Kibana vs. Grafana vs. Prometheus

Our first level NOC and security dashboard

Kibana is used to search our application logs

Logs and application performance

Real-time reporting from elasticsearch

Data visualization

Browse logs.

Log visualization. Wish it could add built-in alert functionality.

Perfect for exploring and visualizing the data available at ElasticSearch

centralized logging.

Used for graphing internal logging data; including metrics related to how fast we serve pages and execute MySQL/ElasticSearch queries.

For logging API requests

Our Kibana instances uses our ElasticSearch search data to help answer any complicated questions we have about our data.

Visualizations & Analytics

Grafana is our monitoring system, with system and applicative dashboards

Create and view dashboard on Prometheus metrics and Logstash logs.

Grafana takes the data from InfluxDB and presents it in a nice flexible format. Bonus points for built-in alerts and playlists (cycles through different dashboards automatically)

Grafana is used in combination with Prometheus to display the gathered stats and to monitor our physical servers aswell as their virtual applications. We also use Grafana to get notifications about irregularities.

Dynamic GRAPHS!

We use Grafana to view live stats relating to our servers such as memory and CPU usage. We also use Grafana to monitor our gaming servers for data such as latency and player counts. This allows us to generate effective analytics and see when problems arise.

Everyone likes graphs, right?! This isn't a tool we actively use right now, but paired with Prometheus we want to use it to have visual monitors on things like API cluster health, status, queue stats, DB/redis query and cache stats etc.

Used for insight into our applications and alerting

Gather metrics from systems and applications. Evaluate alerting rules. Alerts are pushed to OpsGenie and Slack.

We primarily use Prometheus to gather metrics and statistics to display them in Grafana. Aside from that we poll Prometheus for our orchestration-solution "JCOverseer" to determine, which host is least occupied at the moment.
