Grafana
Deploy Gafana to query, visualize, alert on, and understand your data no matter where it’s stored
Overview
Grafana is a data monitoring and observability platform that allows you to collect and understand data from tools used throughout your organization. Grafana makes it easy to query data from many different sources, build graphs and dashboards to track changes in metrics, import and analyze logs, and send alerts when customizable thresholds are passed. With a large ecosystem of plugins and complementary systems, Grafana can be extended to work with whatever data is most important to you.
