Introducing interactive learning in Grafana
Finding the right documentation at the right time can be tricky, especially when you’re in the middle of working in Grafana. The new interactive learning experience, available in public preview in Grafana 12.3, brings help directly into the product, so you don’t have to leave your workflow to find answers.
You can now automatically trigger Assistant investigations from Grafana IRM incidents and alert groups to help your team analyze and resolve issues faster.
This new integration automatically forwards incident or alert data to Grafana Assistant for AI-powered analysis and root-cause investigation. Once triggered, the Assistant coordinates multiple specialist agents to identify potential causes, surface insights, and post updates to the related incident timeline and communication channels.
Set up the IRM webhook for Grafana Assistant to start receiving actionable findings and keep your team informed throughout the investigation.
We’ve redesigned the check creation experience in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring.
This update is mostly a UX change to make check creation in the UI easier. The new UX also lets us plan for future enhancements to this flow.
We’ve just made managing your configuration pipelines a whole lot easier! Our brand-new purpose-built GitHub Action lets you automatically sync all of your configuration pipelines across every repository—seamlessly. Once triggered, the Action recursively searches your repos for pipeline definitions and uploads them straight to Grafana Fleet Management using the new SyncPipelines endpoint of the Pipeline API.
We’ve enhanced the check results page with a new Timepoint Explorer, making it easier to understand exactly when and where issues are occuring.
Timepoint Explorer visualizes every check execution as an individual event, turning results into a timeline you can explore. Each timepoint represents a probe execution, allowing you to pinpoint when failures happened and easily view the logs tied to those executions.
Understanding where your alerts are routed just got a whole lot easier.
When configuring per-check alerts in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring, you can now see exactly which notification policies your alerts match, right from the UI.
Writing PPL queries in the Grafana OpenSearch plugin just got easier with syntax highlighting, suggestions and sample queries.
The PPL query editor now contains a multi-line box which supports syntax highlighting, PPL keywords and commands suggestions, and index fields. To see the new features in action, select PPL in the Query type dropdown of the query editor and start typing. Specify index name(s) in the datasource configuration to narrow down the list of suggested index fields.
We have also added a “Kickstart your query” button to the PPL query editor, which contains useful sample queries. Select a query to copy it to the query editor and edit it further.
With log anomalies and patterns features, you can now detect abnormalities in your service and group log entries with recurring patterns with the CloudWatch data source.
Log Anomalies
The Grafana Incident Response and Management (IRM) Slack app is now officially approved and available in the Slack App Marketplace.
You can use Grafana Assistant in Kubernetes Monitoring to:
- Explain the data you see in a panel or on a detail page
- Start an investigation for potential issues
- Review the health of Kubernetes objects and resource consumption
- Provide recommendations
- Launch an investigation
- Follow any additional queries or commands you give it
To use the Assistant, click any Assistant icon available on a panel.
The new Switch template variable type replaces cumbersome drop-down menus with an intuitive toggle interface. Configure any two values—true/false, 1/0, yes/no, or custom pairs—and control boolean states across your dashboard with a single click. Perfect for toggling debug modes, filters, or any conditional logic.
We are thrilled to announce that Native Histograms are now generally available (GA)!
This milestone comes after three years of dedicated development, bringing a powerful data type to Prometheus users.
We’re excited to announce the addition of the Panel time settings drawer in visualizations. With this feature, you can access key panel-specific time settings without editing the dashboard:
We are very excited to release a completely redesigned logs visualization!
The logs visualization is one of the core visualizations of Grafana, and we’ve rebuilt it from the ground up to not only address performance issues, but also add many new features and display options to innovate in the space and provide the best possible log browsing experience, such as:
As part of the recently redesigned logs visualization, we’re now adding a new component to interact with fields in log lines, making it easier than ever to toggle fields on and off and customize the display order.
