What is Grafana?

Grafana is the open platform for beautiful analytics and monitoring.

How It Works

Grafana triggers user defined alerts by monitoring time series metrics.

• When an alert is triggered ('alerting' state) in Grafana, an alert is created in PagerTree automatically.

• When the alert is resolved ('ok' state) in Grafana, the alert is resolved in PagerTree automatically.
