Infinity data source sets backend parser as the default for new queries to enable backend features

The Infinity data source plugin now defaults to the backend parser when creating new queries in dashboards or Explore. Previously, the frontend parser was the default, limiting access to backend features like alerts, recorded queries, and public dashboards.

Existing queries using the frontend parser will continue to work as before. If any issues arise, switching the parser to Frontend in the query settings may help. This update improves compatibility with Grafana’s backend features from the start.
