Announcement banner

Grafana admins struggle to effectively communicate important updates and maintenance information to their users through traditional channels like email and Slack. Customers have requested a feature to display customizable banners within the Grafana interface to ensure critical information is visible and timely.

The announcement banner feature directly addresses the communication challenges faced by Grafana admins by allowing them to display critical information prominently within the Grafana interface. This ensures that all users are immediately informed of important updates, maintenance schedules, compliance info, or other crucial messages, reducing the likelihood of missed communications and enhancing overall user awareness and engagement.

By default, only organization administrators can create announcement banners. You can customize who can create announcement banners with Role-based access control.

To use the Announcement banner in self-managed Grafana, turn on the notificationBanner feature toggle in Grafana v11.3 or newer.
