Section-level variables for rows and tabs now generally available

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Dashboards and visualizations
Release date: 2026-06-11

Earlier this year we announced the addition of section-level variables for rows and tabs. This feature is now generally available.

If your dashboard includes both an API gateway and a database, changing something like an $instance variable affects all panels at once. To avoid this, you might have to split services across separate dashboards, which defeats the goal of having a unified view.

Suspect Commits in Frontend Observability

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Frontend Observability
Release date: 2026-06-08

When an error appears in your app, you want to know which code change caused it — without digging through git log. Suspect Commits in Frontend Observability now pins the exact commit your app was built from at the top of the candidate list on the error summary page, so you can go straight from a stack trace to the change that introduced it.

Release date: 2026-06-03

Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring now gives you control over which k6 major version runs your scripted and browser checks. With k6 version channels, you can stay on a stable release while k6 continues to evolve, and move to a new major version on your own terms.


MFA in Grafana Cloud

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Security Authentication and authorization

Monitor Aurora clusters in Cloud Provider Observability

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Infrastructure Observability Cloud Provider Observability
Release date: 2026-06-01

You can now monitor Amazon Aurora clusters directly in the AWS RDS preconfigured dashboard in Cloud Provider Observability. The new Aurora tab gives you a cluster-level view of capacity, storage, and performance so you can spot scaling issues and database bottlenecks without piecing together metrics from individual instances.

Release date: 2026-05-30

Grafana Assistant now supports eight new data sources

Grafana Assistant can now query Snowflake, MongoDB, Oracle, Elasticsearch, Dynatrace, Honeycomb, Zabbix, and Jira directly.

This means you can ask a single question and get answers that draw from across your observability stack, your databases, and your project tracking tools, without switching between systems. An investigation that starts with an alert can pull in error rates from Dynatrace, query performance from Oracle, and recent deployments from Jira, all in one conversation.
