Yes I'm exactly like you as well. I've been coding for 30+ years, I still love coding and system building etc, but sometimes the level of frustration to find the information and then get something working is simply too high.

Over a weekend, I used ChatGPT to set up Prometheus and Grafana and added node exporters to everything I could think of. I even told ChatGPT to create NOC-style dashboards for me, given the metrics I gave it. This is something that would have painstakingly take several weeks if not more to figure out, and it's something I've been wanting to do but the cognitive load and anticipatory frustration was too high for me to start. I love how it enables me to just do things.

My next step is to integrate some programs that I wrote that I still use every day to collect data and then show it on the dashboards as well.

On a side note, I don't know why Grafana hasn't more deeply integrated with AI. Having to sift through all the ridiculous metrics that different node exporters advertise with no hint of naming convention makes using Grafana so much harder. I cut and pasted all the metrics and dumped it into ChatGPT and told it to make the panels I wanted (ex. "Give me a dashboard that shows the status of all my servers" and it's able to pick and choose the correct metrics across my Windows server, Macbooks and studio, my Linux machines, etc), but Grafana should have this integrated themselves directly into themselves.
