We were looking to have multiple monitoring targets with good visualization to pipe out for both classical notifications and visualization. I can't say enough about the awesome visualizations; makes it so easy to demonstrate across teams when things are good (heart symbol), or when things are bad (giant spikes pushing over your happiness thresholds; dashed tolerance lines). #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the customizable dashboards with the ability to zero in on specific time frames. The alert settings can be adjusted, the data sources can be customized, and the notifications can be customized. It's a very flexible tool and is open source. #### Cons The downside of having something so customizable is that you need to invest some time to get it to produce what you're looking for. It's worth the investment, but know ahead of time that it is a significant investment. Aside from setting up the data in and alerts out (and configuring the limits, etc.), you also need a storage solution if you want to keep a historical record; but this isn't super necessary since your data sources likely have storage solutions. Still, it would be nice to have a record of Grafana since that is where you've invested the time and congregated the data. --- ### Great tool for visualation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Prashant D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
