Grafana Reviews

It's flexibility, being able to visualise almost anything

Sometimes the panels are designed to work with Prometheus or other grafana owned data sources, and don't work great with bespoke / SQL data sources

Being able to see all our data quickly, in 1 place

I loved that Grafana had custom created dashboards that we could save and recreate with the Grafana API. It was easy to implement.

Modifying the grafana.ini file to bypass user login in an embedded dashboard was difficult, and debugging was difficult.

Grafana creates very pretty dashboards for the metrics that we scraped. It saved us a lot of time.

I can monitor all the data in same screen and that is the best part. It is best for incident monitoring.

It does not refreshes on its own after some time. We have to manually refresh the time which is quite irritating

It is helping us monitor all the device health under the same screen which saves a lot of time and is easy to use

We're using Grafana for real-time monitoring metrics, alerting, and logging. For monitoring, we've integrated it with Prometheus, and for logging, we've integrated it with Loki and Promtail. Apart from this, we're looking to explore it as an APM at the moment.

Difficult to create a custom dashboard.

Better UI is needed for Loki logs. Real-time logs are still a challenge.

Different data sources cannot be used in the same graph at the same time, causing a visual comparison of the data to be difficult.

We're using node-exporter, cadvisor, mongo-exporter, mysql-exporter, pm2 exporter and nginx exporter to send data to prometheus and plot graphs on grafana for real-time monitoring. Pretty helpful to debug and provide RCA for any incidents that occur.

Getting application logs using the loki docker plugin and getting logs on Grafana on a container-level.

We hope to implement grafana tempo soon.

The visualization dashboard is easy to use and includes a wide range of display options. You can change parameters very quickly to converge on the display you want.

You are somewhat bound by the connectors provided and the completeness of their implementation. But this was not a serious problem for my implementation. Be that you know how to use your chosen connector.

We are able to display operating data from our IoT solution.

1. Easy to integrate with current workflow

2. Easy search features which help non-tech users to find logs

3. In multi-container environment, search can be deepened further for logs

I was not easily able to filter warnings vs errors in logs. I think they should provide quick search functionality for errors or warnings as well

1. Easy container monitoring

2. We are able to catch errors before they hit production

3. Not that much costly

It offers, in my opinion, a user-friendly design that is intuitive and makes creating and customizing dashboards simple.

Moreover, a broad variety of data sources are supported, including well-known databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL.

The finest feature is that it enables you to create alerts based on particular metrics or conditions and receive notifications via email, Slack, and PagerDuty.

I believe that learning how to use all of its features and capabilities properly takes time for new users.

Grafana may need a lot of processing power and memory because it might be resource-intensive.

It solves the main issue of visualizing and monitoring complex data sets. Its capability to share dashboards and collaborate with others on monitoring and visualization projects can help teams work more efficiently and effectively, improving communication and knowledge sharing.

Setting up alerts on PagerDuty, mail is the main advantage to detect anmoly.

best thing about grafana is their dashboards in which we can add promql query to visualize the response from data source like prometheus or thanos. multile features from importing dashboards to alerting

their is nothing to dislike about grafana as of now

in grafana we use to monitoring the critical logs using loki integration and multiple dashboards to monitor instance cpu,disk and memory usage and website monitorings and alerting

Have free software to test the projects. Have excellent visualization graphics with many stiles. Also is easy to integrate into different databases. And finally, have cloud services.

In some TVs, Grafana is not compatible with the web browser. So It needed an external vídeo source to see the dashboard on the screen. Solving this issue or making a lite version compatible would be great.

How to expose and see relevant information in industrial machines and processes. Also, it can be seen on almost any device and over the internet. And have free software to test.

Grafana is a very stable and user-friendly interface, with lots of customization options and a very good performance. I use it for home automation data and security purposes.

There's no real downside here, except that I can only connect three machines/browsers in the free version. But that's just in my private account, so not an issue.

Grafana gives me a really nice display of all the data I'm collecting in my InfluxDB over time. It's easy to analyze data and have really performant dashboards that show me just the information I need.
