Overview
Grafana Kubernetes Monitoring is an out-of-the-box solution that promptly detects infrastructure issues, optimizes costs & efficiency, predicts resource usage, automates incident management, and adapts to your specific services. It provides:
- Full visibility, from Kubernetes clusters to Kubernetes pods to quickly move throughout your Kubernetes setup in a single UI. Start with a cluster view and drill all the way down to specific Kubernetes pods with just a few clicks.
- Instant Prometheus-correlated logs. Prometheus and Grafana Loki shared metadata keeps the exact same labels for your Kubernetes cluster, so accessing correlated Kubernetes metrics and logs couldnt be easier.
- Better insight into your resource usage. You can dial in on cloud resource usage to optimize efficiency, discover unused and stranded resources, easily determine better pod limits and improved placement, understand your resource management policy imperfections, and decrease your carbon footprint
- Cost monitoring. You can gain better insight into your Kubernetes costs, spending trends, and potential savings with the cost monitoring feature, which is based on the open source project Opencost.

EKS add-on
An add-on is software that provides supporting operational capabilities to Kubernetes applications but isn't specific to the application. This includes software like observability agents or Kubernetes drivers that allow the cluster to interact with underlying AWS resources for networking, compute, and storage. Add-on software is typically built and maintained by the Kubernetes community, cloud providers like AWS, or third-party vendors. Amazon EKS add-ons provide installation and management of a curated set of add-ons for Amazon EKS clusters. All Amazon EKS add-ons include the latest security patches and bug fixes, and are validated by AWS to work with Amazon EKS. Amazon EKS add-ons allow you to consistently ensure that your Amazon EKS clusters are secure and stable and reduce the amount of work that you need to do to install, configure, and update add-ons.

Beautiful Dashboards, Simple Setup, Needs Better Automation
Reviewed on Feb 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use Grafana Labs for monitoring our infrastructure, particularly for Cyberark Devices. I find it to be a simple SQL-based tool that's very efficient for its dashboards and offers a one-view pane to identify exact issues quickly. I like how Grafana has very beautiful dashboards, and we can easily create custom SQL queries to capture any needed information and display it on the dashboard. The level of monitoring it provides is quite accurate. Also, I appreciate that the initial setup is quite simple due to its SQL-based design.
What do you dislike about the product?
Grafana Labs doesn't have native functionality to cut an incident automatically via integration to ticketing tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Grafana Labs for efficient infrastructure monitoring, especially Cyberark devices. Its SQL-based tool simplifies creating custom queries and dashboards, providing accurate monitoring and a single view pane to pinpoint issues.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Grafana provides powerful dashboards and visualizations that make it easy to monitor metrics and logs from multiple data sources. The flexibility and integrations are very helpful for observability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup and dashboard configuration can take time, and tuning alerts or queries requires familiarity with the underlying data sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grafana helps centralize monitoring by visualizing metrics and logs in a single place. This improves visibility into system health, helps detect issues faster, and supports better operational decisions.

Reliable Monitoring Tool for DevOps, but Takes Time to Master Advanced Setup
Reviewed on Jan 27, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I used Grafana during my DevOps internship mainly for monitoring servers and application services. We connected Grafana with Prometheus as the main data source and also used custom metrics from OTel.
What I like most is how easy it becomes to monitor everything from one place once the dashboards are set up. I created dashboards to check service uptime, system metrics and application health and also configured alerts to get notified when something went wrong. The integration with Prometheus queries works well, and real-time metrics help a lot during incidents. It saves time because you don’t have to manually check logs or servers again and again.

What do you dislike about the product?
The main difficulty I faced was during metric integration and dashboard setup, especially when working with custom metrics. For new users, it takes time to understand which metrics to use and how to structure panels properly.
Alert and dashboard configuration can feel complex at first and advanced features have a steep learning curve. Better and more practical documentation for real production use cases would make onboarding easier, especially for interns or beginners.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grafana helps in monitoring servers and services continuously in a production environment. Instead of manually checking systems or logs, we can quickly identify issues using dashboards and alerts.
If a service goes down, it is visible immediately on Grafana, which helps the team respond faster. This improves incident handling and reduces downtime. Overall, it made monitoring more organized and efficient during my internship
