My plants are my new monitoring dashboard

I may be wrong, but I have stopped checking Grafana. My ficus drops leaves when humidity drops below what my colo environment prefers. My succulent wrinkles when I have missed a backup window. It is more immediate than any alert I have configured. I am considering this for my APAC nodes as well. Does anyone else use biological indicators for infrastructure health? I find it more reliable than synthetic monitoring in some cases.
