Grafana is a multi-platform open source analytics and interactive visualization web application. It can produce charts, graphs, and alerts for the web when connected to supported data sources.

There is also a licensed Grafana Enterprise version with additional capabilities, which is sold as a self-hosted installation or through an account on the Grafana Labs cloud service.[2] It is expandable through a plug-in system. Complex monitoring dashboards[3] can be built by end users, with the aid of interactive query builders. The product is divided into a front end and back end, written in TypeScript and Go, respectively.[4]

As a visualization tool, Grafana can be used as a component in monitoring stacks,[5] often in combination with time series databases such as InfluxDB, Prometheus[6][7] and Graphite;[8] monitoring platforms such as Sensu,[9] Icinga, Checkmk,[10] Zabbix, Netdata,[7] and PRTG; SIEMs such as Elasticsearch,[6] OpenSearch,[11] and Splunk; and other data sources. The Grafana user interface was originally based on version 3 of Kibana.[12]
