Overall Satisfaction with Grafana
We're using Grafana for visualizing Prometheus metrics which comes from our Kubernetes clusters and other Application and Enterprise tools servers and sending alerts on our collaboration channels whenever a metric is breeching defined threshold. There are a lot of paid tools [that] are available in the market, but nothing is better than Grafana.
- 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).
- 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.
