Grafana
Grafana is an open source observability platform for visualisation and alerting based on data in time series databases, developed by Grafana Labs.
Concepts
- Alerts can notify you when a value for a specified metric falls outside of a threshold.
- Dashboards contain sets of visualisations, synchronised with a time series.
- Panels are visualisations. They can be configured to repeat for each dimension within a given time series.
- Variables allow parameterisation of queries, and can be set by consumers of a dashboard.
- Annotations can overlay additional information on panels, e.g. deployment events.
- Playlists show a series of dashboards in a sequence.
- Folders group related dashboards.
- Data sources contain the data and provide the query interface.
CLI
The grafana-cli application can be used to manage plugins, migrate data between Grafana versions, and reset the administrator user's password on a Grafana server.
