An entire suite of observability solutions

Full-stack observability compatible with OpenTelemetry thanks to a combination of a rich set of attributes with a semantic understanding of relationships
Auto-discovery of system elements, built into graph of connected entities
Support beyond OpenTelemetry for areas still maturing in the open source project, like Prometheus-only instrumentation, profiling, and frontend observability

Migrate to OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry is quickly becoming the de facto standard for observability, and Grafana Cloud can support you at every step of the journey

Unprecedented vendor neutrality

One standard for metrics, logs, traces, and profiles
One SDK for all your signals, with strong backward compatibility and support

Operate at scale with confidence by centrally managing multiple telemetry collector deployments with Fleet Management
Quickly adopt application observability with Beyla, an open source eBPF-based auto-instrumentation tool created by Grafana Labs and now part of the OpenTelemetry project

Real stories from real customers

“When we needed a replacement for our previous proprietary vendor, my team recognized that going to Grafana Cloud was a direction that unlocked more flexibility for us in the future. It was definitely a factor in your favor versus some of the ’trade one vendor lock-in for different lock-in’ situations… Having made the jump to OpenTelemetry as part of working with Grafana, I lose less sleep about what could potentially come next."
