Use custom images and environment variables in Grafana Cloud k6 Private Load Zones
We have released the two most requested features for Grafana Cloud k6 Private Load Zones: support for custom images and cloud environment variables. With custom images, you can run tests using a custom k6 binary. For example, if you have a k6 build with extensions, you can test protocols that are not supported by default in k6. You can configure a custom image in the PrivateLoadZone spec, by using the spec.

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.

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.
