Data Source Plug-In
Most common
Data source plugins give users the ability to effortlessly query your data in place through API’s. Contrary to integrations, data source plugins do not require your customers to ingest the data in Grafana Labs backends, which gives you greater control over where your customer data is ingested.
Examples: Influx Datasource, Cognite Data Fusion Data Source, Google Cloud Logging Datasource
Application Plug-In
Most comprehensive
Create an opinionated user experience by combining data sources, out-of the box dashboards, UI extensions, and scenes for the ultimate ease of use, with the same benefit of full control over the customer data. This is how Grafana Labs is delivering our own product experiences.
Examples: Redis App, Azure Cloud Native Monitoring App, AWS IoT TwinMaker App, 3cx App
Infrastructure Observability Integration
Most streamlined
Give your users the most integrated experience by using Grafana Agent to collect and forward metrics, logs, and traces to Grafana Cloud. This integration ensures full monitoring of your technology’s health and aggregates the data alongside telemetry signals from other platforms and applications.
Examples: Supabase integration, MongoDB integration, Confluent Cloud integration
