How Grafana is hosted

Valebyte launches the application automatically in a managed container. You receive its URL and application access, but not root access to the host system.

info Overview

Grafana is a self-hosted observability and dashboards platform that visualizes metrics, logs and traces from more than 150 data sources in one place. It connects to Prometheus, Loki, InfluxDB, Graphite, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, MySQL, CloudWatch and many more, then turns them into customizable dashboards, panels and alerts. Grafana is the leading open-source alternative to Datadog, Grafana Cloud and New Relic, and it runs on port 3000.

Valebyte hosting model: Grafana launches automatically as a managed application. Choose a region and resource plan; after checkout you receive the application URL and app-level access, normally within minutes. Valebyte maintains the host infrastructure. Root access to the host is not provided, and infrastructure backups are not enabled automatically.

quiz Frequently Asked Questions

Does Grafana store metrics itself, or do I need Prometheus? expand_more

Grafana does not collect or store metrics — it is the visualization and alerting layer. You point it at a data source that holds the data, such as your own Prometheus, Loki or a database. If you need metric collection too, run Prometheus alongside it as a separate app.

Is self-hosted Grafana a good Datadog alternative? expand_more

Yes. Grafana covers the dashboards, alerting and multi-source visualization that most teams use Datadog for, without usage-based billing. You own your data and pay a flat managed-resource cost instead of per-host and per-metric SaaS fees.

Do I get an admin login? expand_more

Yes. Valebyte injects the admin username and password when it deploys Grafana, so you receive ready credentials and log in immediately — there is no account to create on first visit.

How much RAM does Grafana need? expand_more

Grafana itself is light and runs comfortably in about 1 GB of RAM for a typical setup. Heavy data sources such as Prometheus have their own requirements and should be sized separately.

Can I use my own domain? expand_more

A standard application URL is provided after deployment. A custom domain is not included by default; ask support whether it is available for this application.

Is my data private? expand_more

Yes. Everything runs in your managed Valebyte application environment and dashboards read from your own data sources, so your metrics, logs and credentials never pass through a third-party SaaS.
