Grafana: Your Single Pane of Glass for Observability
Grafana is the universal dashboard for your system's health, visualizing metrics, logs, and traces from different sources in one place. Use it to monitor application performance and infrastructure health.
Think of Grafana as a 'single pane of glass' for observability. It connects to dozens of data sources—metrics databases, log aggregators, tracing systems—and lets you build unified dashboards to visualize them all. It’s used to create real-time views of Kubernetes health, track application error rates, and visualize request latency on the same screen. The footgun: Don't blame Grafana for slow dashboards; it only queries data, so the bottleneck is almost always the underlying data source, not the visualization layer.
