in software engineering and operations.
