+## Grafana
+[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) is an open platform that excels in operational dashboards and visualizing performance and availability data. It's useful for detecting, isolating, and triaging operational incidents. Grafana includes built-in support for Azure Monitor and includes the [Azure Monitor plugin](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/datasources/azuremonitor/) out of the box. It supports visualizing data from three Azure services:
+- Azure Monitor Metrics for numeric time series data from data from Azure resources. 
+- Azure Monitor Logs for log and performance data from Azure resources that enables you to query using the powerful Kusto Query Language (KQL).
+- Azure Resource Graph to quickly query and identify Azure resources across subscriptions.
+
+Grafana works with a wide range of data sources and allows you to create dashboards and panels combining monitoring data from resources in Azure, on premises or other clouds.

+> Internet Explorer 11 is only fully supported in Grafana versions prior v6.0 See [Supported browsers for Grafana](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/installation/requirements/#supported-web-browsers).
+
+Advantages of Grafana include:
 
+- Rich visualizations.
+- A rich ecosystem of data sources, including support for non-Azure data sources.
+- Data interactivity, including zoom-in.
+- Annotations that allow event data to be integrated into graphs.
+- Support for parameters, including [Azure Monitor variables](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/datasources/azuremonitor/template-variables/).
+
+Limitations include:
+
+- You can't manage dashboards and models through Azure Resource Manager.
+- The cost to support additional Grafana infrastructure or additional cost for Grafana Cloud.
 ## Power BI
 [Power BI](https://powerbi.microsoft.com/documentation/powerbi-service-get-started/) is useful for creating business-centric dashboards and reports, along with reports that analyze long-term KPI trends. You can [import the results of a log query](visualize/powerbi.md) into a Power BI dataset and then take advantage of its features, such as combining data from different sources and sharing reports on the web and mobile devices.
