fix(grafana): observability and logs-overview boards read real data

observability.json: stale 'structural downs' panel description fixed,
target census matches the post-blackbox job set. logs-overview.json:
panels grouped by the promoted container label instead of the absent
container_name, so the board stops reading empty beside live traffic.
