Meet your data where it is

Data and tools everywhere

Metrics, logs, traces, and profiles live in different vendors, regions, and stacks
Investigations require switching tools mid-incident
Each new source adds another query language and tool to learn
Some data can’t leave your network because of security, compliance, or data-residency rules

You can send data to Grafana Cloud or connect to it where it lives. Many teams use both.

Send data to Cloud. Send your telemetry to managed backends. Grafana can perform storage and scaling for you. Your options include:
- Grafana Alloy, a vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry Collector distribution
- The OpenTelemetry-native OTLP endpoint for OTel SDKs and collectors
- Existing agents and formats, including Prometheus, Graphite, InfluxDB, and Datadog for metrics and Jaeger and Zipkin for traces
- Integrations that set up collection plus preconfigured dashboards and alerts for common technologies, including operating systems, databases, web servers, and cloud services, in minutes
Connect to data where it lives. Keep your data in its existing location.
- Query existing systems through data source plugins
- Reach sources that can’t leave your network with Private Data Source Connect, which keeps them off the public internet
