Feedback Wanted: Monitoring Observability Pipeline
We've seen users get locked into solutions when their bill goes through the roof because the cost of migrating all their agents, dashboards and alerts to another solution would be too great. We've also seen people who want to try a new solution without having to deploy another solution into their environment.
Our idea (Halcyon) would be to provide one agent, one configuration and a service that can then route all the metrics in real time to the monitoring solutions you use, making it as easy to switch as a settings page if you want to try something else or push your monitoring data elsewhere.

Our current thinking is it would be a simple on-prem (or SaaS) install, users would just deploy the agent, and out of the box integrations using our simple UI/host view and label selectors.
Once the monitoring agents and integrations are deployed, you could select where to send them on one page, and Halcyon would ensure the metrics get sent to the right place, in the right format, transforming the metrics in real time to ensure it appears in the solution you want without any advanced configuration.
Does this solve a problem people have? Is this something you would pay for?
