## What it is
Falcon+ (Open-Falcon) is an open-source, enterprise-level monitoring system written in Go, composed of multiple modules for metric collection, storage, alerting, and dashboards. It is now in maintenance mode, with the project recommending Nightingale as its modern successor for cloud-native environments.

## Use cases
- monitor servers and host metrics at scale
- set up alerting on system and application metrics
- store and query time-series monitoring data
- self-host an enterprise monitoring platform
- integrate monitoring dashboards with grafana

## When to choose
- you need a proven, self-hosted monitoring system for traditional server fleets
- you already run Open-Falcon and need the maintained falcon-plus backend
- you want a modular monitoring stack with alerting and time-series storage

## When to avoid
- you are starting fresh with Kubernetes or microservices - use Nightingale or Prometheus instead
- you need a cloud-native, Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution
- you want a project with active feature development

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, alerting, self-hosted
- domain: monitoring, infrastructure-as-code, time-series
- platform: go, self-hosted
