Grafana Assistant is now Generally Available
We are excited to announce the General Availability of Grafana Assistant in Grafana Cloud.
With Grafana Assistant you no longer need to juggle tabs or write complex queries when incidents start. Open Grafana, click the sparkle icon, describe the goal, and let the Assistant guide you. It runs inside your Grafana session, inherits your permissions, and grounds every answer in your own telemetry so you stay in control from first question to resolution.
GA means the Assistant is ready for everyday use across your teams. It helps you write and validate queries, build and refine dashboards, navigate to the right places in Grafana, and explain patterns in plain language.
What this means for you
Faster triage and root cause. Ask for a goal. Get queries, context, and a clear next step. Use investigations for parallel analysis when the issue spans services.
Less query toil. Describe intent. The Assistant drafts, validates, and optimizes queries before you commit them to dashboards or alerts.
Cleaner handoffs. Copy summaries to tickets or chat. Share links to dashboards and investigations. Use feedback controls to improve results over time.
Safe, secure, and trustworthy. RBAC controls access. Requests route through Grafana Cloud with encryption, auditing, and least-privilege design. No business data training of external models. Providers are configured for zero retention.
Key highlights you will use on day one
Grafana Assistant workflows support multiple audiences: site reliability engineers and operators who triage incidents, dashboard authors and analysts who publish insights, and platform administrators who coordinate access and automation.
Start with your own voice and let the Assistant handle the mechanics. When you describe a goal, it drafts PromQL, LogQL, SQL, and more, validates the syntax, and suggests safer, faster alternatives before you ship changes to dashboards or alerts.
Full signal coverage. Work across metrics, logs, traces, and profiles in one flow. Use Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Pyroscope without switching tools. Pivot between signals during incidents.
SQL data sources. Blend business and ops data. Query PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, or BigQuery and correlate KPIs with system behavior.
Knowledge Graph. If your stack uses the Knowledge Graph, the Assistant surfaces related context. I cannot confirm this in the attached docs.
Infrastructure memory. Give the Assistant live service context. Run discovery to capture services, dependencies, labels, and triage checklists. Answers and investigations stay aligned to your topology. Refresh after changes.
Rules. Ship a consistent, governed Assistant across your organization. Set tone, encode best practices, add infra hints, and nudge workflow escalations. Apply per user or tenant. Update any time.
MCP servers. Bring your tools and knowledge into the Grafana Assistant. Connect MCP servers with HTTPS and OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. Control scope with RBAC. Remove access when no longer needed.
Get started right away
Administrators can enable Grafana Assistant for your Grafana Cloud account by accepting its terms and conditions in the plugin configuration. Once enabled, open the sidebar and ask a focused question, adding an @ mention for a data source or dashboard to ground the answer. The built-in tutorial and prompting guide help new users ramp up quickly.
Grafana Assistant is free to use until January 1, 2026, with fair-usage allowances and built-in usage indicators to help you track adoption.
