Grafana Labs, the company behind the open agentic observability cloud, today announced the general availability of the Grafana Marketplace at ObservabilityCON 2026, opening the Grafana plugin catalog to commercial plugins built, sold, and maintained by verified partners. For the first time, developers can earn revenue from the extensions they build for Grafana.

Big Tent Philosophy Expands to Commercial Plugin Economy

Grafana began as an open source project built on a 'single pane of glass' premise. That became Grafana Labs' "big tent" philosophy: work with the tools teams already have, rather than replace them. The plugin catalog has been an essential part of the big tent approach, with more than 300 data sources, panels, and apps contributed by Grafana Labs, third-party ISV partners, and the open source community.

Building and maintaining a production-grade plugin is sustained work, and until now there was no way to fund it commercially. The Marketplace establishes that model: developers get a direct way to fund the work, which means more plugins reaching the catalog, and better-supported ones once they're there.

The Marketplace is an addition to the Grafana plugins ecosystem, not a replacement for any part of it. Grafana Labs continues to invest in the plugin tooling, documentation, and review processes that support it. Developers who prefer to publish their work at no cost are unaffected.

What's in the Catalog Today

Available listings include:

Network and security: FortiGate, Cisco ASA, Cisco ISE, Cisco Meraki, Zscaler Internet Access, Zscaler Private Access, Zscaler Digital Experience, Akamai, Proofpoint, Wiz, and Tanium, all from Crest Data.

Storage and virtualization: NetApp ONTAP, Dell PowerScale, and VMware, from Crest Data.

Productivity and collaboration: SharePoint, Citrix Cloud, Citrix DaaS, 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: AVEVA CONNECT from Helin Data.

Manufacturing quality analytics: SPC Box Plot, SPC Bullet, and SPC Characteristic from KensoBI.

Because Marketplace plugins run inside a user's own Grafana instance, every listing is reviewed by Grafana Labs before it becomes available. All plugins must be cryptographically signed, must not collect user information, and must encrypt sensitive data. Support comes directly from the partner who built the plugin.
