See exactly where your observability budget goes
Track spending in real time with a centralized app that shows spend balance, contract burn-down, and product-level usage
Spot anomalies early by identifying unusual cost patterns and comparing month-over-month changes to optimize your spend, and identify trends before they impact your budget
Access detailed breakdowns with monthly invoices you view and download directly in Grafana Cloud
Stop budget overruns before they happen
Avoid unexpected charges with configurable alerts that set thresholds on specific usage metrics, detect spikes or anomalies in cost or usage, and surface attribution insights showing which teams or services are driving changes
Get early warnings by notifying teams at pre-set percentages of budget spend, or when attribution or anomaly-based signals suggest unusual spend patterns, so they can take action before limits are reached
Route alerts anywhere by sending notifications to Slack, email, PagerDuty, or any channel your team uses
Reduce costs and maximize insight automatically with Adaptive Telemetry
Cut costs by 30-50% on average with Adaptive Telemetry, which automatically identifies and optimizes low-value data across all telemetry
Accelerate resolution by making sure the right signals are surfaced quickly
Highlight the data that matters by using exemptions to preserve specific signals critical to your operations
Attribute costs to teams, projects, and services
Allocate every dollar clearly by breaking down costs by team, project, service, or any custom dimension using cost attribution
Build team accountability by giving every dollar an owner so teams understand their observability impact
Support internal billing by enabling chargeback and showback models without forcing teams to manage separate budgets
