As a visualization tool, Grafana is a popular component in monitoring stacks,[5] often used in combination with time series databases such as InfluxDB, Prometheus[6][7] and Graphite;[8] monitoring platforms such as Sensu,[9] Icinga, Zabbix, Netdata,[7] and PRTG; SIEMs such as Elasticsearch[6] and Splunk; and other data sources.

History

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 sources such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server. In 2019, Grafana Labs secured $24 million in Series A funding.[10]

The conference GrafanaCon 2020 was scheduled for May 13-14, 2020, in Amsterdam but was changed to a 2 day online live streaming event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11][12]

Adoption

Grafana is widely used[5] including in Wikipedia infrastructure.[13]
