Alerting and notification integrations (Slack, PagerDuty, email)
Role-based access controls (RBAC) and secure sharing

Multi-tenant support for enterprise-grade environments

Grafana gives you one unified window into your system health, performance, and reliability in a way that’s clear, flexible, and powerful.
