Grafana review

Commentaires : My overall experience with Grafana was positive. The software was easy to use and the visual representations of the data were visually appealing. The documentation available was helpful and clear, making it easy to understand how to use the software.

Avantages :

I like that Grafana is highly customizable and allows for a wide range of data sources. With the ability to visualize data from multiple sources, it makes it easier to create dynamic and interactive dashboards for data analysis and monitoring. Additionally, Grafana offers a wide range of plugins and integrations, making it easier to integrate with other services.

Inconvénients :

One of the things I least like about Grafana is that it can be difficult to navigate and understand how to use the various features. There are many different options and functions that can be overwhelming for those just getting started.

Grafana for proof of concept

Avantages :

Low-code software that is very easy to create meaningful visualizations and dashboards that can be deployed in a real-life scenario within a few hours.

Grafana review

Avantages :

Grafana is a user-friendly open-source platform for customizing data visualizations and monitoring. It offers powerful and flexible tools and a large community for support.

Inconvénients :

Grafana was challenging to set up and configure, and the interface and features were difficult to learn. The dashboard customization could be improved and there were limited official data sources, which made integrating other sources difficult.

Grafana Review

Avantages :

Grafana is a great tool offering connections to several types of data source (sql, postgresql, ...), allowing the user to query and plot the data. In addition, it provides the users with a dashboard where they can find all the visualizations they created such as graphs, tables and many more.

Inconvénients :

Despites its interesting features, Grafana is a bit complex to deploy and to utilize; it necessitates a bunch of expertise and information in a variety of fields. A complex dashboard, for example, requires competence in JSON.

The most advances data visualization tool

Commentaires : Perfect tool for big data services which allow visualization in various graphs and tables.

Avantages :

Grafana is complete solution to collect data from services and visualize them in web application interface using various charts and tables. You are allowed to configure workers witch collect data from services like Apacha, Redis or etc. You can visualize metrics using special queries in Grafana language. Performance is furious also for big data projects.

Inconvénients :

It can be hard to understand queries to visualize data. Also you need some knowledge to deploy this product and configure collectors.

Grafana - Dashboards, Alerts and much more !!!!

Avantages :

- API based dashboards for real time visibility - Easy setup of alerts with various channels - Email, PagerDuty,Slack

Inconvénients :

- None as of now. Would be great though if they can provide more insights onto logs too like ELK

Good tool for monitoring purpose

Commentaires : Overall, The Grafana is very simple and easily configuration tool. We can monitoring & visualize data with this tool also integrate with third party tool.

Avantages :

- Easy to setup & configuration- User management is very good- Customize our own dashboard & graph- Send Alert notification when threshold value is up.- Easily understand & readable logs

Inconvénients :

- Some feature is not working on free open source version- Limited data type visualizations such as count, numbers and time duration- Limited option & designs for create graph & dashboard

Grafana log monitoring

Avantages :

Able to monitore the error logs and debugging

Inconvénients :

Takes time more sometimes to load the logs

Experience with Grafana

Commentaires : Se ha utilizado Grafana para generar dashboards de monitoreo, pudiendo centralizar las métricas de distintas soluciones de monitoreo como Prometheus, Zabbix, etc.

Avantages :

The ability to generate visually attractive, efficient dashboards that help the operations area understand what is happening on the monitored platforms.

Inconvénients :

That different data sources cannot be used in the same graph at the same time, causing a visual comparison of the data to be difficult.

Highly customizable open source monitoring tool

Commentaires : As previously mentioned, we now use free Grafana instead of 6-figure $$$ monitoring software we used to pay for, and we can monitor more systems, customize better, and get more detail than we could get with that expensive software. We monitor current and historical performance and capacity on our Dell storage arrays (ECS, XtremIO, VxFlex), Unix/Linux operating systems, and VMWare vSphere. Surprisingly, it is easier to use and gives better dashboards insight than commercial products we have paid many thousands of dollars for. But, as stated before, to get the most out of this, you really need to put this in the hands of someone who understands the internals of what you are monitoring (OS and/or storage arrays), understands databases, and preferably someone who is good with coding.

Avantages :

Grafana is extremely highly customizable. You can create your own dashboards exactly how you want them. There are many plugins available online -- for us, there is a plugin for just about any storage array or operating system we want to monitor. We now use free Grafana instead of 6-figure $$$ monitoring software we used to pay for, and we can monitor more systems, customize better, and get more detail than we could get with that expensive software. Updates for Grafana are easy to find and install.

Inconvénients :

Since it is free and open source, there is no support, but you might be able to find some 3rd-party support you could pay for. You really need to put this in the hands of someone who understands the internals of what you are monitoring (OS and/or storage arrays), understands databases, and preferably someone who is good with coding to get the most out of the product.

One of the best analytics and visualization tools that every team should have

Commentaires : We deployed Grafana so we could get insights on all of our environments as well as alerts when something goes wrong. So far it has been doing great and we are planning to develop dashboards for other teams in the company.

Avantages :

Although dashboard creation might be difficult at first, once you get to know Grafana, creating pretty and useful dashboards is quick and easy. Being open source is also a great characteristic Grafana is easy to integrate with all the other tools and services your team might have, such as Slack, SQL databases, Elasticsearch databases, etc... Also, the alert monitoring feature is very useful, powerful and easy to configure

Inconvénients :

Grafana is a very complete but complex tool. The initial configuration is complex and cumbersome. Dashboard creation has a steep learning curve (although very short) and the creation of more complex dashboards requires knowledge of JSON. Also, when Grafana can get slow, specially when you try to render a lot of data at the same time (for example, months of 1s granular data)

Visualization for your data

Commentaires : Overall we have been able to accomplish something we never have before and track trends and pin point possible issues.

Avantages :

The dashboards that are built with Grafana are very appealing. Everyone from basic users, high level management and Engineers find the data visualization extremely beneficial.

Inconvénients :

Getting the dashboards built out exactly how you want can sometimes be difficult.

Metric Dashboard

Commentaires : Very intuitive and well designed. Good product for network devices monitoring and gauge.

Avantages :

Nice graphical dashboard panel that show network device utilization, data and stats including time stamps which can be download.

Inconvénients :

It doesn't have the ability to set multiple dates/ times graphs in a single panel for comparison purposes. Product might need to consider optional PDF along with CSV when download files.

Data visualization with Grafana

Commentaires : Overall Grafana is very user friendly and at the same time stands well when compared to other major visualization tools.

Avantages :

Grafana gives the ability to produce beautiful data visualizations that offer realtime insights into the data set s thanks to its rich collection of graphs and visuals. It supports connectivity with numerous data sources like excel, csv, SQL etc. The created dashboards are opened in web browser that gives great opportunity to share and present on network operation centre main screen. The dashboards developed are scalable and flexible.

Inconvénients :

In the start it takes little bit of effort to come up with a visualization that you need to develop there on its fairly easy and scalable.

My Experience using Grafana

Commentaires : Visualising got easy to manage cloud monitoring services as able to integrate different clouds on the same dashboard. It can be easily configured with most Databases as Relational, Time-Series. The alert system is the most effective one which we can make use of in Grafana to set the Alerts and all.

Avantages :

The most I like to have this software used as its free to use and also its an open source software. Grafana consists of various kinds of authenticating methods and security level setup. It has a an alert and monitoring tool which keeps on updating after a threshold value for which is set. It has chances of new developments and API interaction, Creation of new measurements and demonstrating concerning different devices

Inconvénients :

Everything has a limit, as its Limits charts to Time Series, It is not self manageable. The dashboard also has a very limited organisation. The UI isnt that much effective, as its having a very limited designs. It has set its boundaries to time series only, as its not comparitively well organised with respect of other tools in the market such as Power BI etc...

Grafana_02-07-2022

Commentaires : I forked it and i use it on timeseries data reporting.

Avantages :

It is unrivaled to monitoring and reporting time series data.

Inconvénients :

it has no multi language support and it has need to improvement visual query builder.

Great monitoring platform

Commentaires : Grafana is brilliant for monitoring. I use it constantly as a quick and easy way to check metrics, system health, and third-party connectivity.

Avantages :

Grafana is a great monitoring front-end for surfacing metrics from a variety of sources. I use Grafana on a daily basis to monitor internal systems (e.g. number of WARNs and ERRORs in logs) and also third-party connectivity (e.g. response times). Absolutely invaluable.

Inconvénients :

Once dashboard are set up they're brilliant. My only complaint is that the initial setup isn't particularly intuitive. I guess that's because of the flexibility to pull data from a variety of sources. And if you have a similar example to copy then it's not so bad.

Grafana nice dashboard to show your metrics

Commentaires : Easy for install with a lot of pluggins for made powerfull graphics

Avantages :

This software can connect with a lot of things, like mysql, postgres, zabbix. This made a powerfull tool for develop a nice dashboard to show any type of graphs.

Inconvénients :

You need to know the main principles of the conector you will use.

Visualization is everything

Commentaires : It has been a great tool for tracking the performance of some internal tools.

Avantages :

You can customize your dashboards as you wish, you can create your own or you can find one from the community.

Inconvénients :

The editor could be a little bit more visual and the UX can be improved.

Metrics + Visualization + Alerts = Bliss

Commentaires : 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).

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Perfect software to visualice the behaviour of your infrastructure!!!

Commentaires : its a great support for my daily work. Easy to use. It's a keeper!

Avantages :

Its easy to use. There is multiple types of graphs to show whatever you need. It has an easy interface with Data Base, log browsers, etc.

Inconvénients :

I was not able to configure a null value when there is no metric for a specific point of time, just between another ones. So the graph shows a continuos line, but there should be an empty space in the middle

Keep en eye on your logs and metrics

Commentaires : Use for our kubernetes service supervision and notification alarming

Avantages :

Thank to Grafana loki, we where able to put at the same place our service logs and prometeus metrics.

Inconvénients :

Grafana and Grafan loki are not easy to fine tune, and for a service dashboard you need to setup it your self. Fortunatly, for a majority of known service , an exsiting dashboard eventually already exist as template on grafana site.
