Crest Data Debuts 25 Agentless Grafana Plugins as Marketplace Goes Live

Crest Data announced 25 native, agentless Grafana plugins at ObservabilityCON 2026, held in San Francisco from October 19 to 21. The announcement coincided with Grafana Labs moving the Grafana Marketplace to general availability, PRLog reported on October 27, 2026.

Crest Data's Agentless Plugin Portfolio

Crest Data said the plugins query source systems through their APIs, eliminating the need for exporters or an additional data collection layer and avoiding data ingestion costs. Each plugin, developed in partnership with Grafana Labs, includes pre-built dashboards that let IT, platform and security teams monitor systems in Grafana alongside existing telemetry without switching between vendor consoles.

The portfolio spans five categories. Security covers FortiGate, Proofpoint Email Security, Zscaler ZIA, Zscaler ZPA, Cisco ASA, Cisco ISE, Tanium, Wiz, Qualys, Prisma Cloud and Tenable. Network covers Cisco Meraki, Akamai, Zscaler ZDX and Infoblox Universal DDI. SaaS covers Tableau, Zoom, SharePoint and Conviva, while storage and data protection covers NetApp ONTAP, Dell PowerScale and Rubrik.

Crest Data is a founding Marketplace partner, which gives enterprises a commercial channel to discover, license and install production-grade plugins directly from the Grafana catalog. The company also offers Grafana services covering migrations, implementations, customizations and managed services. Grafana Labs announced Cloud Logs query performance enhancements and Adaptive Telemetry features at the same event, which it said reduce log search volume by 80-90% and cut telemetry spend by 30-50% on average, Financial Post reported on October 20.

Crest Data's Migration and Cloud Partnerships

According to akta.pro company records, Crest Data launched Migration Acceleration Consulting Services on Google Cloud Marketplace in November 2025, targeting Google Security Operations and Datadog migrations. The same records show a Migration Acceleration Service for Amazon CloudWatch on AWS Marketplace, launched the same month after the company attained AWS Cloud Operations Competency in Monitoring and Observability. Crest Data became a Silver Sponsor at Dynatrace Perform 2026 in December 2025, deepening its Splunk-to-Dynatrace migration practice.

How the Grafana Portfolio Grew

Crest Data joined Grafana Labs as a launch partner for the new Grafana Marketplace in May 2026, introducing 10 enterprise-grade plugins that connect to platforms including Akamai, Fortinet and NetApp, PRLog reported. In September 2026, PRLog reported that Crest Data would join ObservabilityCON 2026 as a champion sponsor, showcasing Grafana Marketplace plugins and migration strategies. On October 21, 2026, PR Newswire reported that Crest Data announced 15 new commercial Grafana plugins, doubling its Marketplace portfolio to 25.
