## Grafana
7861
[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) is an open platform that excels in operational dashboards. It's useful for detecting, isolating, and triaging operational incidents, combining visualizations of Azure and non-Azure data sources including on-premises, third party tools, and data stores in other clouds. Grafana has popular plugins and dashboard templates for APM tools such as Dynatrace, New Relic, and App Dynamics which enables users to visualize Azure platform data alongside other metrics from higher in the stack collected by other tools. It also has AWS CloudWatch and GCP BigQuery plugins for multi-cloud monitoring in a single pane of glass.

Some Azure Monitor partners provide visualization functionality. For a list of partners that Microsoft has evaluated, see [Azure Monitor partner integrations](./partners.md). An Azure Monitor partner might provide out-of-the-box visualizations to save you time, although these solutions may have an additional cost.
