Grafana is an open‑source, web‑based platform for visualizing, alerting on, and exploring metrics, logs, and traces from many data sources. It provides flexible dashboards, templating, and a rich plugin ecosystem.

Use cases

  • Create real‑time dashboards to monitor server and application metrics.
  • Set up alert rules that notify teams via Slack, PagerDuty, or email when thresholds are breached.
  • Explore logs and metrics side‑by‑side for faster incident investigation.
  • Combine data from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, and InfluxDB in a single view.
  • Monitor Kubernetes clusters and cloud services with built‑in data source plugins.
  • Build reusable, templated dashboards for multi‑tenant environments.

When to choose

  • You need a unified, extensible observability platform that supports many data sources out of the box.
  • You prefer an open‑source solution with a large community and plugin ecosystem.
  • Your team wants to create shareable, interactive dashboards without writing custom front‑end code.
  • You require built‑in alerting and notification integrations.

When to avoid

  • You need a fully managed SaaS solution with zero operational overhead.
  • Your use case demands deep APM features or proprietary vendor integrations not supported by Grafana plugins.
  • You have strict licensing constraints that prevent use of AGPL‑licensed software.
