You can use Grafana to visualize and analyze telemetry data from your entire application and infrastructure stack. It brings together metrics, logs, traces, and profiles from various databases and services into customizable dashboards. You can set up alerting rules to detect incidents early and investigate root causes using automated assistants. Grafana also supports OpenTelemetry and Prometheus standards, helping engineering teams track system performance, monitor Kubernetes clusters, run synthetic tests, and control telemetry data storage costs across production environments without being locked into proprietary formats.
