Recent ecosystem signals point in the same direction: more telemetry does not automatically produce better diagnosis. This guide turns that into a repeatable method for building trustworthy timelines with Prometheus, Loki, and OpenTelemetry, while avoiding very current traps such as misleading memory metrics, noisy labels, and traces that lack useful request context.
