# Causely Grafana Plugin

**Causely** delivers instant value — no complex setup required. It shifts your teams from reactive firefighting to proactive control. Instead of drowning in alerts, Causely tells you what matters: which failures are happening, why they’re happening, and how to fix them — all inside Grafana.

## What is Causely

Causely is a [Causal AI platform](https://www.causely.ai/) that supercharges your observability stack by using built-in intelligence to analyze your telemetry data and infer root causes in real time. It enables self-managed, resilient applications by combining observability with automated decision-making.

Use Causely to:

- **Ensure Continuous Reliability**: Automatically meet KPIs, SLAs, SLOs, and SLIs by detecting and resolving reliability issues before users are impacted.
- **Improve Operational Efficiency**: Reduce MTTR and alert fatigue. Eliminate hours of manual troubleshooting and correlation work.
- **Accelerate Feature Delivery**: Confidently ship new services by understanding the impact of every change across your environment.

The **Causely Grafana Plugin** brings this reasoning directly into Grafana dashboards — showing root causes, impacted services, and SLO risks in context. It works by analyzing OpenTelemetry (OTEL) traces and metrics from your environment.

## Requirements

An active Causely subscription. You can sign up for a free trial [here](https://www.causely.ai/try).

## Install the Plugin on Grafana Cloud

**Prerequisite:**

- Grafana Cloud account (including the free tier)
- Causely credentials (either clientId/secret or username/password)

**Steps:**

1. In Grafana Cloud, go to **Administration** > **Plugins and data** > **Plugins** in the side navigation menu.
2. Search for the **Causely** plugin and click to open the plugin page.
3. Navigate to the **Configuration** tab
4. Enter a valid **Causely clientId/secret** or **Causely username/password**.
5. Click **Save Causely Credentials**.

## Install the Plugin Directly

Use the `GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS` environment variable when running Grafana:

```

or alternatively install using the Grafana CLI:

```sh
grafana cli plugins install esara-causely-app
```

## What You Get

With Causely + Grafana, you can:

- View the **root causes of all active anomalies** across your environment
- Identify the **highest priority issue** impacting your services right now
- Detect **SLOs at risk**, before they’re violated
- See **service impact analysis and resolution recommendations** — all inside your Grafana dashboards
- Feed Causely root cause alerts directly into **Grafana Alertmanager**, enriching your existing incident response workflows

All of this is powered by Causely’s real-time reasoning engine, and enabled within minutes via [Grafana Beyla](https://github.com/grafana/beyla) — an eBPF-based auto-instrumentation agent that connects to your Kubernetes workloads with zero code changes.
