Technology explained

What is Grafana?

Grafana is a visualisation and observability platform for exploring telemetry and building dashboards and alerts. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

It queries many data sources rather than requiring every signal to live in one database. Panels, variables, transformations and alert rules turn metrics, logs and traces into operational views, while access control and data-source permissions protect underlying data.

Primary purpose

Present and correlate operational telemetry for investigation and monitoring.
