Grafana: Professional Dashboards for Technical and IoT Data
Grafana isn’t a replacement for Looker Studio — it’s a fundamentally different tool for a different problem. Where Looker Studio excels with business reports for stakeholders, Grafana is the visualization layer built for real-time technical data: IoT metrics, time series, infrastructure monitoring. It connects to InfluxDB, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and dozens of other data sources. Free, open source, with native alerting built in.
