Grafana: A powerful opensource Monitoring Visualization tool
- It visualizes metrics very well coming from any well known data source.
- It sends alerts to collaboration channels when a threshold is breeched.
- Graphs and dashboards are portable (Graph-as-a-Code).
Cons
- There are some settings which we can't configure from UI (Web Console).
- We've open[ed] up configuration files in command line text editors and manually do the settings e.g. LDAP/SSO configuration.
- In terms of visualization, it's best, but it doesn't support log analysis otherwise it could destroy business of all other visualization tools.
- It has kicked out some of our paid monitoring and visualization tools.
- Now Monitoring, Visualization and Alerting is being done in a single platform.
- It made monitoring and visualization very easy for us.
