San Francisco – October 21, 2026 -- Crest Data has added 15 commercial plugins to the Grafana Marketplace, more than doubling its portfolio to 25 as Grafana Labs moves the Marketplace to general availability at ObservabilityCON 2026.
Plugins query source systems via APIs without exporters or ingestion costs
All 25 plugins are native, agentless data source plugins that query their source systems through APIs. Crest Data states they require no exporters, no extra collection layer and no data ingestion costs. Each plugin ships with pre-built dashboards and was built in partnership with Grafana Labs.
The new plugins cover cloud security, virtualization and data protection platforms. IT, platform and security teams can monitor these systems in Grafana alongside existing telemetry rather than switching between separate vendor consoles.
Portfolio spans security, network, virtualization, SaaS and storage
The full portfolio is grouped into five domains:
- Security (11): FortiGate, Proofpoint Email Security, Zscaler ZIA, Zscaler ZPA, Cisco ASA, Cisco ISE, Tanium, Wiz, Qualys, Prisma Cloud, Tenable
- Network (4): Cisco Meraki, Akamai, Zscaler ZDX, Infoblox Universal DDI
- Virtualization (3): VMware vSphere, Citrix Cloud, Citrix DaaS
- SaaS (4): Tableau, Zoom, SharePoint, Conviva
- Storage and Data Protection (3): NetApp ONTAP, Dell PowerScale, Rubrik
Crest Data enters general availability as a founding Marketplace partner
The Grafana Marketplace gives enterprises a commercial channel to discover, license and install production-grade plugins directly from the Grafana catalog. Crest Data joins as a founding Marketplace partner.
Crest Data co-founder and CEO Malhar Shah said the company has built integrations used by Fortune 100 customers for years, and that the plugins bring that experience to unify IT, platform and security monitoring in Grafana.
Ash Mazhari, VP of Corporate Development at Grafana Labs, described Crest Data as a leading contributor to the ecosystem and said Grafana Labs is already seeing strong traction for the plugins from organizations around the world.
ObservabilityCON 2026 runs at Pier 27 in San Francisco from Oct. 19-21. Beyond the Marketplace plugins, Crest Data offers Grafana migrations, implementations, customizations and managed services.
