A fully managed version of Grafana, the popular open-source visualization and dashboarding tool, that lets you create monitoring dashboards without managing the Grafana infrastructure yourself. Like subscribing to a professional monitoring display service instead of building your own monitoring wall.
A DevOps team uses Amazon Managed Grafana to create real-time dashboards showing their application's health across 200 microservices — pulling metrics from CloudWatch, Prometheus, and X-Ray into unified views that update every 10 seconds, without managing any Grafana servers.
All three (AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud) offer a fully managed Grafana control plane so you can build dashboards and manage users without running Grafana servers. They differ mainly in identity integration, supported data sources, networking options, and how they integrate with each provider’s native monitoring stack. OCI does not have a first-party managed Grafana service; Grafana is typically self-managed on OCI or consumed via third-party marketplaces.
