Managed Grafana for scalable cloud monitoring

Grafana is the leading open-source platform for transforming metrics, logs, and traces into powerful dashboards. Exoscale Managed Grafana enables users to visualize metrics, logs, and traces collected from any application. The open source observability platform is the ideal solution for assembling data to inspect your stack. Data sources like Prometheus or database engines can be easily connected to Grafana. Dashboards can be easily created using these data sources and can display visualizations such as graphs, heat maps, charts, and histograms. Interact with your data, from real-time graphing of time series data to analyzing log files or leveraging insights from your SQL database. This makes monitoring simpler, troubleshooting faster, and provides real-time visibility into your cloud workloads.

Optimize data-driven business decisions

Marketing, product, and sales leaders need a single, trusted view of the key metrics driving the business. With Managed Grafana as the shared analytics layer, teams track live KPIs, compare campaigns and cohorts, and guide roadmaps based on customer behavior rather than intuition. The outcome is faster decisions, clearer accountability, and a shared framework for growth across the organization.

Monitor Internet of Things (IoT) operations in real-time

Manufacturers, logistics providers, and energy operators rely on continuous telemetry from machines, vehicles, and sensors to keep operations running smoothly. Managed Grafana consolidates these signals so operations teams can identify emerging issues, reduce unplanned downtime, and improve throughput and safety. The result is steadier output, fewer disruptions, and measurable gains in OEE across sites and shifts.

Track cloud costs in real time

As cloud usage scales, finance and engineering teams need a shared view of where spend originates and how to optimize it. Managed Grafana enables a cost-aware operating rhythm: teams align budgets with usage patterns, rightsize capacity ahead of demand, and eliminate waste without slowing delivery.
