Connective intelligence with Knowledge Graph

Knowledge Graph is the connective intelligence foundation built into Grafana Cloud:

  • The engine that powers the opinionated observability experience across turnkey solutions (Kubernetes Monitoring, Application Observability, Database Observability, and Frontend Observability)
  • Automatically discovers your services, infrastructure, and databases, maps how they depend on each other
  • Continuously analyzes your environment for issues
    Knowledge Graph: automatic mapping, detection, and investigation

Core capabilities

  • Entity Catalog, where you can view all entities (services, hosts, pods, databases) and their relationships
  • RCA (root cause analysis) Workbench, where you view correlated metrics, logs, traces, and insights on a timeline for guided investigation
  • Insights, which surfaces five categories of issues:
    • Saturation: Resources approaching limits (CPU, memory, disk, connections)
    • Amend: Deployments, config changes, scale events
    • Anomaly: Unusual patterns in traffic or behavior (request rate spikes or drops, latency changes)
    • Failure: System deviating from desired state (pod crashes, missing Redis master, controller errors)
    • Error: Problematic requests (5xx errors, latency threshold breaches, error log rate breaches)
