Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of Tencent, announced on April 20, 20201 that it has joined forces with Grafana Labs, the company behind the open and composable observability platform built around the Grafana open source technology for dashboards and visualization, to provide cloud users all over the globe with the Tencent Cloud Monitor Grafana App, a plugin application which is an efficient and easy-to-use platform to quickly monitor and integrate metrics and data.

Tencent Cloud has integrated Grafana into its platform, allowing users to access their monitoring data sources via a custom dashboard with a Tencent Cloud API key, and to share access safely and securely. The new plugin also eliminates the need for users to go through complex configuration processes via preset templates that are now available for data to be seen with minimal effort. Administrative tasks are also made easier, as administrators are able to simply share a URL for the dashboard – which can also be embedded into external websites. The plugin includes enhanced security features and also comes with a new search feature on its data source configuration page as well as a total of 30 Tencent Cloud products.

Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President, Tencent Cloud International, said, "Tencent Cloud is excited for the benefits of our collaboration with Grafana, which provides cloud users all around the world with fast and quick integration of their metrics and data in a way that is as safe and secure as it is efficient and easy to use. With the company’s vision and mission of using tech for good, the new Tencent Cloud Monitor Grafana App perfectly illustrates our goal to bring more value to users, leveraging innovative technologies."

The Tencent Cloud Monitor Grafana App plugin gives users load and performance monitoring metrics via multiple cloud products, including popular products such as Cloud Virtual Machine (CVM) and Cloud Databases (Tencent DB).
