Summary
Publish an honest comparison page explaining when collectd-web is a good fit versus a larger observability stack such as Grafana.
Why this matters
Many users searching for monitoring dashboards default to Grafana. collectd-web can win when the user wants a simple, lightweight frontend for existing collectd/RRD data.
Scope
- Add a docs page such as
docs/collectd-web-vs-grafana.md.
- Compare setup complexity, resource footprint, data source assumptions, customization, and best-fit use cases.
- Include “choose collectd-web when…” and “choose Grafana when…” sections.
- Link from README/docs navigation.
Acceptance criteria
- Comparison is balanced and technically accurate.
- Page positions collectd-web around lightweight collectd/RRD visualization rather than claiming to replace full observability platforms.
- Page includes CTA to install/test collectd-web.
- README links to the comparison page.
