Grafana
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Grafana when building or maintaining systems that require monitoring, such as web applications, microservices, or cloud infrastructure, to gain insights into performance, troubleshoot issues, and set up alerts
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in DevOps and SRE roles for visualizing metrics from tools like Prometheus, InfluxDB, or Elasticsearch, enabling proactive management of system health and resource utilization
- +Related to: prometheus, influxdb
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Kibana
Developers should learn Kibana when working with large-scale log, metric, or event data that requires real-time monitoring, troubleshooting, and business intelligence
Pros
- +It is essential for use cases such as application performance monitoring (APM), security analytics (SIEM), and operational dashboards in DevOps or IT environments
- +Related to: elasticsearch, logstash
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Grafana if: You want it is particularly useful in devops and sre roles for visualizing metrics from tools like prometheus, influxdb, or elasticsearch, enabling proactive management of system health and resource utilization and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Kibana if: You prioritize it is essential for use cases such as application performance monitoring (apm), security analytics (siem), and operational dashboards in devops or it environments over what Grafana offers.
