Monitoring with Grafana

What is Grafana?

Grafana's central function is the visualization of data. Grafana is often used for monitoring applications and supports the three pillars of observability: metrics, logging, and tracing, but it can also be used to display static data in relational databases.

The captured raw data can be combined into so-called Dashboards .
