Grafana Pyroscope
Pyroscope data source for Grafana
Note: This core plugin was extracted from the grafana/grafana repository and is now developed and released from this repository.
Overview
Grafana Pyroscope is an open-source, horizontally scalable continuous profiling backend. The Pyroscope data source plugin lets Grafana query and visualize CPU, memory, goroutine, and other profiles stored in a Pyroscope server, so engineers can investigate performance regressions alongside metrics, logs, and traces.
This repository hosts the standalone Pyroscope plugin built from pkg/main.go
and the frontend in src/, distributed through the Grafana plugin catalog.
The legacy plugin id phlare is retained as an alias for backwards
compatibility with existing dashboards and provisioning.
