Grafana and NGINX are partnering to give the open source community a turnkey experience for visibility

Grafana and NGINX have partnered to enhance visibility and observability for the open-source community by tightly integrating their tools. This collaboration aims to provide a seamless experience for users by combining Grafana’s visualization capabilities with NGINX’s metrics and logging features, resulting in a comprehensive monitoring solution. Grafana has become a leading tool for visualization in the open-source market, while NGINX, now under F5's ownership, focuses on providing extensive metrics and logging insights through tools like Prometheus and Loki. The partnership intends to reduce the time to value and friction for users by offering an integrated platform that brings together metrics, logs, and tracing, thus enabling users to efficiently monitor and manage their application environments. By leveraging NGINX's Prometheus exporter and Grafana's visualization capabilities, users can gain a complete picture of their systems' performance and health. The joint effort also emphasizes the importance of observability in managing distributed systems, highlighting the need for a cohesive approach to handle the increasing volume of data signals coming from various sources.
