What is Grafana?

Grafana lets you query, visualise and set alerts on your metrics, wherever they are stored. Its README lists flexible graphs and dashboards with template variables, exploring metrics and logs, alert rules that can notify tools such as Slack and PagerDuty, and mixing several data sources in one graph. You can try it on the public play.grafana.org site.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Grafana does well

  • Connects to many data sources
  • Share dashboards with your team

Cons: where it falls short

  • Takes setup and data knowledge
  • More than a small project needs

Who Grafana is for

Teams who want one screen showing how systems and numbers are doing.

Who can skip it

People with no metrics or logs to watch.
