Grafana Labs: Cloud-Native Open Observability Platform

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Grafana Labs is the primary contributor to the Grafana and Loki open source projects, as well as one of the main contributors to Prometheus.

Grafana is an analytics and monitoring solution that empowers operators to build dashboards across different logging and metrics products running different databases.

Loki is a log aggregation platform, similar to Prometheus, which does the same for metrics.

Grafana Labs’ enterprise offering builds on Grafana, Prometheus, and Graphite (open source metrics storage and graphing tool) by integrating commercial enterprise data sources, including those from Splunk, New Relic, AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and others.

Grafana runs either on-premises (as a single binary) or in the Cloud (as a microservices-based SaaS solution). Enterprises can incorporate both on-premises and cloud-based log and metrics data into their Grafana deployment.

In keeping with the principle of cloud-native observability, Grafana provides more than dashboards. It empowers operators to create, explore, and share dashboards as necessary to provide optimal visibility and control over the operational environment.
