Expand what’s possible with Grafana: The Grafana Marketplace is now generally available

Earlier this year, we launched the Grafana Marketplace, a platform that gives independent software vendors, systems integrators, and developers in the Grafana community a new way to sell and distribute plugins built for Grafana.

The Marketplace builds on our existing plugin catalog by enabling third-party partners and developers to earn revenue from their plugins and invest further in their development. For end users, these paid Marketplace plugins come with guarantees for ongoing updates and support, helping ensure the integrations you rely on remain secure and reliable over time.

Since launching the pilot program in April, the Marketplace has grown to include more than 30 custom, partner-backed plugins for high-demand data sources and apps, ranging from cloud cost optimization tools to security solutions from Rubrik and Cisco.

Today at ObservabilityCON 2026, we’re excited to share that the Grafana Marketplace is generally available. And to make it easier to explore, any Grafana Cloud user can now trial Marketplace plugins free for 14 days.

Why the Marketplace matters

The Grafana plugin catalog includes more than 300 plugins built and maintained by Grafana Labs, our partners, and the community. This ecosystem gives users more ways to connect Grafana to the tools and data sources they rely on, while giving developers the freedom to extend Grafana for new use cases.

We want developers to be inspired to keep building on Grafana, while our users have more options for monitoring their infrastructure and managing their Grafana instances, including apps and data sources for specialized use cases.

But building and maintaining a production-grade plugin takes a lot of work. Until recently, independent developers and systems integrators had no direct way to fund that work through the Grafana plugin ecosystem.

The Marketplace introduced that commercial model. By giving partners a way to earn revenue from their plugins, they can invest in ongoing development and support while bringing more specialized solutions to Grafana Cloud and Grafana Enterprise users across observability, security, IoT, and beyond. The result is more production-ready data sources and apps reaching the catalog, backed by the ongoing support users need to rely on them.

Importantly, the Marketplace adds to our existing plugin ecosystem; it doesn’t replace it. Community and open source plugins remain a core part of Grafana, and developers can continue to build and publish free plugins just as they do today. The Marketplace provides another path for developers who want to sell their plugins and take on the corresponding support and maintenance commitments.

Explore the growing Grafana Marketplace

Since we launched the pilot, the Marketplace has grown to cover more than 30 high-demand data sources and apps, with options spanning networking, security, storage, virtualization, collaboration, cost management, industrial infrastructure, and more.

Below are some examples of the Marketplace plugins available today:

  • Network and security: Cisco Meraki, Rubrik Security Cloud, Zscaler ZIA and ZPA, and Akamai data sources from Crest Data.
  • Storage and virtualization: NetApp ONTAP, Dell PowerScale, and VMware vSphere from Crest Data, and Proxmox VE from Ridgeline Technologies.
  • Productivity and collaboration: SharePoint, Citrix Cloud, Tableau, and Zoom from Crest Data, and end-to-end Microsoft Teams observability from Phenisys.
  • Cost and compute: Kubecost and Nutanix from Integration Plumbers.
  • Industrial infrastructure: HelinConnect Data Hub data source from Helin Data.
  • Manufacturing quality analytics: A full statistical process control (SPC) suite and 3D CAD visualization from KensoBI.

Marketplace plugins run inside your own Grafana instance, and Grafana Labs reviews every listing before it goes live. All plugins must be cryptographically signed and must encrypt sensitive data. Partners are contractually obligated to remediate critical vulnerabilities within seven days and high-severity vulnerabilities within 30 days.

While Grafana Labs handles billing and payment, support for these plugins comes directly from the partners who built them. We vet every partner and each one is contractually committed to keeping its plugins compatible with supported Grafana versions.
