Full changelog

Showing the tooltip on all panels at the same time has been a long standing request in Grafana and we are really happy to finally be able to release it. You can enable/disable the shared tooltip from the dashboard settings menu or cycle between default, shared tooltip and shared crosshair by pressing CTRL + O or CMD + O.

Help text for panel

You can set a help text in the general tab on any panel. The help text is using Markdown to enable better formating and linking to other sites that can provide more information.

Panels with a help text available have a little indicator in the top left corner. You can show the help text by hovering the icon.

Easier Cloudwatch configuration

In Grafana 4.1.0 you can configure your Cloudwatch data source with access key and secret key directly in the data source configuration page. This enables people to use the Cloudwatch data source without having access to the filesystem where Grafana is running.

Once the access key and secret key have been saved the user will no longer be able to view them.
