Grafana Dashboards Coming to Microsoft’s Azure Monitor
SEATTLE, May 19, 2025 - Grafana Labs, the company behind the world’s most ubiquitous, open and composable operational dashboards, today announced it is collaborating with Microsoft to integrate Grafana dashboards directly into Microsoft’s Azure Monitor. This agreement establishes Grafana as an integrated visualization experience for Azure users.
Grafana + Microsoft Azure
Azure Monitor dashboards with Grafana will allow customers to create and edit Grafana dashboards directly in the Azure portal without any additional cost and little administrative overhead. Users will have immediate access to preconfigured dashboards for Azure Kubernetes Services, Application Insights, and dozens of other Azure resources, along with the ability to import thousands of dashboards from the Grafana community.
“As part of our commitment to bringing best-of-breed technologies into the Azure ecosystem, Grafana’s built-in dashboard solution in Azure Monitor is now available to our customers to support their real-time operational data needs,” said Dushyant Gill, Group Product Manager, Azure Observability.
The new Azure Monitor dashboards with Grafana provides:
- Native availability within the Azure Portal interface
- Zero additional cost for Azure customers
- Minimal management overhead with Azure RBAC support
- Compatibility with open source Grafana dashboards
Azure Monitor dashboards with Grafana are now available in public preview and support Azure data sources including Azure Monitor metrics, logs, traces, alerts, Azure Resource Graph, and Azure Managed Prometheus metrics.
Making Grafana the Default Visualization Solution Across All Observability Platforms
“Over the years, Grafana has become the de facto standard for the visualization of all observability data, and this partnership represents a watershed moment,” said Ash Mazhari, VP of Corporate Development, Grafana Labs. “By embedding Grafana as a third-party technology directly into the default user experience of the Azure portal, we will bring value to every Azure user. This isn’t just about integration; it’s about becoming an essential part of the daily workflow for the 700,000+ organizations using Azure worldwide.”
This integration strengthens Grafana Labs’ position as the default visualization solution for observability platforms and continues the company’s momentum in establishing deep relationships with major cloud providers and enterprise platforms. As Azure Monitor serves every single Azure customer by default, Grafana dashboards will now be available to millions of developers, operations teams, and business users who rely on Azure’s cloud platform daily.
