🎉 Announcement: The new Explore Profiles UI is here!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Explore Profiles UI, a brand-new way to explore and analyze your profiling data—now available as part of the Grafana Explore Apps suite! This new app brings you a queryless, intuitive experience for visualizing your profiling data, simplifying the entire process without the need to write complex queries.

What is Grafana Pyroscope?
Grafana Pyroscope is a continuous profiling platform designed to surface performance insights from your applications, helping you optimize resource usage such as CPU, memory, and I/O operations. With Pyroscope, you can both proactively and reactively address performance bottlenecks across your system.
The typical use cases are:
- Proactive: Reducing resource consumption, improving application performance, or preventing latency issues.
- Reactive: Quickly resolving incidents with line-level detail and debugging active CPU, memory, or I/O bottlenecks.
Pyroscope provides powerful tools to give you a comprehensive view of your application's behavior while allowing you to drill down into specific services for more targeted root cause analysis.
How Does Pyroscope Work?
Pyroscope consists of three main components:
- Pyroscope Server: The server component that stores and processes profiling data.
- Pyroscope SDKs(push) or Grafana alloy(pull) : The client-side part of Pyroscope that collects profiling data from your applications and sends it to the server.
- Explore Profiles UI: A queryless, intuitive UI for visualizing and analyzing profiling data.
Pyroscope Live Demo
Quick Start: Run Pyroscope server locally
Homebrew
brew install pyroscope-io/brew/pyroscope
brew services start pyroscope
