Grafana
Grafana is an open-source analytics and monitoring platform that allows you to visualize and analyze metrics from various data sources. In the context of Natron Managed Kubernetes Service, Grafana provides powerful dashboards and visualization tools to monitor the performance and health of your Kubernetes clusters and applications.
Features
