For information on new Database Observability highlights, refer to [What’s new from Grafana Labs](/whats-new/?tags=Database%20Observability). Database Observability uses Grafana Alloy to send your database telemetry to Grafana Cloud. For information about changes to Alloy, refer to the [Grafana Alloy release notes](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/send-data/alloy/release-notes/). ## v2.27.0 07/09/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Enhancement | Query samples: The query sample tooltip now shows the **Trace ID** when Alloy detects one in the query’s SQL comment. | | Fix | Queries overview: Fixed a bug where searching while filtered to a single database engine could ignore the search and show all queries for that engine. | ## v2.26.0 07/01/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Enhancement | Explain plan: Single-node explain plans now show an info alert explaining they provide limited insight, and no longer flag the sole node with a “Slow operation” warning. | | Fix | Setup: The Alloy config generated by the setup wizard now matches the documented templates for MySQL and PostgreSQL across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and the **Go to Telemetry Status** button opens in a new tab. | ## v2.25.0 06/23/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Enhancement | Database setup: Added optional cloud provider metadata and custom labels to the **Add database** and **Edit** wizards. Alloy configuration now includes the matching provider metadata and labels. | | Fix | Queries overview: Fixed **Rate**, **Duration Avg**, and **Errors** sparklines that could stay loading after selecting a non-default Prometheus datasource. | | Fix | Assistant: **Explain this plan** and page context now use the selected time range, fixing cases where historical query investigations returned no data. | ## v2.24.1 06/17/26 This release contains internal changes only. There are no user-facing changes. ## v2.24.0 06/10/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Enhancement | Fleet Management setup: The **Add database** and **Edit** wizard now uses standalone pages, alongside a layout and copy refresh across the wizard and the **Setup** tab. | | Fix | Queries Overview: The **Rate**, **Duration Avg**, and **Errors** panels no longer drop Postgres data when both MySQL and Postgres instances are present and no group-by is selected. | ## v2.23.1 06/04/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Fix | Privacy: Query text and other sensitive values from the page URL are no longer included in frontend error telemetry. | ## v2.23.0 05/29/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Enhancement | Wait events: Added the **Engine Wait** and **Replication Wait** categories to the wait time breakdown. | | Enhancement | Saved views: Added an info tooltip on the **Queries Overview** page that explains what **Saved views** does. | | Enhancement | AI Helper: Updated the deprecated **AI Helper** tab notice to point to the AI assistant buttons on each tab. | | Enhancement | Trace linkage: Trace links now resolve the destination before navigating, so an exact match jumps straight to the **Query samples** page instead of routing through the **Queries Overview** page first. | | Fix | Assistant: The assistant now uses each panel’s display units instead of guessing, fixing cases where values like seconds were shown as percentages or microseconds. | | Fix | Query samples: Fixed the filter row alignment on the Postgres **Query samples** page. | | Fix | Query samples: Bookmarked filter URLs now restore correctly, and custom threshold values loaded from a URL show a **saved** label. | ## v2.22.0 05/06/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Feature | Saved views: Save your current engine, filters, and group by as named views on the **Queries overview** page, and set one as your default. | | Feature | Query samples: Added filters to Postgres query samples. | | Enhancement | AI Helper: The **AI Helper** tab now shows a deprecation notice pointing users to the AI assistant. | | Enhancement | Telemetry status: Status checks now flag when your Alloy version is too old to be compatible with Database Observability. | | Enhancement | Knowledge graph: Added an **RCA Workbench** button across Database Observability pages. | | Enhancement | Table schema: Schema details now load over short time ranges by using a minimum lookback window. | | Enhancement | Wait events: Improved the accuracy of wait event data on the **Queries overview** table, and the sort now switches to duration automatically when the top series can’t be ranked by count. | | Fix | Assistant: Fixed Prometheus metric queries returning no data on stacks with a non-default scrape interval. | | Fix | Trace linkage: Updated the message shown when no exact query match is found when coming from a trace. | ## v2.21.0 04/29/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Enhancement | Assistant: The assistant now receives **Query details** page context when opened from the general assistant button. | | Enhancement | Query samples: Query sample trace markers now use Grafana’s standard exemplar interactions and styling. | | Enhancement | Telemetry status: Status checks now flag metrics and logs relabeling mismatches. | | Enhancement | Telemetry status: Status checks now use each database’s unique identity instead of only its instance name. | | Enhancement | Telemetry status: Updated Alloy compatibility checks to require Alloy 1.16.0 or later. | ## v2.20.1 04/23/26 This release contains internal changes only. There are no user-facing changes. ## v2.20.0 04/23/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Fix | Query samples: Updated the query samples panel legend from **AVG** to **AVG Duration**. | ## v2.19.0 04/22/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Fix | Telemetry status: Fixed a duplicate Postgres status check so **PG Stat Statements extension populated** and **Privileges Granted** use separate checks. | ## v2.18.0 04/16/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Feature | Configuration: Added the **Setup** tab and setup wizard for adding databases through Alloy collectors registered with Fleet Management, or generating Alloy configuration for manual setups. | | Enhancement | Cloud provider links: Added support for opening GCP Cloud SQL instances. | | Enhancement | MySQL setup: Added a telemetry check and setup guidance for the recommended MySQL exporter `limit` setting. | | Enhancement | Telemetry status: Added filters and identifying labels to the **Telemetry status** page, and databases with the same instance name now appear as separate entries. | | Fix | Explain plan: Long key names now stay inside explain plan cards, with tooltips for the full value. | ## v2.17.0 04/01/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Release | Database Observability: Now generally available after public preview. |
