# Open-source dashboards & BI tools

> Self-hosted business intelligence, monitoring and dashboards. 12 tools, ranked by GitHub stars.

Open-source business intelligence and dashboard applications. They connect to databases and data warehouses, let teams explore data with SQL or visual query builders, and publish dashboards that refresh on a schedule, an alternative to commercial BI suites that you can self-host.

Monitoring-oriented tools such as Grafana focus on time series from metrics and logs, while BI tools such as Apache Superset and Metabase focus on querying business data.
