Use this Grafana status guide to confirm cloud outages fast, troubleshoot metric ingestion or dashboard rendering issues, and get real-time monitoring for when Grafana goes down.
How do I quickly check if Grafana is down?
- 1. Check status.grafana.com for component-level status.
- 2. Run a test query in Grafana Explore.
- 3. Verify your remote_write logs for errors.
- 4. Use independent monitoring to confirm.
TLDR: Grafana is currently believed to be operational. Check the official Grafana status page or apistatuscheck.com for real-time status.
Check the official Grafana status page
Grafana posts real-time incident updates for Grafana Cloud, including metric ingestion, dashboard rendering, and alerting pipeline status.
status.grafana.comLook for community reports
Developers and SREs frequently report Grafana Cloud outages on Downdetector and Twitter/X — useful for confirming widespread issues quickly.
Downdetector reportsVerify with independent monitoring
Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that tracks Grafana historical incidents and uptime from multiple vantage points.
Grafana on API Status CheckWhat happens when Grafana goes down?
Dashboards not loading or blank panels
Grafana Cloud rendering failures can cause dashboards to load slowly, show blank panels, or return "No data" even when data sources are healthy.
Metric ingestion stopped
During Grafana Mimir or Prometheus-compatible ingest outages, new metrics stop flowing — existing dashboards show flatlines at the point of failure.
Alert rules not firing
Grafana's alerting pipeline may fail to evaluate rules or deliver notifications via email, Slack, or PagerDuty during platform incidents.
Loki log queries failing
Grafana Loki outages prevent log data from being ingested or queried, breaking log-based dashboards and alert rules that depend on log data.
Protect Your Grafana API Keys
Grafana API keys and service account tokens control access to your entire observability stack. 1Password stores them securely with team access controls and expiration tracking — preventing unauthorized access during or after incidents.

- 1
Check status.grafana.com first
Grafana's status page lists individual component health: Metrics (Mimir), Logs (Loki), Traces (Tempo), and Alerting. Identify which layer is degraded.
- 2
Test a simple datasource query
Navigate to Explore in Grafana Cloud and run a simple metric query. If it fails, the issue is in ingestion or query processing, not your dashboard config.
- 3
Check your Prometheus remote_write endpoint
If you're pushing metrics via remote_write, inspect your Prometheus logs for 429 or 5xx responses from the Grafana Cloud ingest endpoint.
- 4
Verify datasource connectivity
Go to Configuration → Data Sources → Test your datasources. Failures here indicate connectivity or authentication issues distinct from platform outages.
- 5
Check alert history in the Grafana UI
Navigate to Alerting → Alert Rules to see if evaluations are running. A paused or erroring evaluation state confirms the alerting pipeline is degraded.
What is Grafana's current status?
API Status Check tracks Grafana Cloud status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm observability platform outages quickly.
Independent Grafana status checks
API Status Check performs independent monitoring so you can verify Grafana Cloud status even when official updates are delayed.
Incident history and uptime data
Review recent incidents, response times, and reliability trends to understand Grafana Cloud stability over time.
Real-time alerts and integrations
Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Grafana experiences a new incident.
What can I do during a Grafana outage?
Fail over to self-hosted Grafana
If your organization runs a self-hosted Grafana alongside Grafana Cloud, redirect dashboards to the self-hosted instance during a cloud outage.
Query Prometheus directly
During Grafana rendering failures, query your Prometheus endpoint directly via the HTTP API to access raw metric data without the Grafana UI.
Use alternative visualization tools temporarily
Tools like Netdata, Datadog, or even simple `curl` queries to Prometheus can provide metric visibility while Grafana Cloud is degraded.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts on API Status Check to get notified the moment Grafana Cloud recovers from an outage.

Frequently asked questions about Grafana status
Is Grafana down right now?
Check status.grafana.com and API Status Check for independent monitoring. Look at the Metrics (Mimir), Logs (Loki), and Alerting components — a degraded status in any of these affects dashboards and alerts.
Is Grafana down for everyone or just me?
To determine if Grafana Cloud is down for everyone or just you: check status.grafana.com for active incidents in the Metrics, Logs, or Alerting components. Look for community reports on the Grafana Community forums or Twitter/X. Test your datasource connection directly via the Grafana datasource settings page. If other Grafana Cloud users in your region are reporting the same 'No data' or alert failure issue, it's a platform-wide incident — not a configuration problem.
Why are my Grafana dashboards showing "No data"?
"No data" in Grafana panels can mean metric ingestion has stopped due to a Grafana Cloud outage, your remote_write endpoint is failing, or your datasource connection has broken. Check status.grafana.com first, then test your datasource directly.
Why are my Grafana alerts not firing?
Grafana alert failures during outages occur when the alerting pipeline (Grafana Alertmanager) is degraded. Check status.grafana.com for Alerting component status and verify your notification channels are still connected.
How long do Grafana Cloud outages typically last?
Most Grafana Cloud incidents resolve within 30-120 minutes. The engineering team posts updates on status.grafana.com throughout the incident. Historical incidents are published as post-mortems.
Can I still access Grafana dashboards during an outage?
If the Grafana UI itself is up but ingestion is degraded, you can still access existing dashboards — but panels will show stale or missing data from the point the outage began.
How do I get Grafana outage alerts?
Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive real-time notifications when Grafana Cloud has an incident — critical when Grafana is your own alerting system.

When Grafana itself goes down, you need an independent watchdog. Better Stack monitors your APIs and infrastructure independently — alerting via Slack, SMS, or email even when your observability stack is offline.
