Stéphane Tailland 3937b4f366 Declarative Grafana / Prometheus / Loki / Tempo observability stack
Deploys the whole stack into the observability namespace of the local
cluster with Kustomize alone — no helm install, no dashboard created by
hand in the UI. The Makefile carries every command: deploy, dashboards,
diagnostics, PVC flush, teardown.

Dashboards are files, never UI objects. Each carries a stable uid, which
is what keeps URLs, cross-links and alerts alive across redeployments, and
references datasources by stable uid rather than by name. The dashboard
ConfigMap is generated without a name-suffix hash so applying it updates
it in place and Grafana reloads without a restart, while the provisioning
ConfigMaps keep their hash precisely so that a change there does force one.

Prometheus scrapes the kubelet /metrics/resource endpoint rather than
/metrics/cadvisor: on this cluster cadvisor exposes machine_* series only
and no container_* at all, which would leave every CPU and memory panel
empty.

Alloy ships every pod's logs to Loki through the Kubernetes API, so no
/var/log mount is needed. Tempo's metrics_generator feeds span metrics and
the service graph back into Prometheus, and the datasources are wired so a
log line's trace_id opens the matching trace.

# File-based dashboard provider.
# The JSON files are mounted from the `grafana-dashboards` ConfigMap (generated
# without a name-suffix hash): `make dashboards` updates the ConfigMap in place
# and Grafana reloads WITHOUT restarting the pod, in about 70s
# (kubelet volume sync ~60s + updateIntervalSeconds below).
