Revamped Recommendations UI for Adaptive Metrics

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Adaptive Telemetry Metrics
Release date: 2026-06-08

Get started optimizing your Cloud Metrics quickly and more easily.!

The Adaptive Metrics UI has been revamped to improve readability and instill confidence in our optimization recommendations. Here are a few of the highlights:


Suspect Commits in Frontend Observability

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Frontend Observability
Release date: 2026-06-08

When an error appears in your app, you want to know which code change caused it — without digging through git log. Suspect Commits in Frontend Observability now pins the exact commit your app was built from at the top of the candidate list on the error summary page, so you can go straight from a stack trace to the change that introduced it.


Assistant health check for Kubernetes Monitoring

Grafana Cloud Available in public preview Kubernetes Monitoring
Release date: 2026-06-04

The Kubernetes Monitoring app runs health checks and notifies you on any detail page’s overview tab. This check surfaces problems in plain language before you even go looking.


Control which k6 version runs your Synthetic Monitoring checks

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Synthetic Monitoring
Release date: 2026-06-03

Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring now gives you control over which k6 major version runs your scripted and browser checks. With k6 version channels, you can stay on a stable release while k6 continues to evolve, and move to a new major version on your own terms.


MFA in Grafana Cloud

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Security Authentication and authorization
Release date: 2026-06-02

Introducing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Grafana Cloud accounts.

You can add an extra layer of security to your Grafana Cloud accounts by enabling MFA on the new MFA page under User Settings. You can configure MFA with any standard TOTP authenticator app, including Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, and similar apps, by scanning a QR code during setup.


Monitor Aurora clusters in Cloud Provider Observability

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Infrastructure Observability Cloud Provider Observability
Release date: 2026-06-01

You can now monitor Amazon Aurora clusters directly in the AWS RDS preconfigured dashboard in Cloud Provider Observability. The new Aurora tab gives you a cluster-level view of capacity, storage, and performance so you can spot scaling issues and database bottlenecks without piecing together metrics from individual instances.

Release date: 2026-05-26

The copy and paste panel styles feature we announced in April 2026 is now generally available in all editions of Grafana. Copy display options and field styling from one panel and paste them onto another panel of the same type—without duplicating panels or reconfiguring options manually.

Screenshot thumbnails for browser checks in Synthetic Monitoring Timepoint Explorer

Grafana Cloud Available in private preview Synthetic Monitoring
Release date: 2026-05-19

When debugging browser check failures like “timeout waiting for a selector”, you previously had to rely on text logs alone to understand what the browser rendered. Now, with screenshot thumbnails in the Timepoint Explorer and ad-hoc test panel, you can see exactly what the page looked like at the moment the check ran.


Grafana Documentation now ships as Markdown

Grafana Cloud Generally Available AI
Release date: 2026-05-15

AI coding assistants and LLM workflows work best when they can pull in clean, structured context—but until now, getting Grafana documentation into your prompt meant scraping HTML and stripping out navigation, headers, and styling. No more.


Enhanced metrics for AWS with Cloud Provider Observability

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Infrastructure Observability Cloud Provider Observability
Release date: 2026-05-13

Cloud Provider Observability now supports enhanced metrics, enabling you to monitor important service insights that aren’t available directly in CloudWatch. New derived metrics for such services as AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, and ElastiCache provide deeper visibility into resource capacity, usage, and limits—helping you build more informative dashboards and alerts.


Cost Attribution for Performance Testing

Grafana Cloud Generally Available K6 Cost management
Release date: 2026-05-13

The Cost Management and Billing app now supports Cost Attribution for Performance Testing!

You can break down Virtual User Hour (VUH) consumption using labels assigned to your k6 projects. This makes it easier to understand and allocate performance testing costs across teams, departments, environments, services, or any other dimension that matters to your organization.
