HTTP compression now enabled by default

Previously, the enable_gzip configuration option in the [server] section of the Grafana configuration file, which enables HTTP compression, was disabled by default with the recommendation that most users manually enable it. Starting in Grafana v13.0, this setting is enabled by default.

Mitigation

To disable HTTP compression, set the enable_gzip configuration option to false in your grafana.ini or custom.ini configuration file. For more information on configuration options, refer to Configure Grafana.
