# Monitoring with Grafana

## What is Grafana?

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

The recorded raw data can be assembled into so-called [dashboards](/collection/platform/live-cockpit.md).

## Open Grafana

In the title bar, click on the "Monitoring" item.

## Grafana Dashboards

The following dashboards have been prepared for BuildingPro Suites with Grafana:
