Platform Overview

One Platform for Every Operational Signal

Grafana is the open observability platform that brings metrics, logs, traces and profiles together in a single place. Rather than replacing your data sources, it queries them where they live — Prometheus, cloud services, SQL databases, Snowflake, business systems — and turns them into shared dashboards, alerts and investigations.

TMES delivers Grafana as a complete capability, not just a licence. As a Grafana partner we can supply the Grafana Cloud or Grafana Enterprise subscription itself, then architect the deployment, instrument your applications and infrastructure, migrate you off legacy monitoring tools, build the dashboards your teams will actually use, and then operate the platform and the alert response under an agreed service level.

What gets in the way

01

Monitoring split across separate infrastructure, application and business tools

02

Escalating per-host or per-agent monitoring licence costs

03

Alerts that are either too noisy to trust or too quiet to help

04

No distributed tracing, so slow transactions cannot be traced to a root cause

05

In-house teams without the capacity to run an observability platform 24/7

The Grafana Stack

What Sits Under the Dashboards

Grafana is a family of purpose-built open-source components, each optimised for one class of telemetry — assembled by TMES into a single coherent platform.

Visualisation & dashboards

Grafana

The query and visualisation layer. Connects to more than a hundred data sources and renders them as shared, role-based dashboards for engineering, operations and executives.

Metrics

Mimir & Prometheus

Highly scalable, long-term metric storage that is Prometheus-compatible — so existing exporters, recording rules and PromQL queries keep working as you scale.

Logs

Loki

Log aggregation designed to be cost-efficient at scale by indexing labels rather than full log content — dramatically reducing the storage cost of long log retention.

Distributed tracing

Tempo

High-volume trace storage that links a slow user transaction to the exact service, database query or third-party call responsible for the delay.

Continuous profiling

Pyroscope

Always-on code profiling that shows which functions consume CPU and memory in production — closing the loop between an incident and the line of code behind it.

Telemetry collection

Alloy & OpenTelemetry

A vendor-neutral collector that gathers metrics, logs, traces and profiles from your estate using open standards, so you are never locked into a proprietary agent.

Deployment Options

Cloud, Self-Managed or Hybrid

TMES will recommend the right model during the assessment, based on your data residency, scale and regulatory requirements.

Grafana Cloud

Fully managed by Grafana Labs, implemented and operated by TMES.

  • Fastest path to production — no backend to run
  • Elastic scale for metrics, logs and traces
  • Built-in alerting, incident response and k6 performance testing
  • Best for organisations without data residency constraints

Self-Managed Grafana

Grafana Enterprise or open source, deployed inside your own environment.

  • Telemetry never leaves your network or country
  • Deploy on your cloud account, private cloud or on-premise
  • Full control of retention, access and data governance
  • Best for regulated workloads and strict data residency

Hybrid

Sensitive telemetry stays local, the rest scales in the cloud.

  • Keep regulated logs on-premise, send metrics to the cloud
  • Single unified view across both tiers
  • Phased migration path from legacy monitoring tools
  • Best for large estates modernising in stages

Migration

Moving Off Your Current Monitoring Tool

Most organisations already have something in place. TMES migrates in phases and runs both systems in parallel until your operations team signs off — there is no cut-over weekend and no monitoring gap.

Nagios / Icinga

Host and service checks re-expressed as Prometheus targets and alert rules, with the check logic preserved but the maintenance burden removed.

Zabbix

Templates and triggers mapped to exporters and Grafana alert rules; historical trends kept available while the new platform builds its own history.

Datadog / New Relic

Agent-based collection replaced with OpenTelemetry and Grafana Alloy, typically the strongest cost case — you stop paying per host and per custom metric.

SolarWinds / PRTG

Network and infrastructure polling moved to SNMP exporters, with the NOC wallboards rebuilt as Grafana dashboards.

Elastic / ELK

Log pipelines re-pointed at Loki for label-based indexing, usually cutting log storage cost substantially at the same retention.

Spreadsheets & scripts

Manual uptime checks, cron scripts and email alerts replaced with real instrumentation, proper alert routing and an on-call rota.

01

Inventory what the old tool actually watches

Export every check, dashboard and alert rule, then separate what is genuinely used from what has been ignored for years. This step alone usually removes a third of the estate.

02

Run Grafana in parallel

The new platform is instrumented and stood up alongside the incumbent. Nothing is switched off, so there is no window where you are blind.

03

Rebuild what matters

Dashboards and alert rules are rebuilt in Grafana with your operations team, tuned to reduce noise rather than replicate it one-for-one.

04

Verify, then decommission

Both systems run side by side through at least one full incident cycle. Once your team confirms parity, the legacy licence is retired.

Key Platform Capabilities

What the Platform Delivers

Engineers working through a managed services queue

Unified Dashboards

Role-based dashboards that combine infrastructure, application and business data on one screen, in English or Thai.

Alerting & Incident Response

Alert rules, deduplication, escalation policies and on-call schedules so incidents reach the right engineer with context attached.

Distributed Tracing (APM)

End-to-end transaction traces across microservices and APIs, linked directly to the logs and metrics from the same moment in time.

Log Aggregation & Search

Centralised, cost-efficient log storage with fast label-based search and retention policies aligned to your compliance requirements.

Synthetic & Performance Testing

Uptime checks from outside your network and k6 load testing, so capacity problems are found before a campaign or peak season, not during it.

Enterprise Data Integration

Connect Grafana to AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Kubernetes, SQL databases, Snowflake, POS and retail platforms, and existing ITSM tooling.

FAQ

Questions, answered

IT operations team at their desks in front of a monitoring wall
What is Grafana?

Grafana is an open observability platform for collecting, visualising and alerting on operational data. It brings metrics, logs, traces and profiles into shared dashboards, connects to more than a hundred data sources, and includes alerting and incident response. It is the most widely adopted open-source dashboarding tool in the world.

Is Grafana free?

Grafana OSS is free and open source, and many organisations start there. Grafana Cloud and Grafana Enterprise are commercial offerings that add managed backends, enterprise access control, support and advanced features. TMES helps you choose between them based on scale, compliance and the true cost of self-operating the stack.

What is the LGTM stack?

LGTM refers to Grafana Labs core open-source components: Loki for logs, Grafana for visualisation, Tempo for traces and Mimir for metrics — often extended with Pyroscope for continuous profiling and Grafana Alloy for OpenTelemetry-based collection. Together they form a complete observability backend.

Can Grafana replace our existing monitoring tools?

In most cases yes, and TMES runs it as a phased migration rather than a cut-over. We typically run Grafana alongside the incumbent tool for a period, rebuild the dashboards and alert rules that matter, verify parity with your operations team, and only then decommission the legacy licence.

Can we buy Grafana licences through TMES?

Yes. As a Grafana partner, TMES can supply Grafana Cloud and Grafana Enterprise subscriptions alongside the implementation and managed service, with local invoicing and first-line support in Thailand. That puts licensing, deployment and 24/7 operations on a single contract instead of splitting them across a vendor, an integrator and an operations provider.

Does TMES provide 24/7 support for Grafana in Thailand?

Yes. TMES offers Grafana as a managed observability service, including 24/7 platform operations, alert triage, monthly SLA reporting and continuous tuning — delivered from Thailand under ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 20000-1 certified governance.
