grafana/grafana
Grafana is an open and composable observability and data visualization platform designed to query, visualize, alert on, and analyze metrics, logs, and traces across diverse storage engines such as Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, and PostgreSQL. Tailored for DevOps engineers, system administrators, and infrastructure operators, it enables teams to construct dynamic multi-source dashboards, explore telemetry through ad-hoc queries, and dispatch alert notifications to destinations like Slack, PagerDuty, VictorOps, and OpsGenie. The GitHub snapshot records AGPL-3.0; LICENSING.md describes licensing scope and exceptions.
Deploying self-hosted Grafana requires a supported operating system—including Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, Fedora, SUSE, openSUSE, macOS, or Windows—alongside a supported browser and database. System requirements mandate at least 1 CPU core and 512 MB memory, while small production tiers recommend 2 cores, 2 to 4 GB RAM, and a 10 to 20 GB SSD database host. Grafana includes embedded SQLite 3 for local evaluation, while the documentation recommends external MySQL or PostgreSQL for production. Installation is completed using official system packages and installation guides referenced at grafana.com/get and docs. Grafana Cloud is a hosted option; check current pricing and limits with the provider. For another visualization tool, compare Kibana; capabilities and licensing differ.
