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.

Powerful, Flexible Observability with Grafana Labs
Reviewed on Mar 02, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Grafana Labs is its flexibility and strong visualization capabilities. Grafana makes it straightforward to create interactive, real-time dashboards by pulling data from multiple sources such as Prometheus, Elasticsearch, and various cloud platforms. The interface feels intuitive and highly customizable, which makes it especially well-suited for monitoring complex microservices environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback of Grafana Labs is that the more advanced features and enterprise capabilities can get expensive as you scale, particularly in larger environments with high data volumes.
For beginners, the initial dashboard setup and alert configuration can also feel a bit complex. Once you start integrating multiple data sources across distributed systems, it can take a while to fully understand how to structure queries, manage permissions, and set up alerting logic correctly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grafana Labs addresses the challenge of fragmented observability by bringing metrics, logs, and traces together in a single, unified platform. Rather than jumping between multiple tools, I can visualize, compare, and correlate everything in one place.
This has noticeably improved our troubleshooting speed, provides clearer visibility across microservices, and helps our team make faster, data-driven decisions with greater confidence.

Flexible, Clear Dashboards with Powerful Integrations and Alerting
Reviewed on Feb 27, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Grafana Labs is the flexibility and clarity it offers for visualizing metrics. In our projects, we handle a lot of monitoring data, and Grafana makes it easy to turn raw metrics into meaningful, easy-to-read dashboards. The UI is clean, and we can customize panels to fit our requirements.
I also really appreciate its integration capabilities. It connects smoothly with Prometheus, Kubernetes, and other data sources without much complexity. Being able to pull metrics from different systems and view everything in one place gives us better visibility into overall system performance.
Alerting is another strong point. We can set up alerts based on thresholds, which helps us respond quickly when something goes wrong. Overall, Grafana makes monitoring more organized, visually clear, and easier to manage in day-to-day operations.

What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike about Grafana Labs is that the initial setup and dashboard configuration can feel confusing, especially for someone new to monitoring tools. There are so many options and settings that it takes time to understand how to properly configure data sources and write the right queries.
Writing queries—particularly with Prometheus (PromQL)—can also be fairly complex. If a query isn’t written correctly, the dashboard may not show accurate data, and tracking down what went wrong can take extra time and effort.
Another minor concern is that when there are too many dashboards and panels, managing everything can become difficult without good organization. That said, once I get used to the structure and establish a system, it becomes much more manageable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grafana Labs mainly addresses the challenge of monitoring visibility. In complex projects with many services, servers, and containers running at the same time, it can be hard to understand system performance by relying only on logs or raw metrics. Grafana helps us turn that monitoring data into clear, meaningful dashboards.
In our experience, it has made it easier to track application performance, CPU and memory usage, API response times, and overall system health in one place. Rather than jumping between multiple tools, we can view everything on a single dashboard, which saves a lot of time.
It also supports early issue detection. When a metric crosses a threshold, we receive alerts and can respond quickly before it turns into a bigger problem. Overall, this improves system stability and helps reduce downtime.

Exceptional Global Network Visibility with Easy Data Export
Reviewed on Feb 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
This is one of the best tools available for keeping track of network infrastructure globally. It allows all global offices to be monitored with exceptionally detailed, live visibility into critical network points, and the data can be exported for use across various platforms, such as Power BI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I don’t have any major complaints. The only thing I can think of is that it would be helpful if the data timeline could be extended to cover a few months or even years, although this option might already exist—I’m just not sure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It monitors all network equipment live, with very detailed specifications, and it will send you a notification—like a ticket in ServiceNow—if any network element goes down or isn’t functioning well.

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.
