Take Grafana Labs' 5th annual Observability Survey

•
2026-10-08•2 min

Over the past year, "agentic" has gone from an emerging buzzword to an integral part of worklife for many engineers—and that's just scratching the surface on all that's changed. With so much upheaval, there's never been a better time to capture the pulse of the industry, which is why we want you to take Grafana Labs' fifth annual Observability Survey.
We're asking the questions you're probably already arguing about in Slack: Do you trust an agent to ship without review? Are your dashboards still the front door, or has that become a chat window? How many observability tools are too many? And of course, the more things change, the more they stay the same, so we'll continue to track year-over-year trends around cost, tooling, open source, and maturity.
Available in Brazilian Portuguese, English, Japanese, and Spanish, this is the largest community-driven survey on the state of observability (last year more than 1,350 industry leaders and practitioners participated), and your answers directly shape the free report we'll publish early next year. It also helps you see how you compare to your peers, so please take five to 10 minutes to complete it today.
Enter to win some swag
Of course, it wouldn't be an Observability Survey without the chance to win some cool swag. Every month, we'll randomly select two participants and send them a special Grafana hoodie. And if you see the QR code for the survey at ObservabilityCON, ObservabilityCON on the Road, or a Grafana Labs booth during one of the many events we'll be at between now and Jan. 1, you might even get some special giveaways just for participating.
And if you don't want to enter to win, that's OK, too. All responses will be kept anonymous; we just want to hear what the community has to say about the state of observability today and where you want it to go in the future.
_Grafana Assistant_ _is the easiest way to get started with metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and more in Grafana Cloud. We have a generous forever-free tier and plans for every use case._ _Sign up for free now!_
