## The key question

> **“Is my infrastructure healthy?”**

## Problems you can solve at Level 1

| Problem                         | How Level 1 helps                     |
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
| “Is my server running?”         | CPU, memory, disk, network metrics    |
| “Why did my app crash?”         | Log aggregation and search            |
| “Is my database healthy?”       | Database metrics and connection stats |
| “What’s happening in my cloud?” | AWS, Azure, GCP metrics               |
| “Is Kubernetes behaving?”       | Cluster, node, pod metrics            |

## What you get

- **Metrics**: Time-series data showing system health over time
- **Logs**: Searchable event records from all your systems
- **Dashboards**: Pre-built visualizations for common infrastructure
- **Alerts**: Notifications when metrics cross thresholds

## Who needs Level 1

> **Everyone needs Level 1.** This is the foundation. Without infrastructure visibility, it’s difficult to effectively debug anything above it.
