topk(5, 100 - avg by (instance)
(rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode="idle"}[5m])) * 100)The five busiest hosts right now.
Ranked by CPU not spent idle, averaged across cores.
Every host and container on one page.
One agent per host takes its pipeline from the portal. CPU, memory, disk and network arrive without an exporter per service, and the integration catalogue covers the databases, queues and proxies underneath.
Included on the free tier: 20,000 active series, 50 GB of logs and 50 GB of traces a month. No card.

How it gets there
Three steps, then it is reporting.
One agent per host, a standard OpenTelemetry Collector with a single opamp block. Everything after that arrives from the portal.
Add one opamp extension block to a collector on the host.
Assign the host pipeline from Fleet Management.
Hosts appear in Insights with dashboards attached.
