Open-source platform for monitoring and observability with customizable dashboards. Like having a mission control center with screens showing the health of all your systems.

Real-World Example

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Grafana is a vendor-neutral visualization and dashboarding tool. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud offer fully managed Grafana services that handle hosting, scaling, upgrades, and SSO integration. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure does not offer a first-party managed Grafana service; Grafana is typically self-hosted on OCI compute or run via Kubernetes/marketplace images.
