Open-source platform for monitoring, visualization, and observability
Query, visualize, and alert on metrics and logs from any data source. Build dynamic dashboards, explore data through ad-hoc queries, and foster data-driven collaboration across teams.
Grafana is a powerful open-source platform designed for monitoring and observability across distributed systems. It enables teams to query, visualize, alert on, and understand metrics and logs regardless of where data is stored, supporting data sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres, and many more.
Built for DevOps engineers, SREs, and data analysts, Grafana offers fast, flexible client-side visualizations through a rich plugin ecosystem. Create dynamic, reusable dashboards with template variables, explore data through ad-hoc queries with split-view comparisons, and seamlessly transition from metrics to logs while preserving label filters. Mix multiple data sources in a single graph to correlate insights across your infrastructure.
Define visual alert rules for critical metrics with continuous evaluation and notifications to Slack, PagerDuty, VictorOps, and OpsGenie. Share dashboards across teams to build a unified, data-driven culture. Licensed under AGPL-3.0, Grafana is built primarily in TypeScript and Go, backed by a vibrant community with 70,000+ GitHub stars.
When teams consider Grafana, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Multi-Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring
Correlate metrics from AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, and on-premise Prometheus in unified dashboards for holistic infrastructure visibility.
Application Performance Management
Track application latency, error rates, and throughput across microservices, drilling from metrics into logs for rapid root-cause analysis.
Business Analytics Dashboards
Visualize KPIs from Postgres, MySQL, and third-party APIs in real-time dashboards shared across product and executive teams.
Incident Response Workflows
Define threshold-based alerts on critical metrics, automatically notifying on-call engineers via PagerDuty and Slack for faster incident resolution.
Grafana supports Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres, MySQL, and dozens of other sources through built-in and community plugins. You can mix multiple sources in a single dashboard.
Yes, Grafana is open-source under AGPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted on-premise or in your cloud environment. Installation guides are available in the official documentation.
Grafana allows you to visually define alert rules based on metric thresholds. It continuously evaluates these rules and sends notifications to Slack, PagerDuty, VictorOps, OpsGenie, and other channels.
Grafana is the open-source platform you self-host. Grafana Cloud is a fully managed service offering hosted Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki with additional enterprise features and support.
Grafana offers intuitive dashboards for viewing data, but creating complex visualizations, alerts, and queries typically requires technical knowledge of your data sources and query languages.
