intermediateMonitoring: Logs, Metrics, Prometheus & Grafana
What role does Grafana play relative to Prometheus?
Grafana is a visualization and alerting layer, not a metrics store itself. It connects to Prometheus (or other data sources) as a backend, executes PromQL queries to populate dashboard panels, and can evaluate threshold-based alerting rules that trigger notifications to channels like Slack or PagerDuty.
