As a composable solution, Grafana allows you to bring your data into dashboards natively without having to extract it, load it, or transform it. We believe in a “big tent” philosophy, which allows you to choose the tools that best suit your observability strategy, and with our plugins, Grafana is interoperable with more than 100 data sources.
It’s been a busy couple of months at Logz.io. We’ve added new features, made critical updates, and added a slew of integrations.

How many servers can be managed by one system administrator? This question is not an easy one since it definitely depends on the tasks that need to be operated.
