      What is 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 for Graphite, InfluxDB and OpenTSDB. But supports other data sources via plugins.

      What is Kibana?

      Kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch. Kibana is a snap to setup and start using. Kibana strives to be easy to get started with, while also being flexible and powerful, just like Elasticsearch.

      What is Ruby Server Timing?

      Bring Ruby on Rails server-side performance metrics 📈 to Chrome's Developer Tools (and other browsers that support the Server Timing API) via the server_timing gem. Metrics are collected from the scout_apm gem. A Scout account is not required.
