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, and Community-Driven Observability Platform
Reviewed on Dec 17, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Grafana Labs is its robust open-source foundation, paired with a dedicated focus on addressing real-world observability challenges. The products offer both power and flexibility, while the community-driven approach fosters ongoing innovation. Additionally, the company culture stands out for its emphasis on transparency, continuous learning, and making a meaningful impact for customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform may seem complicated to newcomers, as there is a noticeable learning curve when it comes to setup and more advanced configurations. Additionally, certain features demand a higher level of technical expertise, which can make it harder for teams without a strong technical background to adopt the platform quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grafana Labs addresses the challenge of limited visibility in complex systems by unifying metrics, logs, and traces within a single observability platform. This integration allows me to identify issues more quickly, gain real-time insights into system behavior, and minimize downtime, which in turn enhances both reliability and my confidence in operations.

Robust Monitoring with Room for Improvement
Reviewed on Dec 12, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like the features in Grafana Labs for monitoring alerts in the dashboard and initiating the issue with our leadership team. The real-time visibility into system health, security events, and operational anomalies through monitoring alerts in a centralized dashboard is excellent. This proactive approach allows potential issues to be detected early, often before they escalate into service disruptions or security incidents. The initial setup was relatively straightforward, and the process of installing, integrating with data sources, and creating basic dashboards was easy with the help of the available documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Grafana Labs is a powerful and flexible observability platform, there are a few areas where improvements could enhance usability and operational efficiency: Dashboard performance with large data sets, plugin compatibility and maintenance, and alerting configuration complexity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Grafana Labs for monitoring GCP platform resources. It helps by sending alerts during peak time, offering real-time visibility, detecting potential issues early, and preventing service disruptions.

Powerful Network Monitoring with Customizable Dashboards
Reviewed on Dec 02, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I love the graphical user interface (GUI) of Grafana Labs, which is beneficial for both end users and management teams. I find the dashboard designs to be outstanding and appreciate the customizable visualizations that make data interpretation more intuitive. The dynamic filtering and variables allow for flexible data interaction, making it easier to tailor the experience to specific needs. Additionally, the alert configuration via the GUI enhances usability and responsiveness. Overall, the setup process of Grafana Labs was impressive and less time-consuming than expected, taking around six months to integrate with the entire network effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the alerting capabilities of Grafana Labs limiting. Although the alerts are powerful, crafting advanced alert logic often requires proficiency in PromQL or the use of custom queries. This complexity can be challenging for those who do not have a developer background, making it difficult to fully utilize the alerting features without specialized knowledge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Grafana Labs for real-time network security monitoring, which solves lack of visibility, delayed incident detection, and manual reporting issues. It offers customizable dashboards and alerting, improving my response time and efficiency.
