Grafana Cloud, our composable observability platform, is billed based on usage. A common question we get is: “How much will it cost to monitor N servers?” Well, the recently expanded Grafana Cloud Free tier includes up to 10,000 active series. To help you understand what that translates to in terms of time series requirements, here’s a rough guide to estimating what you’ll need.
Grafana is a powerful open-source visualization solution that provides valuable insights into the performance of infrastructure, applications, and servers. With customizable visualizations and support for diverse data sources and formats, Grafana allows IT teams to collect and visualize data from various sources.
Grafana creator Torkel Ödegaard will never forget the very first GrafanaCON in 2015, when he shared some big news with the audience gathered in New York City. “I’ll always remember standing on stage and announcing that we just reached 12,000 instances and being super proud because it was just a couple of months after we started tracking these numbers,” says Torkel, who also launched Grafana Labs with co-founders Raj Dutt and Anthony Woods in 2014.
Today marked the second full day of GrafanaCON 2023, and all the excitement from yesterday certainly did not wane. Attendees and speakers alike continued to buzz about the Grafana 10 release — and so much more.
We are beyond thrilled to announce the arrival of Grafana 10, which was highlighted during the GrafanaCON 2023 keynote. The latest major release of the popular visualization and monitoring tool, which now has more than 20 million users around the world, is not just about introducing new features. Grafana 10 is also about enabling you to achieve more — more analysis, more collaboration, more insights, more efficiency and, of course, more beautiful dashboards. Grafana: download now!
GrafanaCON 2023 marks a huge milestone: It’s the official release of Grafana 10 and also the kick-off to celebrating a decade of dashboarding with Grafana. The GrafanaCON 2023 opening keynote, delivered by Grafana Labs co-founders Raj Dutt, Torkel Ödegaard, and Anthony Wood, streamed live on June 13 from Stockholm, Sweden, the birthplace of Grafana.
From IoT monitoring to green IT, the first full day of GrafanaCON 2023 covered a lot of ground. It all kicked off with the keynote address, where Torkel Ödegaard, Grafana Labs CGO and co-founder — and the creator of Grafana — officially unveiled our latest major release, Grafana 10, alongside Director of Engineering Mihaela Maior.
We’ve all been there: Sleeping peacefully in bed over the weekend, finally getting rest after a long week at your computer making AI-generated memes writing code. Then at 3 a.m., your phone makes an ungodly sound, and you wake up startled, frazzled, and confused. When you finally type in your passcode to unlock your phone (because facial recognition doesn’t register your bleary-eyed, squinty face), you see an alert, and all dreams of sleep are over.
