With the OpenRouter integration for Grafana Cloud, you get deep visibility into the performance and costs of your AI workloads in production.

Grafana is an open-source analytics and monitoring platform that allows users to visualize and analyze metrics from various data sources. The Grafana blog covers topics such as data visualization, monitoring best practices, and new features in Grafana software. Developers and data engineers can learn how to leverage Grafana for monitoring infrastructure, analyzing performance metrics, and creating interactive dashboards for data-driven decision-making.

OpenRouter's Broadcast feature automatically sends OpenTelemetry traces from every LLM API request to Grafana Cloud, requiring no code changes or SDK installation. Traces include model info, token usage, cost data, latency breakdowns, and error details following OTel semantic conventions for generative AI. Teams can use TraceQL to query traces, build dashboards for cost attribution across models, monitor p50/p95/p99 latency, debug failed requests, and plan capacity. A Privacy Mode excludes prompt/completion content while retaining operational metrics. Setup takes a few minutes via the OpenRouter dashboard.
