From design to deployment, we are there every step of the way to share our expertise.
Buy Grafana through a partner who sizes it for your workload, handles procurement and stays on the account after the paperwork.
Metrics, logs, traces and profiles on the Grafana LGTM Stack (Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Tempo for traces, Mimir for metrics), fed by the telemetry data you need for deep insight.
Ongoing help for the teams who own the stack: health checks, tuning, upgrades, and training so the knowledge stays in-house.
Not sure which one you need? That's what the health check is for.

We build on open source and open standards on purpose. It's the difference between owning your observability and renting it.
Your telemetry lives in open formats on open-source components. Change tools, change vendors, or bring it in-house without leaving your data behind.
OpenTelemetry for collection, Prometheus for metrics. Instrument once and every tool that speaks the standard can read it, now and later.
Grafana, Loki, Tempo and Mimir are open source with large communities behind them. Whatever you hit, someone has hit it before, and the fix is public.
Every engagement starts small and earns the next step.
We look at what you collect, what it costs and what nobody reads. You get a written plan with sizing and a price.
We implement the plan with your team in the loop: pipelines, dashboards, alerting and licensing in place.
We stay on as far as you want us: support, tuning, upgrades, or a clean handover with runbooks.
Critical Element is an observability and telemetry practice and a Grafana Partner, built by people who have spent 15+ years in observability across Grafana, Splunk, Cribl and AppDynamics. We work with engineering and platform teams who want deeper insight into their observability data, on open standards like OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, so your data stays yours.
