Built-in Generative AI support in Cloud

Grafana Cloud Available in public preview Machine learning Plugins
Release date: 2024-03-21

We released generative AI support in both OSS and Cloud last year, supporting features like Incident auto-summary and dashboard creation assistance. One downside was that it was tedious to set up – you had to install & enable the LLM plugin, and separately sign up with OpenAI or Azure to configure your own API keys.

On Cloud, this just got a lot easier!


Plugin search improvements

Release date: 2024-03-20

The Grafana plugins catalog contains over 200 data sources, panels and applications to help you make the most of your data. However, finding the right plugin can sometimes be a challenge.

Our initial search capability required an exact match on the name of the given plugin.


Removal of old Tempo Search and Loki Search in Tempo

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Data sources Traces
Release date: 2024-03-18

In Grafana v10.1, we added a Tempo search editor powered by TraceQL (search tab). We also recommended using this new editor over the older non-TraceQL powered editor.

The older non-TraceQL powered editor has been removed. Any existing queries using the older editor will be automatically migrated to the new TraceQL-powered editor.

(Re-)introducing “Keep Last State” to Grafana managed alert rules.

You can now choose to keep the last evaluated state of an alert rule when that rule produces “No Data” or “Error” results.

Cloud Logs Export

We are happy to announce Cloud Logs Export is now Generally Available to all Grafana Cloud users!

Cloud Logs Export lets users ship logs to their own object storage (AWS, GCP, Azure) for low-cost, long term retention. If you need to retain logs for long periods of time, without a need to frequently query them, Cloud Logs is the most cost effective way to do that.


Scenes for viewers

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Dashboards and visualizations
Release date: 2024-03-13

Dashboards, when accessed by users with the Viewer role, are now using the Scenes library. Those users shouldn’t see any difference in the dashboards apart from two small changes to the user interface (UI): the variables UI has slightly changed and the time picker is now part of the dashboard container.

Dashboards aren’t affected for users in other roles.
