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.

Grafana’s “Bring Your Own Data” Flexibility Is a Game-Changer
Reviewed on Aug 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Grafana is its "bring your own data" philosophy. Unlike traditional monitoring platforms that force you to ingest all data into their proprietary backend. Grafana lets you leave your data exactly where it lives.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Grafana is extremely powerful, the learning curve can be steep for non-expert users. Mastering domain-specific query language like PromQL and TraceQL takes time, and configuring complex dashboard often requires significant setup
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It eliminates vendor lock-in by supporting a wide range of open-source and proprietary data sources through plugins.

Proactive Site Monitoring with Handy Alerts
Reviewed on Aug 06, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
In my current job, it lets us check whether there are any issues with customer sites, and we can set up alerts so we don’t have to continuously monitor the information.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a bit of extra work at first to get everything properly set up and defined, but once that’s done, there’s really nothing to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grafana does the checking and testing for us. It saves our time and thus money for the company. We can use our time on other things.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Grafana Labs is that it can become overly complex when you’re managing a lot of dashboards and data sources. You really have to stay organized, otherwise it’s easy to lose track of where things are and get lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grafana Labs solves the problem of scattered, hard‑to‑understand system data — it brings everything together into clear dashboards so you can actually see what’s happening in real time and act fast.

Single Pane of Glass Dashboards Built in Minutes—No SQL Needed
Reviewed on Aug 04, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Single pane of glass, It helps us to capture data from more than 150 sources directly without needing to move or consolidate data.Most Important feature is dashboards can be set up in minutes, and queries can be built without deep SQL or coding knowledge.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes scalability and slowness in dashboards can occur occasionally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Engineering teams juggle dashboards, logs, and alerts across too many tools, only seeing part of the story. Signal without context is just noise.
Benefit: Grafana Cloud connects to 150+ data sources, unifying metrics, logs, traces, and profiles into a single pane of glass — so teams get full context, not just fragments.
