Grafana
Grafana is a multi-platform open source analytics and interactive visualization web application. It provides charts, graphs, and alerts for the web when connected to supported data sources. It is expandable through a plug-in system. End users can create complex monitoring dashboards using interactive query builders.
As a visualization tool, Grafana is a popular component in monitoring stacks, often used in combination with time series databases such as InfluxDB, Prometheus and Graphite; monitoring platforms such as Sensu, Icinga, Zabbix, Netdata, and PRTG; SIEMs such as Elasticsearch and Splunk; and other data sources.History
Grafana was first released in 2014 by Torkel Ödegaard as an offshoot of a project at Orbitz, it targeted time series databases such as InfluxDB, OpenTSDB, and Prometheus but evolved to support relational sources such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server. In 2019, Grafana Labs secured $24 million in Series A funding.
The conference GrafanaCon 2020 was scheduled for May 13-14, 2020, in Amsterdam but was changed to a 2 day online live streaming event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Adoption
