Open-source monitoring and observability platform. Turn data into real-time dashboards and alerts. Connects to 150+ data sources including Prometheus, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and CloudWatch. Free open-source + Grafana Cloud free tier (10K metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces). Paid plans available.
A STOA consultant can help you evaluate these tools based on your specific business needs and walk you through implementation.
Talk to STOAGrafana is best for small businesses with a technical person on staff who needs to monitor servers, databases, or app performance in one place. The free tier is genuinely useful and connecting to 150+ data sources is a real strength, but setup is not beginner-friendly — you'll likely need someone comfortable with tech to get real value out of it. If you don't have that person, a simpler dashboard tool will save you a lot of frustration.
