Chronograf is InfluxData's open source web application.
Use Chronograf with the other components of the [TICK stack](https://www.influxdata.com/products/) to visualize your monitoring data and easily create alerting and automation rules.
## Key features
### Infrastructure monitoring
* View all hosts and their statuses in your infrastructure
* View the configured applications on each host
* Monitor your applications with Chronograf's [pre-created dashboards](/chronograf/v1/guides/using-precreated-dashboards/)
### Alert management
Chronograf offers a UI for [Kapacitor](https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor), InfluxData's data processing framework for creating alerts, running ETL jobs, and detecting anomalies in your data.
* Generate threshold, relative, and deadman alerts on your data
* Easily enable and disable existing alert rules
* View all active alerts on an alert dashboard
* Send alerts to the supported event handlers, including Slack, PagerDuty, HipChat, and [more](/chronograf/v1/guides/configuring-alert-endpoints/)
### Data visualization
* Monitor your application data with Chronograf's [pre-created dashboards](/chronograf/v1/guides/using-precreated-dashboards/)
* Create your own customized dashboards complete with various graph types and [template variables](/chronograf/v1/guides/dashboard-template-variables/)
* Investigate your data with Chronograf's data explorer and query templates
### Database management
* Create and delete databases and retention policies
* View currently-running queries and stop inefficient queries from overloading your system
* Create, delete, and assign permissions to users (Chronograf supports [InfluxDB OSS](/influxdb/v1/administration/authentication_and_authorization/#authorization) and InfluxDB Enterprise user management)
