We use it to monitor user behavior. We have AI LLM models in NVIDIA Triton. NVIDIA Triton gives us some metrics. These metrics are integrated with Grafana and Prometheus. We monitor user traffic to visualize metrics like p99 latency, increase in user and CPU performance, utilization of the GPUs, RAM utilization, and CPU utilization.

Great product to sort and view logs
Why you should use Grafana for office dashboard
Best data visualization tool!
It supports many types of data sources, but I think it’s best used with InfluxDB.
Easy tool for monitoring
Provides good alerts and is useful for monitoring user traffic and visualizing metrics
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
We use the free templates of the solution. We have tested some alerts on metrics. We like the alert features. We plan to use it more. Slack and PagerDuty alerts in Grafana are helpful.
What needs improvement?
It was pretty complicated to integrate the product into our workflow. We relied on templates we found on the GitHub open-source repositories. It is pretty hard to integrate Grafana and set it up according to our use case. The solution must provide tutorials and guides.
We are a small team. We don't have the time to learn Grafana end-to-end, but we want some guides to help us use it quickly. Prebuilt templates will help a lot. The product must provide more alerting metrics. It must be integrated with iOS and Android mobile phones.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for four months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool’s stability is quite good. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s scalability a six out of ten. Scaling is complex. We have four developers in the organization who use the product.
How was the initial setup?
We have good Docker experience, so the setup was pretty straightforward. We had to run a couple of Docker commands. We integrated everything with Docker Compose. As we scale up, the setup will get complicated. If the number of users increases, we might consider switching to the cloud.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Compared to Elasticsearch, ELK Stack, and Logstash, Grafana is pretty strong. Grafana is way ahead of its competitors. SigNoz is also an alternative to Grafana and Prometheus. SigNoz is pretty easy to set up.
What other advice do I have?
We haven't worked or dived deep into the documentation and tutorial. I will recommend the product to users willing to take the time and patience to set up and learn Grafana in-depth. There are a lot of tools that we can use to build excellent integrations and get the most out of them with little knowledge. However, to leverage the value of Grafana and Prometheus, we must learn the tools in depth. It will save us time, and we can get much value if we invest time and effort. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Monitor your application
A tool that users can understand and learn quickly to use
What is our primary use case?
I use Grafana since it is interconnected with Zabbix. I also use Grafana for the dashboard of machines from VMware and for some network devices connected to Zabbix.
What is most valuable?
The ability to use Grafana with Zabbix is a valuable feature for me. Zabbix provides me with alerts and information if something goes wrong, while Grafana offers a better dashboard that is more stable. If you know Grafana well, it can show you everything, like the uptime of different sources and other areas.
What needs improvement?
I have a problem with Grafana in the area of documentation. There is a problem in the area of some graphs where you connect elements. With Grafana, there is only one name that can be included for ten hours. In Grafana, only one big field with one text name is shown in the documentation. When it comes to production, it is only for a period of time that some fields on each side give the information they have. I researched on Google and other forums and saw that people face problems when they can't connect a field with the same value. The aforementioned area in the tool needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Grafana for nine months. I am a customer of the product.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have always had a stable version of the product. In general, I have not had any issues with the product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The technical personnel in my company use the tool, and it is possible to add or delete devices and other statuses in the solution. Around five people in my company use the product.
How are customer service and support?
I have always used the online forums or the internet to find information related to the product. I have not contacted the tool's technical support.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was very easy.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
For me, Grafana is a cheap tool because I don't have to spend much time learning the product since it is a simple solution. I don't know if there are different paid versions of the product.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
My company chose Grafana over other products in the market considering its integration capabilities with Zabbix, good documentation, and the many topics about the tool that are available on the internet.
What other advice do I have?
I would suggest Grafana to those who use Zabbix because it helps users get a lot of information on networks and resolve a lot of problems.
I could do everything in Grafana with the help of graphs and documentation and get information on different types of devices.
I rate the overall tool an eight to nine out of ten.
Grafana integration
An open-source analytics and monitoring platform that excels in flexible data visualization and diverse data source integration, but may require improvement in automating daily reports
What is our primary use case?
We use it internally to monitor both hardware and virtual machines running on our servers and then generate reports based on the monitoring data.
What is most valuable?
One standout feature is its open-source nature. It excels in providing comprehensive details when there are downtimes or fluctuations, offering thorough reports. From a cost perspective, it stands out positively, especially when compared to other tools, given its robust functionality as an open-source solution.
What needs improvement?
There is a need for improvement in automating daily monitoring reports, especially when alerts are triggered due to system downtimes or fluctuations. This enhancement would make the monitoring tool more efficient and streamlined. While it does produce reports, the quality might not be optimal.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have approximately two years of experience working with it.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't encountered any issues or bugs while using it, and it has been stable throughout.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Numerous users, ranging from five hundred to a maximum of three hundred, frequently engage in upscaling and downscaling activities. The system handles this well, and the performance remains stable, even when multiple users log in and out simultaneously.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not overly complicated nor excessively straightforward. It's a manageable process that involves following a step-by-step approach.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's free of cost; it operates as an open-source tool.
What other advice do I have?
It is recommended for use, and in parallel, WebEx is another open-source tool. Both are straightforward to deploy on a Linux server. The process is simple and similar to each other, and there's no need for any complex procedures. Deploying these monitoring tools on a Linux server is hassle-free. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.
Grafana - graphs for performance analysis
2. Zoom in, zoom out and date range filtering applies to all the panels present in the dashboard, which helps in comparative analysis.
3. Different types of graphs like Gauge chart, Pi chart, Bar chart, line chart etc with interactive user interface is very useful.
4. Interpreting huge amount of data on garphs is made easy with different colours and tool tips.
