Grafana

Open source application for querying, visualizing, alerting on and exploring metrics, logs and traces.

Grafana is an open source application for querying, visualizing, alerting on and exploring metrics, logs and traces. It runs as a server and keeps its users, data sources and dashboards in a database. The installation guide lists Docker, Debian packages, a binary archive and a Helm chart. A dashboard panel can be shared as an iframe that another website embeds. Sign-in works through OAuth2 providers and LDAP. The UI language is set by a configuration option.

Worth knowing

Grafana Enterprise adds commercial features such as enterprise data source plugins, reporting and enhanced access control. Grafana Cloud is a fully managed platform hosted by Grafana Labs, and panel embedding and anonymous access are not available there.
