Grafana OSS is the leading open-source platform for visualization and observability. It enables teams to query, visualize, alert on, and explore telemetry data from multiple sources in a single interface. With support for 100+ data source plugins—including Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, SQL/NoSQL databases, and OpenTelemetry—Grafana helps teams correlate metrics, logs, and traces across applications and infrastructure. Users can build interactive dashboards with rich visualizations, template variables, and reusable panels to monitor systems and troubleshoot issues in real time. Grafana includes capabilities such as ad hoc data exploration, alerting, annotations, and flexible query support. Its extensible plugin ecosystem integrates with cloud platforms, databases, and developer tools—allowing teams to build observability workflows without vendor lock-in. The easiest way to get started with Grafana is with Grafana Cloud, our fully managed, full-stack observability platform.
