What's new from Grafana Labs

Session Replay in Frontend Observability records what a user actually did in your app. All clicks, scrolls, and page state is played back to you alongside the errors, logs, and traces Frontend Observability already captures. Instead of guessing what led to a bug report, you can watch the session it happened in.

You can see your Grafana Cloud k6 plan limits and current stack usage in one place. That view helps you know what your subscription allows before you run a large test or add shared resources.

We’ve recently extended support for cross-filtering, bringing support to:

• Histogram
• State timeline
• Status History

This is in addition to the previously supported visualizations, bar chart, table, and time series.

When you edit a dashboard that uses auto layout, Grafana manages panel sizes automatically. Until now, it wasn’t always clear why dragging the lower-right corner of a panel had no effect or how to change the layout.

Connecting to Oracle just got easier with Easy Connect Plus.

Setting up an Oracle data source in Grafana no longer means wrangling a tnsnames.ora file or spelling out a full connection descriptor. The Oracle plugin now supports Easy Connect Plus, a third connection method that encodes the host, port, and service name in a single string. Just enter something like host:port/service and you’re connected. The port is optional and defaults to 1521, so myhost/orclpdb1 works too.

Guided configuration steps in Kubernetes Monitoring let you set up a Cluster by describing your environment instead of tuning Alloy yourself. That means there’s no need for:

The Grafana AI SDK is now open source. It’s a Go SDK for building your own agents, with support for Grafana Cloud, Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

We’re excited to announce the Private Preview of Grafana Assistant in Microsoft Teams. The Assistant is already in Slack, and now it comes to Teams too, meeting your team where they already work. Once enabled for your organization, you can ask questions in your DMs and channels, get support on live issues, and pull in your Grafana Cloud data and integrations without leaving the conversation.

We’re excited to announce the private preview of the Grafana Assistant desktop app, which brings the Assistant closer to your workflow than ever. With the desktop app, the Assistant can work with your local file system, your code, and your other tools alongside all your data in Grafana Cloud, so you can wrangle alerts, incidents, dashboards, data sources, and more from one place.

The Grafana IRM mobile app has a new name and a lot more to offer. It’s now the Grafana Mobile app, and it comes with Grafana Assistant built-in.

With the Assistant in your pocket, your phone becomes an actually useful extension of Grafana Cloud. Get paged by IRM, open an Assistant chat, and start remediation without waiting to get back to a keyboard. Because conversations sync across devices, you can start on your phone and pick up right where you left off on desktop, without losing any context.

What you can do:

• Respond: get alert group and incident context automatically pulled into the chat, so the Assistant can start investigating for you the moment you’re notified.
• Chat: ask the Assistant questions in plain language to understand what’s happening before you act.
• Verify: check on your dashboards and panels from anywhere.

Update to the latest Grafana app on iOS or Android to get started. Grafana Assistant and dashboard viewing are in public preview.

Stop hunting through menus for the dashboard you built months ago. Assistant Search lets you query your Grafana artifacts blazingly fast. Describe what you’re after in plain language, and get back the dashboards, alerts, incidents, Assistant Investigations, labels, and more that match, no exact names required.

Agent Observability is now generally available in Grafana Cloud. Agentic workloads need observability just like everything else you run, but it’s harder to see into how an agent reasons, what tools it calls, or where it quietly degrades. Agent Observability brings that behavior into the light, tightly integrated across Grafana Cloud and Grafana Assistant so it lives right next to the rest of your telemetry.

The Cloud Provider Observability home page is now a live summary of your environment instead of static introductory content. Once you configure at least one provider, the page brings together the signals that need your attention across AWS, Azure, and GCP, so you can triage from one place and decide where to look next.

The logs self-service configuration API, which had previously been available to all Grafana Cloud Logs users, is being deprecated and will be removed.

This API is being replaced by the Grafana Database Configuration app, which will only be available to paid users of Grafana Cloud.

We’ve enhanced the panel errors icon to provide more information around query errors and notices.

This update brings three significant updates. First, the icon is dynamic reflecting the highest severity notice on a panel. Second, when you hover your cursor over the icon, there’s a new tooltip showing all the panel errors, sorted by severity. Lastly we’ve added a new Errors and Notices tab in the panel inspector drawer to better view the results.
