Alibaba Cloud Grafana Service allows you to start the Grafana runtime environment without the need to perform O&M operations. You can log on to the Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS) console with your Alibaba Cloud account to use Grafana Service. You can also authorize other accounts to use the service.

Grafana Service helps you efficiently analyze and view metrics, logs, and traces. You do not need to pay attention to complicated tasks such as server configurations and software updates. This improves O&M efficiency and reduces your workloads. In addition, the cloud-native capabilities of Alibaba Cloud improve the security and availability of Grafana Service.

Grafana Service provides various Alibaba Cloud data sources, such as ARMS, Prometheus Service, and Log Service. It also provides dashboards for built-in data sources. In addition, you can use self-managed data stores in virtual private clouds (VPCs), such as Elasticsearch and InfluxDB.

Alibaba Cloud Grafana Service is compatible with open source Grafana. For more information, see Grafana official documentation.
