Release notes for Fleet Management
Grafana Fleet Management release notes include important changes to the Fleet Management APIs and application. Notes are kept for a rolling six-month window, except for deprecations and breaking changes, which are kept for longer. The changes are categorized by the following types:
- Features create a brand new feature.
- Enhancements update an existing feature.
- Fixes correct a bug or unintended behavior.
- Breaking changes require changes to existing customer integrations to prevent unexpected behavior.
- Deprecations mark a feature or functionality as obsolete and planned for future removal.
May 4, 2026
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Add the Alloy component editor for building custom configuration pipelines from a searchable catalog of schema-backed components, with form-based fields, reference dropdowns, and validation. |
| Feature | Support collector_id sent as Loki structured metadata for self-monitoring logs to avoid stream cardinality issues. |
| Enhancement | Flatten the Grafana Cloud navigation menu to make Fleet Management more findable. The application is now only one level deep: Connections > Fleet Management. |
| Enhancement | Make Instrumentation Hub pipelines read-only. |
| Fix | Prevent Grafana Cloud global keyboard shortcuts from triggering inside configuration editors. Before the fix, typing letters in the editor that form keyboard shortcuts (such as ge) performed the shortcut action, sometimes taking users out of the Fleet Management code editor. |
| Fix | Update backend source descriptors so Grafana-sourced pipelines can be edited, activated, or deactivated. |
| Fix | Preserve the pipeline source when a pipeline is edited. Before the fix, the source type disappeared from the application after a pipeline was edited. |
April 20, 2026
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | Improve readability of the Logs tab by displaying timestamps on log entries, adding a case-insensitive search box for filtering logs, and enabling word wrap, JSON formatting, and expandable log details. Timestamps are also now shown on remote configuration error logs in the Health tab. |
| Enhancement | Add a Configuration tab, Edit and Duplicate quick actions, a status badge, and a View history link to the pipeline details drawer on the Remote configuration tab. |
| Enhancement | Improve configuration code editor to fill available space and keep action buttons always visible. |
| Enhancement | Allow opening of the pipeline editor in a new tab from the Remote configuration list and details drawer by making the edit/view action a real link that supports right-click, middle-click, and Ctrl/Cmd-click. |
| Fix | Set pipeline history code editors to read-only mode. |
| Fix | Improve load performance by removing matched collector count from Remote configuration tab. |
| Fix | Return a clear 400 BAD REQUEST validation error with message id is not a valid integer when calling the DeletePipeline API with a non-numeric id. Previously, such requests produced inconsistent errors. |
| Fix | Preselect the Grafana Cloud Prometheus and Loki data sources (or the user’s saved choice) in the collector details Health and Logs tabs, so queries no longer fall back to an unrelated data source and fail. |
| Fix | Fix blank configuration editors in the pipeline details drawer and Edit configuration page so content renders correctly. |
April 10, 2026
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Add pipeline details drawer with a Matched collectors tab for quick access from the list of configuration pipelines. Clicking on a pipeline opens the details view. |
| Feature | Display the number of collectors matched to all pipelines on the Remote configuration tab |
| Enhancement | Add operating system selection grid to the Alloy installation workflow. |
| Enhancement | Add detection for stale rollout of effective configuration. After two minutes of unresolved pending state, the Configuration tab in the details view displays a warning that the collector might be offline. |
| Fix | Include collector_id label in the URL filter for the Explore logs button in the collector details view. Before the fix, the filter was empty, forcing users to manually set labels. |
March 24, 2026
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Display a collector’s effective configuration on the Configuration tab of its details view. If the effective and server configurations differ, show both, along with a status message. |
| Feature | Add a remote configuration dashboard to the Health tab in the collector details view. The dashboard reports the latest configuration load status, the load status over time, and any remote configuration errors. |
| Enhancement | Improve bulk collector updates and deletions for large fleets by chunking and queuing API calls from the UI. |
| Enhancement | Add a reset filters option to the remote configuration page. |
| Fix | Fix a bug in the collector status filter so the chevron opens the dropdown menu and all selected statuses render as pills. |
| Fix | Filter reserved attributes by collector type in matching attribute dropdown. |
| Fix | Enable adding and editing of attributes in the collector detail view Attributes tab. |
March 2, 2026
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Enable users to add new Alloy collectors directly from the Inventory tab with an Add collector button. |
| Fix | Fix an issue where adding a custom attribute in the UI caused the collector to stop receiving any pipelines, not only in the UI but also in the remotecfg service itself. |
| Fix | Restore Last connection timestamp in the Inventory tab for collectors that unregister from Fleet Management and are marked inactive. |
| Fix | Fix an issue where saving collector details could remove existing local attributes. |
| Fix | Allow remote attributes to be added or removed from the collector detail view. |
| Breaking change | Change the behavior of the UpdateCollector endpoint so requests that omit the enabled field default to the existing state of the collector. Prior to the change, requests to UpdateCollector that omitted the enabled field defaulted to enabled = false and the collector couldn’t be remotely configured. |
February 13, 2026
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Enable filtering of the Inventory tab by collector type. |
| Feature | Add a button to the Health tab in the collector details drawer that directs to Alloy Health dashboards. The button appears only if the Alloy Health integration is installed. |
| Feature | Add a duplicate button to the Remote configuration tab. |
| Feature | Enable bulk deleting of configuration pipelines from the Remote configuration tab. |
| Enhancement | Add the BulkDeletePipelines endpoint to the Pipeline API. This endpoint deletes multiple pipelines by ID in a single, atomic operation. |
| Enhancement | Improve select-all functionality with pagination for collectors and configuration pipelines. |
| Fix | Report the correct number of collectors shown when the Inventory list is filtered. |
| Fix | Allow users with read access to click on collectors to view details such as health status, logs, and configuration. |
January 27, 2026
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Create the Overview tab with a dashboard for collector and pipeline statistics, including counts, limits, errors, and collector distribution across type, version, and operating system. |
| Enhancement | Add the GetSummary endpoint to the Tenant API. This endpoint provides aggregate statistics for collectors and pipelines in a stack. |
| Enhancement | Hide by default collectors that are inactive for three hours or more on the Assign matching attributes screen in the configuration pipeline workflow. |
| Fix | Restore collector. prefix to display name of reserved attributes. |
| Fix | Update UTF-8 character encoding to allow pipeline syntax validation to pass when those characters are included. |
December 15, 2025
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Beginning with Alloy v1.12.0, visually link configuration pipeline errors to the collectors running the faulty pipelines. Collectors with pipeline errors have a red health status. Pipeline errors are listed in the collector details view. |
| Feature | Integrate Grafana Assistant in the configuration pipeline workflow with pre-configured prompts for explaining, validating, fixing, optimizing, or visualizing pipelines. |
| Enhancement | Add Collector App Reader plugin role for fine-grained role-based access control (RBAC). The role grants designated users read-only access to Fleet Management resources. |
November 20, 2025
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Add support for private connectivity options: AWS PrivateLink, Azure Private Link, and GCP Private Service Connect. |
| Feature | Create new Tenant API, which currently consists of a single endpoint, GetLimits. Calls to this endpoint return all applicable collector, pipeline, and API limits for the stack. |
| Breaking change | Change the behavior of the UnregisterCollector endpoint to mark collectors inactive rather than deleting them. |
November 5, 2025
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Add Source column to remote configuration tab to identify the origin of externally sourced pipelines. Column only appears if externally sourced pipelines are present. |
| Feature | Publish a GitHub Action to allow users to automatically sync configuration pipelines with Fleet Management using a CI/CD workflow. |
October 31, 2025
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Deprecation | Deprecate attributes and attribute_overrides fields in the Collector API in favor of local_attributes and remote_attributes fields respectively. Users should update any integrations to use local_attributes and remote_attributes instead. |
