Join co-chairs Carl Bergquist, Mihaela Maior, and Richard “RichiH” Hartmann for the official kickoff to GrafanaCON 2025! Members of our engineering team will make some exciting announcements around our open source projects and unveil what’s new in Grafana 12.

Join us for a showcase of some of the most whimsical projects that have come out of our hackathons, including Doomfana, Super Grot, and more!

Join Jesus Charles, Blue Ghost Mission 1 Flight Director, for an inside look at Firefly's recent lunar mission, the operations team, and the role Grafana played in monitoring spacecraft systems from low Earth orbit all the way to the moon's surface.

In this session, Infrastructure Software Engineer Chris Hodges shares hard-won lessons from scaling Grafana Loki to manage multi-petabyte unstructured logs for 1,000+ services at Dropbox.

This session will show you how to get the most out of Loki with Logs Drilldown, the queryless, point-and-click experience in Grafana that allows you to quickly find insights in your observability data — no queries or complicated syntax required.

Learn how Arthur Kepler's work as a site reliability engineer helped him build a remotely managed monitoring system for an orchard using solar power, remote networking, MQTT, InfluxDB, and Grafana.

3.0 is the first major version of Prometheus in seven years — and we're celebrating the milestone. With a brand-new user interface, and offering new features such as UTF-8 character support, this release also enabled many small improvements that were previously behind feature flags.

In this session, Mimir team members will preview the new features in the upcoming Grafana Mimir 3.0 major release.

See a demo of the power of Metrics Drilldown, including its novel approach to metrics exploration, integrating OpenTelemetry resource attributes with Prometheus labels.

DevOps engineer Gerard van Engelen will share how PXP leverages Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Alloy, and Faro to enable real-time, data-driven insights into system performance and user interactions. These insights support passenger satisfaction, streamline operations, and reveal new commercial opportunities for one of the busiest airports in the world.

Learn how to deploy Beyla with Prometheus and leverage the power of OpenTelemetry’s semantic conventions to observe your services with ease, in your home lab or in production.

Embark on an extraordinary journey with Project Bob, spacecraft engineer Andrew McCalip's plan to send a 14-foot drone boat on a record-breaking 25,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe, leveraging Grafana and Tailscale to achieve seamless connectivity and real-time data monitoring.

Check out the latest major release of your favorite dashboarding tool! The engineers behind the new features and functionality for Grafana will lead a deep dive session on what's new: from dashboards as code, config in git, and dynamic dashboards to updates to alerting, the app platform, and beyond.

Grafana k6 v1.0 is here! k6 contributors will demonstrate features in the open source load testing tool, such as native extensibility (no more xk6 workarounds); the OpenAPI converter to streamline and automate the creation of TypeScript-based tests; and k6 Studio, a desktop application that simplifies performance testing for everyone.

Grafana Labs' Ted Young and Johanna Öjeling provide a demo of how Alloy delivers a distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector and a high-performance Prometheus pipeline in a single binary deployment; the debugging workflows; and the performance and cost savings users have seen running it at scale.

See how Traces Drilldown in Grafana, powered by Grafana Tempo, can simplify complex troubleshooting, helping you quickly detect latency issues, identify error trends, and spot anomalies – all without having to learn yet another query language.

Learn how LLMs can evolve from simple chat interfaces to become active participants in the Grafana ecosystem with new agentic workflows.

InfluxDB 3 Core is the new open source release of InfluxDB 3, a time series and analytic event database built with Apache Arrow, DataFusion, and Parquet. InfluxDB creator Paul Dix will cover InfluxDB Core's diskless design, which allows it to operate solely with object storage (in addition to a regular local disk).

Pyroscope co-founder Ryan Perry will highlight real-world examples of how continuous profiling has transformed performance engineering at Grafana Labs and beyond, and show you how to get started with the query-less Profiles Drilldown app in Grafana.

Step into the K8s Dungeon Crawl, where Grafana isn't just for dashboards. In this lightning talk, Kim Schaefer will guide you through a modified version of the classic open source dungeon crawler Brogue. But in K8s Dungeon Crawl, in-game monsters are mirrored as Kubernetes deployments.

How much time is left on my laundry load? A million rows of metrics in TimescaleDB later, Dakota Roth had a real-time Grafana dashboard monitoring how busy the laundry room was, which machines were used the most – and yes, when his load of laundry would be done.

In this lightning talk, Jay Clifford, a developer advocate at Grafana Labs, shares his journey of applying observability practices to maintain a small carnivorous plant tank, turning his love for these fascinating plants into a data-driven passion project.

In this session, EA Software Engineer Kenny Chen walks through how his team built a Grafana dashboard that client teams can use to monitor 200+ core error metrics.

Orange Barrel Media Engineering Manager Christoph Roedig will explore how to make observability tools more helpful in real-world scenarios, such as monitoring a large network of touchscreen multimedia kiosks across the U.S.

Learn how data gathered from radio receivers fetching locations of planes, ships, and Meshtastic devices can be used to create reception overviews using Grafana, Prometheus, a bit of custom code, and a home server.

Senior Site Reliability Engineer Ruslan Dautov explores how ZEDEDA integrates Grafana, Loki, and Prometheus to deliver real-time observability for large-scale distributed, air-gapped, and intermittently connected edge infrastructures. You'll see how industries like manufacturing and energy leverage Grafana to monitor edge infrastructure under strict network constraints.

Learn about three data source plugins that can enrich your existing dashboards in new ways.

Microsoft Software Engineer John Naizer will walk through his team's migration to Grafana for executive dashboards to track metrics, manage incidents, maintain service quality, and more. The team also built a new authentication system that offered greater security than the existing native Azure authentication in Grafana and contributed the feature to Grafana OSS

That's a wrap on GrafanaCON 2025!
