Trust analysis is a screening signal, not a security warranty. Read the ranking and trust methodology.
In practice
Written by AI from this repository’s README · medium confidenceMetrics and logs sit in separate systems with no shared dashboard or alerting layer across them.
Use it when
Use it when you need dashboards and alert rules over Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, Postgres or mixed sources.
Not the right pick when
It visualizes data others store, so it does not solve collection or retention on its own.
Capabilities
- fast client side graphs with many panel plugins
- dynamic reusable dashboards driven by template variables
- ad-hoc queries and dynamic drilldown with split view comparison
- log exploration with preserved label filters and live streaming
- visually defined alert rules notifying Slack, PagerDuty, VictorOps and OpsGenie
- mix different data sources in the same graph on a per query basis
Cost: Free and open source

The open-source platform for monitoring and observability
Grafana allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. Create, explore, and share dashboards with your team and foster a data-driven culture:
- Visualizations: Fast and flexible client side graphs with a multitude of options. Panel plugins offer many different ways to visualize metrics and logs.
- Dynamic Dashboards: Create dynamic & reusable dashboards with template variables that appear as dropdowns at the top of the dashboard.
- Explore Metrics: Explore your data through ad-hoc queries and dynamic drilldown. Split view and compare different time ranges, queries and data sources side by side.
- Explore Logs: Experience the magic of switching from metrics to logs with preserved label filters. Quickly search through all your logs or streaming them live.
- Alerting: Visually define alert rules for your most important metrics. Grafana will continuously evaluate and send notifications to systems like Slack, PagerDuty, VictorOps, OpsGenie.
- Mixed Data Sources: Mix different data sources in the same graph! You can specify a data source on a per-query basis. This works for even custom datasources.
