Grafana is an open source multi-platform analytics and interactive visualization web application developed by Grafana Labs. It enables users to query, visualize, alert on, and understand metrics, logs, and traces from multiple data sources through customizable dashboards. Grafana is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPLv3). [2]

Grafana is commonly used for observing infrastructure, applications, and services, and supports integration with a wide range of data sources. It is often deployed alongside open source backends for logs, metrics, and traces, including Loki (log aggregation), Mimir (metrics storage), and Tempo (distributed tracing). They are sometimes collectively referred to as the "LGTM Stack," an open source observability platform.[3]

There is also a licensed Grafana Enterprise version with additional capabilities, which is sold as a self-hosted installation or through an account on the Grafana Labs cloud service.[4] It is expandable through a plug-in system. Complex monitoring dashboards[5] can be built by end users, with the aid of interactive query builders. The product is divided into a front end and back end, written in TypeScript and Go, respectively.[6]

As a visualization tool, Grafana can be used as a component in monitoring stacks,[7] often in combination with time series databases such as InfluxDB, Prometheus[8][9] and Graphite;[10] monitoring platforms such as Sensu,[11] Icinga, Checkmk,[12] Zabbix, Netdata,[9] and PRTG; SIEMs such as Elasticsearch,[8] OpenSearch,[13] and Splunk; and other data sources. The Grafana user interface was originally based on version 3 of Kibana.[14]

History

[edit]

Grafana was first released in 2014 by Torkel Ödegaard as an offshoot of a project at Orbitz. It targeted time series databases such as InfluxDB, OpenTSDB, and Prometheus, but evolved to support relational databases such as MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server.[15]

The company behind the project was founded in 2014 under the name Raintank, and later rebranded as Grafana Labs[16] — established to provide commercial support and services around the open source project.

In 2019, Grafana Labs secured $24 million in Series A funding.[17] In the 2020 Series B funding round, it obtained $50 million.[18] In the 2021 Series C funding round, Grafana Labs secured $220 million.[19] Grafana Labs completed a $240 million Series D round in 2022, and announced the completion of a primary and secondary transaction valued at $270 million in 2024.[20]

Grafana Labs acquired Kausal in 2018,[21] k6[22][23] and Amixr[24] in 2021, Pyroscope[25] and Asserts.ai[26] in 2023, and TailCtrl in 2024.[27]

Adoption

[edit]

Grafana is used[7] in Wikimedia's infrastructure.[28] It is also used by NASA to track its launches and has been used by the Tour de France to showcase realtime race data.[29] In 2017, Grafana Labs had over 1,000 paying customers, including Bloomberg, JP Morgan Chase, and eBay.[22] In 2025, that number grew to 7,000 customers, including Nvidia, Anthropic, and Uber. [29]

Licensing

[edit]

Previously, Grafana was licensed with an Apache License 2.0 license and used a CLA based on the Harmony Contributor Agreement.[30]

Since 2021, Grafana has been licensed under an AGPLv3 license.[31] Contributors to Grafana need to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) that gives Grafana Labs the right to relicense Grafana in the future. The CLA is based on The Apache Software Foundation Individual Contributor License Agreement.[32]

[edit]

Grafana Labs launched a series of related open-source projects to complement Grafana:

  • Grafana Loki - a log aggregation platform inspired by Prometheus first made available in 2019[33]
  • Grafana Mimir - a Prometheus-compatible, scalable metrics storage and analysis tool released in 2022 that replaced Cortex[34]
  • Grafana Tempo - a distributed tracing tool, released in 2021[35]
  • Grafana Pyroscope - a continuous profiling tool, released in 2023[36]
