Single Pane of Glass

This term describes an observability dashboard that consolidates all critical data into one interface, aiming to provide a comprehensive view of system performance and health. The goal of a “Single Pane of Glass” is to simplify incident analysis and resolution by presenting all relevant information in one place. While this concept is desirable, some argue that relying on a single provider for all data collection and storage may lead to higher costs and complexity, rather than achieving the operational efficiency it promises.
