Grafana is an open-source observability platform for visualizing metrics, logs, and traces collected from your applications. It allows you to query, visualize, alert on, and understand your data no matter where it is stored. You can create, explore, and share beautiful dashboards with your team and foster a data-driven culture.
Grafana can be used for various purposes, such as:
- Monitoring the performance and availability of your applications and infrastructure
- Analyzing the behavior and trends of your users and business metrics
- Troubleshooting and debugging issues and incidents
- Exploring and discovering new insights from your data
- Sharing and collaborating on data with your team and stakeholders
Grafana supports a wide range of data sources, such as Prometheus, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Loki, Jaeger, AWS CloudWatch, Google Cloud Monitoring, and many more. You can also extend Grafana with plugins for new data sources, panels, transformations, and alerts.
Grafana can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or as a managed service. The easiest way to get started is with Grafana Cloud, which offers a fully composable observability stack that includes Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and synthetic monitoring
