# About Grafana
|
|
|
|
Grafana is a general purpose dashboard and graph composer. It's focused on providing
|
|
rich ways to visualize time series metrics, mainly though graphs but supports other ways to visualize data through
|
|
a pluggable panel architecture. It currently has rich support for [Graphite](http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/),
|
|
[InfluxDB](http://influxdb.org) and [OpenTSDB](http://opentsdb.net). But supports other data sources via plugins.
|
|
|
|
It is most commonly used for infrastructure monitoring, application monitoring and metric analytics. But Grafana
|
|
has an open architecture and design that enables it to be used in other domains as well, like home automation,
|
|
weather and industrial sensors analytics.
