# Migrate from any observability platform.

Fully automated. Zero switching costs. Zero hassle.

groundcover’s Migration feature automates every step of your transition — from dashboards and monitors to integrations — helping teams switch from any legacy observability stack in minutes, not months.

## Why Migration Is Broken

For years, moving off a legacy observability platform meant pain. Dozens of dashboards. Hundreds of monitors. Thousands of metrics — all tied to brittle configurations and one-way integrations.

## Traditional migration projects are:

-

### Manual

Teams rebuild everything from scratch.

-

### Risky

Dashboards break, metrics mismatch, and data fidelity gets lost.

-

### Expensive

Vendors bill professional services just to move your own data.

-

### Slow

Migrations stretch over months or years.

## It’s no wonder most teams stay stuck locked into outdated tools by sheer inertia.

## Automatic Environment Discovery

Inventories your entire observability setup — dashboards, monitors, workflows, and integrations — across Datadog, New Relic, Grafana, and others.

## Intelligent Mapping Engine

Automatically translates metrics, labels, and widgets to their groundcover equivalents and preserves dashboard layouts and visual fidelity with near pixel-perfect accuracy.

## Self-Serve Migration Flow

A guided experience inside the groundcover UI — start, pause, or continue migration at your own pace. We even let you verify dashboards side-by-side before you go live.

## Unified Integrations Center

Connect AWS, GCP, Azure, and custom metrics without support tickets. Define scopes, tags, and scraping intervals programmatically through API, Terraform, or UI.

## Full Observability Fidelity

groundcover now supports hundreds of new metrics and 300+ sensor metrics to mirror legacy coverage. Plus, any unmapped items are clearly flagged with suggestions and actionable recommendations.

## More than a migration, a Modernization

Once migrated, your observability becomes:

### Faster

Query and visualize logs, metrics, and traces instantly with groundcoverQL, built for high cardinality data at scale.

### Smarter

All telemetry lives in a single, unified view — with eBPF-powered insights into every service and interaction.

### Predictable Costs

With BYOC, groundcover runs inside your own infrastructure. You keep full control over data, security, and compliance.

### Build with Confidence

No surprise ingestion bills or opaque data charges — you own the infrastructure and control retention policies that fit your budget.

## Migration isn’t a one-time lift anymore it’s a foundation for lasting observability control.

## Key features

- ### Guided automation

Step-by-step wizard lets users start, pause, or resume migrations anytime.

- ### Automatic mapping engine

AI translates metric and label schemas, preserving dashboards and workflows.

- ### Fidelity preserved

Pixel-accurate layouts, consistent queries, alerts, and widgets.

- ### Self-serve integrations

Connect AWS, GCP, Azure, and custom metrics — no tickets, no engineers.

- ### Full data visibility

Detects unmapped integrations, missing data, and suggests fixes.

- ### Query flexibility

groundcover QL unifies metrics, logs, and traces in one query engine.

## Seamless Migration, Instant Setup

### Migration that doubles as onboarding

A smoother start to observability Migration isn’t just a switch — it’s your onboarding journey. As you migrate, groundcover detects missing telemetry, recommends new dashboards and monitors, and automatically activates integrations. The result: a fully optimized observability setup before day one.

### Results that matter

- 90% faster migration time
- Up to 60% lower total cost of ownership
- 100% dashboard layout fidelity
- All data stays in your cloud
- Zero downtime during cutover
- Fully automated with no additional fees
