## What it is
Grafana is an open-source observability and data visualization platform for querying, visualizing, and alerting on metrics, logs, and traces from many data sources such as Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres, and MySQL. It supports dynamic dashboards, ad-hoc data exploration, mixed data sources, and a large plugin ecosystem.

## Use cases
- visualize prometheus metrics in dashboards
- monitor server and infrastructure health
- create alerting rules for metrics and send notifications to slack or pagerduty
- explore and search application logs
- build business intelligence dashboards from postgres or mysql data
- mix multiple data sources in a single graph
- share reusable dashboards with a team

## When to choose
- you need to visualize metrics, logs, or traces from one or many data sources
- you want a self-hosted, open-source monitoring and dashboarding solution
- you need alerting with integrations to on-call and chat tools
- you want a large ecosystem of data source and panel plugins

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight single-purpose charting library to embed in your own app
- you only need simple static charts without dashboards or alerting
- you require a fully managed service and do not want to operate infrastructure (consider Grafana Cloud instead)

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: data-visualization, monitoring, alerting, analytics, charts, self-hosted
- domain: monitoring, data-visualization, analytics
- platform: windows, self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: dashboards, observability, metrics, logs, traces, prometheus, loki, elasticsearch, influxdb, business-intelligence, devops, linux, macos, docker, web-server
