## What it is
A monitoring mixin providing a curated set of Grafana dashboards and Prometheus alerting/recording rules for Kubernetes clusters, written in Jsonnet. It is the standard community-maintained observability configuration for Kubernetes monitoring stacks.

## Use cases
- set up grafana dashboards for kubernetes cluster monitoring
- configure prometheus alerts for kubernetes workloads
- monitor node and pod health in kubernetes
- get out-of-the-box kubernetes observability dashboards
- generate prometheus alert rules for kube-state-metrics

## When to choose
- you run Prometheus and Grafana against a Kubernetes cluster and want battle-tested dashboards and alerts
- you want community-maintained, versioned monitoring rules compatible with specific Kubernetes releases
- you prefer Jsonnet-based, composable monitoring configuration

## When to avoid
- you don't use Prometheus or Grafana as your monitoring stack
- you need a full metrics collection agent rather than dashboards and alert rules
- you want a hosted/managed monitoring solution with no configuration
