# Grafana **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/grafana-com/ **Website:** https://grafana.com **APIs profiled:** 20 Grafana Labs builds the open and composable observability stack used by millions of engineers to visualize, query, alert on, and explore their metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. The flagship Grafana OSS dashboarding platform is paired with Grafana Loki (logs), Grafana Mimir (Prometheus-compatible metrics), Grafana Tempo (distributed traces), and Grafana Pyroscope (continuous profiling) — all under the LGTM stack. Grafana Cloud delivers the entire portfolio as a managed SaaS with a generous free tier, while Grafana Enterprise extends self-managed deployments with premium plugins, reporting, RBAC, LBAC, and caching. The ecosystem extends to Grafana k6 (load testing), Grafana Alloy (OpenTelemetry-native collector), Grafana Beyla (eBPF auto-instrumentation), Grafana Faro (frontend observability), Grafana OnCall (incident response), and Synthetic Monitoring. A canonical OpenAPI specification at public/api-merged.json powers the official Go client, the Terraform provider, the Grafana Operator, and a deep dashboards-as-code toolchain (Foundation SDK, Grafonnet, Grizzly, Scenes). ## Kin Score — 52.3 / 100 (developing) Scored 2026-08-25 under rubric 0.14.0.
