observability-requires-layered-enablement

Status: IN

OpenShift observability operates through a layered enablement model: the monitoring stack itself is architecturally layered (AlertingRules → PrometheusRules → AlertRelabelConfig → Alertmanager), but only platform monitoring is automatic — user workload monitoring and distributed tracing require explicit admin action.

Justifications

Architecture is layered AND enablement is layered — two independent dimensions that compound operational complexity

Depends on (SL): monitoring-stack-layered-architecture, monitoring-requires-explicit-enablement-beyond-platform
