Critical Element
AI Observability · AI readiness assessment

Put Grafana's AI to work. Then see what your AI is doing.

A two-week assessment of your Grafana stack that ends in a written plan and licensing sized to it. Spend you can explain, releases you can trust, and agents you can see.

What we assess and implement

Three places AI gets expensive, risky, or invisible.

Grafana Cloud already has the tools. We connect them to your stack, your releases, and your agents, so the dashboards answer the questions your team is actually asking.

01

Spend

Know what observability and AI cost, and why.

  • Usage attribution by team and service, with budgets and alerts in Cost Management.
  • Adaptive Telemetry policies for metrics, logs, and traces. Grafana customers report 35–50% lower costs.
  • Token and model spend per agent from Agent Observability.
02

Ship

Plan releases on evidence.

  • Grafana Cloud k6 load and browser tests wired into your pipeline, so infrastructure is proven before code is pushed.
  • Dashboards and alerts for every release, built with Grafana Assistant.
  • Investigations and the SRE agent for faster root cause when a deploy misbehaves.
03

See your AI

Agents, tool calls, and MCP, end to end.

  • Agent Observability: conversations, tool and MCP calls, latency, cost, and quality.
  • OpenTelemetry instrumentation scoped to what you run. No lock-in.
  • GPU and inference health for self-hosted models.
What you get

Two weeks and a plan you can work with.

The assessment is scoped to your environment and priced up front. It ends with four things.

Findings

Signals, cost, and coverage, written up. What you collect, what it costs, and what nobody reads.

30 / 60 / 90 plan

Sequenced to your releases and budget, with the Grafana pieces named for each step.

Licensing

Grafana Cloud or Enterprise, sized to the plan rather than to a guess.

One partner

Assess, build, buy, and run on one invoice. The people who wrote the plan implement it.

15+
Years in observability

Our team's background spans Grafana, Splunk, Cribl, and AppDynamics. We've instrumented systems that were expensive and opaque before AI made them more of both.

Assess→Build→Run
01

Assess

Identify the question and the visibility gaps. Two weeks, a written plan, licensing sized to it.

02

Build

Connect the data, dashboards, and alerts. Agent Observability, Adaptive Telemetry, k6, and the instrumentation underneath.

03

Run

Ongoing support, or a clean handover with training and runbooks so your team owns the stack.

Why Critical Element

Grafana expertise. Hands-on delivery.

Useful AI visibility takes the right signals, meaningful context, and a setup your team can operate. We bring the engineering to make that happen.

A Grafana partner through the whole engagement

Licensing and sizing connect directly to solution design, implementation, and ongoing support. One partner helps you put Grafana to work for AI operations.

Engineering beyond the dashboard

We connect the telemetry, attach the context, and validate the signals behind the view. Your team gets dashboards and alerts around the questions it needs answered.

Open standards. Support that stays with you.

Built on OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, with coverage scoped to your environment. We support the setup as it evolves, or hand it over with training and runbooks.

Health check

Where does your stack sit today?

Free of charge. We look at what you collect, what it costs, and what nobody reads, then hand you a written findings report. Specifics, not a pitch.

We only use this to reply about your health check.
