Grafana is an open source tool for performing data analysis, obtaining metrics that make sense of huge amounts of data, and monitoring your applications with customizable dashboards. Being open source, it also lets you write plugins from scratch for integration with many different data sources.

Grafana connects to all possible data sources, commonly known as databases such as Prometheus, ElasticSearch, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Graphite, Influx DB and OpenTSDB.

The tool helps you study, analyze and monitor data over a period of time, technically known as time series analysis.

It allows you to track user behavior, application behavior, the frequency of errors that appear in a production or pre-prod environment, the type of errors that appear and contextual scenarios by providing relative data.

One of the great advantages of Grafana is that it can be deployed on site. This is advantageous for organizations that dont want their data to be transmitted to a cloud provider for security and other reasons. Over time, this framework has grown in popularity and is deployed by big names such as PayPal, eBay, Intel and many others.

In addition to the fact that this solution is open source, the Grafana team offers two other services for businesses: Grafana Cloud and Grafana Enterprise.
