Unified open-source dashboard for visualizing metrics, logs, and traces from any data source.
Core Features
- Mixed data sources in one graph, query per source
- Dynamic dashboards with template variables and dropdowns
- Switch from metrics to logs with preserved label filters
- Rich panel plugins for various visualizations
- Unified alerting with evaluation and multi-channel notifications
What It Can't Do
- •Default SQLite database is not suitable for production high concurrency; switch to PostgreSQL or MySQL
- •Grafana does not store time-series data; you must connect to a backend like Prometheus or InfluxDB
- •Alerting engine only works with certain data sources (Prometheus, Loki, etc.); verify compatibility first
- •For large queries, ensure data source performance to avoid frontend slowness
Use Cases
- IT infrastructure monitoring: combine server metrics, logs, and container stats in a single view
- Application performance monitoring: correlate latency, errors, and traces to diagnose issues
Detailed Introduction
Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability that allows you to query, visualize, alert on, and understand your metrics regardless of where they are stored. Unlike single-purpose tools like Kibana (Elasticsearch only) or Datadog (vendor lock-in), Grafana’s key advantage is its composable architecture: you can mix data sources (Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres, etc.) on the same dashboard, switch between metrics and logs with preserved label filters, and create dynamic, reusable dashboards with template variables. It also offers a unified alerting system that evaluates rules and sends notifications to Slack, PagerDuty, and more. With over 75,000 GitHub stars and a vibrant community, Grafana is the go-to choice for teams that need a flexible, vendor-neutral observability stack.
