The connection between metrics, logs, and traces could be improved. Currently, one needs to ingest labels and timestamps for them to be connected, however, drilling down sometimes takes time. It would be beneficial to have a unified view for troubleshooting services.

I find Grafana really hard to configure. It's difficult to build the dashboard, and it's non-intuitive. In my opinion, it's very difficult to work with Grafana.
One area for improvement is if Grafana had its own data source. This would enhance its functionality. Additionally, integrating AI capabilities for automated self-healing and reduced manual interventions would be valuable.
In terms of what Grafana provides, it just provides the charting tools. Everything else is third-party. It's like Node-RED. Node-RED is free, and you can choose an application, but that application depends on the person who's supporting it. If they decide not to support it, then you're stuck. However, I believe that it can't be improved or changed because people have to make money and make a living from it. Nothing will ever be changed. It depends on the software. Same as Windward. Windward just decided it could not support a large number of customers, so it focused on high-income, low-volume clients. Whereas Node-RED has millions of followers and fantastic support, the same as Grafana. Grafana is partly free, but it's your problem. That's how all these companies work. If you're big and you pay a lot of money, they'll pay attention to you.

I have encountered occasional issues with false inputs or incorrect data in Grafana, but I am not sure whether these stem from the tool itself or our configuration. In terms of improvements, while Grafana serves our monitoring needs well, additional functions like enhanced application flow visualization could be beneficial for providing more comprehensive insights into our systems.

The tool needs to show only fewer updates.

The solution should include integration with Power BI.
