Atlassian Statuspage enterprise data source for Grafana
Introducing Atlassian Statuspage data source plugin. The Atlassian Statuspage data source plugin allows querying Summary, Status, Components, Unresolved incidents, All incidents, Upcoming scheduled maintenances, Active scheduled maintenances, All scheduled maintenances
State timeline supports pagination
The state timeline visualization now supports pagination. The Page size option lets you paginate the state timeline visualization to limit how many series are visible at once. This is useful when you have many series. Previously, all the series in a state timeline were made to fit within the single window of the panel, which could make it hard to read. With paginated results, the visualization displays a subset of all series on each page.
Transformation updates
We’ve made a number of exciting updates to transformations! You can now use variables in some transformations Template variables are now supported for the Limit, Sort by, Filter data by values, Grouping to matrix (a community contribution ⭐️), Heatmap, and Histogram transformations. This enables dynamic transformation configurations based on panel data and dashboard variables. New transpose transformation We’re excited to announce the new Transpose transformation, which allows you to pivot the data frame, converting rows into columns and columns into rows.
Drone data source
The Drone data source plugin allows you to retrieve data for repositories and builds from your Drone instance.
Energy data available for Kubernetes
View energy data for your Kubernetes infrastructure components through Kubernetes Monitoring.
Native Histograms
Native histograms are a data type in Prometheus that can produce, store, and query high-resolution histograms of observations. It usually offers higher resolution and more straightforward instrumentation than classic histograms. If you would like more information, you can take a look at the video presented at the conference. Key user benefits of using Native Histograms: Improved resolution for the left tail of distributions: The exponentially growing buckets are able to better represent the smallest sample values in the distribution.
Cloudwatch Metric Insights cross account observability support
We are excited to announce support for cross-account querying in Metric Insights query builder for AWS Cloudwatch Plugin. This enables building SQL queries to monitor across multiple accounts in the same region in AWS Cloudwatch. This feature introduces an account dropdown for selecting one or all of your source accounts and builds a query that targets them. Furthermore, results can be grouped by account ID by selecting “Account ID” in the Group By dropdown.
Export Grafana Cloud k6 browser tests to a dashboard summary
We’ve recently announced that Grafana Cloud k6 browser tests are generally available, and now you can export your browser test results as a Grafana dashboard. Browser testing measures the performance and UX of web applications, including important metrics such as the Core Web Vitals. The exported summary breaks down each metric and explain the impact the performance of your application might have on users. Sharing the summary with your team and other stakeholders can help pinpoint areas that could use optimizations in order to create the best possible user experience.
Integrate Grafana Cloud k6 into your CI/CD pipeline with new k6 GitHub Actions
We have released two new k6 GitHub actions to make it easier to automate your Grafana Cloud k6 performance testing suite and projects. You can now use the setup-k6-action to install a specific k6 version in your CI/CD workflow. This action provides flexibility when running multiple testing projects and faster execution of testing jobs. With the new run-k6-action, you can: Run local and cloud tests, as well as upload test results to Grafana Cloud k6.
Chrome Recorder extension for exporting k6 browser scripts
We’ve recently announced that browser tests in Grafana Cloud k6 are generally available, and you can use them to better understand your application’s user experience and fix frontend performance issues. But creating browser test scripts can be a complex task, which is why we’re releasing the k6 DevTools Recorder Chrome extension! With the k6 DevTools Recorder Chrome extension, you can record user flows from a website using the Chrome DevTools Recorder, and then export that as a k6 browser test.
Grafana SLO Folder RBAC
We’d like to announce that we have implemented a preliminary version of folder scoped SLO actions! Now, users that are Folder Editors on a specific folder, can create, update, and delete SLOs associated with those folders. They will continue to be able to view SLOs in other folders, but those SLOs cannot be editable by users who do not have Folder Editor access. How To Implement - User who can Edit SLOs in a Particular Folder
Centralized alert history page
View a history of all alert events generated by your Grafana-managed alert rules from one centralized page. This helps you see patterns in your alerts over time, observe trends, make predictions, and even debug alerts that might be firing too often. An alert event is displayed each time an alert instance changes its state over a period of time. All alert events are displayed regardless of whether silences or mute timings are set, so you’ll see a complete set of your data history even if you’re not necessarily being notified.
Roadmap for new data sources
We are delighted to share a new public roadmap for data source plugins being built by Grafana, our partners and our community. All existing and potential users of Grafana can now see our current plans and request new plugins, upvote existing requests, or comment with ideas and requirements. Links to the roadmap and requesting a new data source have recently been added to the Connections view in Grafana Cloud, as shown in the video below.
Role-based access control in Grafana Cloud k6
Role-based access control (RBAC) is now available in Grafana Cloud k6! With the new Performance Testing roles available in your Grafana Cloud stack, you get fine-grained control over what a User or Team can do in the k6 Performance Testing application, regardless of their Grafana Stack role. By default, your Stack role (Admin, Editor, or Viewer) is used as the default for your Grafana Cloud k6 RBAC roles. Most of the k6 Performance Testing application access will work the same (see here for the differences) until you dive in and customize your RBAC configuration to fit your exact needs.
API support for LDAP configuration
The SSO settings API has been updated to include support for LDAP settings. This feature is experimental behind the feature flag ssoSettingsLDAP. You will soon be able to configure LDAP from the UI and Terraform.
