Grafana is an open-source solution for querying, visualizing, alerting, and exploring metrics, logs, and traces regardless of where they are stored.

Grafana provides tools to transform your time-series database data into meaningful graphs and visualizations.

One of the most unique differentiators is how Grafana approaches interoperability.

Grafana supports over 100 different data sources, allowing users to own their observability strategy and have the freedom to choose the tools that best suit their needs rather than being locked into a single vendor's ecosystem.

Since the earliest days of the project and the company, Grafana has had a vibrant and active community that contributes to its development and enhancement.

"Over the past ten years, Grafana has expanded beyond simple visualizations. We created best-in-class databases for metrics, logs, and traces. We seamlessly integrate with other tools in the observability stack, such as Grafana IRM for incident management, Grafana Cloud Profiles for continuous profiling, and Grafana Cloud k6 for performance testing. These integrations allow users to build a comprehensive observability solution tailored to their specific needs while having a single pane of glass to manage it all," Hartmann explained.
