FWIW: I spent ~10 years in the monitoring / performance space, and your approach in building and marketing a generalist tool is not unreasonable. In fact, more often than not when I saw technology-specific tools, they got pigeon-holed and could not move beyond their original market.

IMO, nothing wrong with offering core functionality for various types of monitors that works for majority cases.
please think for a moment what you’ve just said
you said you could offer me a tool that does many different things, but nothing specific
but, as a potential customer i would be looking for a tool that could solve my specific problem
now think about that…
Personally speaking, if I have a problem so specific that a generalized tool can't solve it, I am going to create the solution to that problem myself.
If all my problems are so specific they require this treatment then I have too many unicorns and not enough horses.
Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely keep it mind as I navigate through the startup journey.
