help Grafana Pyroscope FAQ
How does Grafana Pyroscope integrate with existing Grafana dashboards?
Grafana Pyroscope integrates natively with Grafana, allowing you to view continuous profiling data alongside your existing metrics and traces in unified dashboards. Since Pyroscope was acquired by Grafana Labs, it has been incorporated into the Grafana ecosystem and is available both as a self-hosted open-source tool and within Grafana Cloud.
What programming languages does Grafana Pyroscope support for profiling?
Grafana Pyroscope supports profiling for multiple languages including Go, Java, Python, Ruby, .NET, and Node.js through language-specific SDKs. Each integration captures CPU profiles, memory allocations, and other resource metrics that help pinpoint performance bottlenecks at the function level.
What is the difference between Grafana Pyroscope and Grafana Tempo?
Grafana Pyroscope focuses on continuous profiling—showing exactly which lines of code consume CPU or memory over time—while Grafana Tempo handles distributed tracing, which tracks a single request's path across microservices. Together with Prometheus for metrics and Loki for logs, they form Grafana's full observability stack.
