Grafana

Open source · OSI-approvedStatus: unknown

Dashboards over whatever data you already store

Grafana is the visualisation layer that sits above other systems rather than a monitoring stack of its own. It queries Prometheus, Loki, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, and dozens of other sources, and puts them on the same dashboard.

Alerting is unified across those sources, which is what keeps it in the middle of most observability setups even as the data stores underneath change.

Decisive facts

Dozens of data sources on a single dashboard
Unified alerting with routing to the usual destinations
Templated dashboards driven by variables
Annotations tying deploys and incidents to the timeline
Self-hostable with SSO and team-scoped permissions

OpenPanel merges the two dashboards most teams keep open side by side: page-level web analytics and event-level product analytics. Funnels, retention curves, and session replay sit next to traffic sources rather than in a separate product.

GlitchTip accepts events from the official Sentry SDKs, which means adopting it is a DSN change rather than an instrumentation project. Stack traces, breadcrumbs, releases, and issue grouping all work as expected.
