Great for identifying hotspots, has an excellent knowledge map, and makes it easy to find files
The three main aspects we like are: 1. Hotspots: This is the core of the product and helps us to focus on the smaller and most impactful areas of the codebase. 2. Code Health and Code Complexity: This helps us understand the issues and what we need to fix and how. CodeScene provides a summary of the method and function level and helps focus on a smaller section of the files instead of looking at everything all at once. 3. Knowledge Map: This helps us understand team dynamics such as how developers have worked on the code and how fragmented the code is. There's information around knowledge loss and knowledge islands that is very informative.

Monitoring has reduced outages and improves proactive issue resolution across our infrastructure
Regarding complexity, I think there is no feature like InfluxDB AI, so it may require more expertise to configure. There are also some migration challenges in adopting the new dashboards, so it takes some time to train the staff, but it is not a big concern. I think it is better to add some advanced features. I do not think there are so many things that need to be improved in Nagios Core on CentOS. If it is better to customize the dashboard or if we can get something like a modern view, it will be helpful for the dashboard. I felt very happy with Nagios Core on CentOS. Why I took off one point is that I think it is better suited for a small or medium setup. If large enterprises can use Nagios Core on CentOS, it will be helpful. It also requires manual editing of the config file, so it is a little bit time-consuming. The web interface is functional, but compared to some other latest AI monitoring platforms, it is a little bit lacking. I think the AI platform would score higher, but it is good. The reporting is just basic, so if we compare it with Grafana, it needs richer insights.
