Video: How to get started with MongoDB and Grafana

MongoDB is one of the most popular NoSQL databases in the world, used by millions of developers to store application metrics from e-commerce transactions to user logins. The MongoDB Enterprise plugin for Grafana — which is available for users with a Grafana Cloud account or with a Grafana Enterprise license — unlocks all of the data stored in MongoDB as well as diagnostic metrics for monitoring MongoDB itself for visualization, exploration, and alerting.

Monitoring smart city IoT devices with Grafana and Grafana Loki: Inside the Fuelics observability stack

For smart cities of the future, monitoring infrastructure metrics like fuel and water levels is vital to optimizing operations. Fuelics PC designs and deploys battery-operated narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) sensors that monitor fuel, water, waste, and even parking capacity at the edge, then transmit that data to the cloud for easy viewing and monitoring.

How Grafana Mimir helped Pipedrive overcome Prometheus scalability limits

Karl-Martin Karlson has been working on Pipedrive’s observability team for more than four years, implementing and supporting several observability platforms such as Grafana, Prometheus, Graylog, and New Relic. In sales, as in life, you can’t control your results — but you can control your actions. With that in mind, a team of sales professionals set out in 2010 to build a customer relationship management (CRM) tool that helps users visualize their sales processes and get more done.

Introducing instant Kubernetes logging with Kubernetes Monitoring in Grafana Cloud

Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana are a trio of technologies that have transformed cloud native development. However, despite how powerful these three technologies are, developers still face gaps in the process of implementing a mature Kubernetes environment.

New in Grafana Mimir: Ingest Graphite, Datadog, Influx, and Prometheus metrics into a single storage backend
