# About Grafana
Grafana is a general purpose dashboard and graph composer. It's focused on providing
rich ways to visualize time series metrics, mainly though graphs but supports other ways to visualize data through
a pluggable panel architecture. It currently has rich support for [Graphite](http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/),
[InfluxDB](http://influxdb.org) and [OpenTSDB](http://opentsdb.net). But supports other data sources via plugins.
Grafana is a leading open source application for visualizing your large scale time series measurement data.
It is most commonly used for infrastructure monitoring, application monitoring and metric analytics. But Grafana
has an open architecture and design that enables it to be used in other domains as well, like home automation,
weather and industrial sensors analytics.
It provides a powerful and elegant way to create and share dashboards and data from your metrics, either with your team or with the world.
