Summary

The Wavefront Enterprise plugin for Grafana offers high-scale, high-speed metrics observability by integrating VMware Tanzu Observability by Wavefront with Grafana dashboards, providing users with a comprehensive view of system health and performance metrics. This plugin is particularly notable for its support of distributed tracing data from Spring Boot applications and its ability to seamlessly integrate with Tanzu Mission Control for Kubernetes cluster management. The plugin offers out-of-the-box Kubernetes dashboards, usage dashboards for monitoring metrics, histograms, and distributed tracing, and supports a mixed data source environment, allowing for the visualization of data from both Wavefront and open-source Prometheus. Users can leverage powerful features such as template variables for dynamic navigation and annotations for alert overlay visualization. Available to Grafana Cloud account holders or those with a Grafana Enterprise license, the Wavefront plugin offers an efficient way to manage and visualize observability data across various platforms.
