We’re excited to introduce service account token authentication for the OnCall API. With this change, you can now generate tokens to interact with the API so that they:
The Grafana Cloud platform and Grafana Cloud k6 application include a broad range of features that can help you maximize the value you get for your testing strategy. But, with several features to learn, sometimes it can take time to figure out where to start.
We’ve made some big changes to the panel image sharing experience. When you share a panel link, there’s a new Panel preview section where you can:
We’re excited to announce that a new version of the Grafana Cloud k6 API is now available!
The new Grafana Cloud k6 API includes endpoints that make it easier for teams to integrate k6 with their CI/CD processes. You can:
Grafana-managed alert rules are now supported in Grafana SLO!
Grafana-managed alerting rules gives you access to features like alerting annotations on SLO dashboard panels, SLO alert state history, and images in SLO alert notifications.
Your alerting system can be managed via plugin preferences, and can be set to generate either datasource-managed alert rules, or Grafana-managed alert rules. Check out the documentation for more information.
In October 2024, we announced our redesigned dashboard filters. Now we’re promoting this redesign from public preview to GA.
The redesigned filters are more prominent in the dashboard and filters based on the same ad hoc filter variable are more clearly related. Also, labels can have more than one value using the new multi-select operators. For more information about these changes, refer to the original What’s new entry.
TraceQL queries now use regular expressions that are anchored at both ends. This change makes the queries faster and matches the behavior of PromQL, where regular expressions are also fully anchored.
The Grafana Datadog plugin now includes two new features:
- Percentile Aggregation Function for distribution-type metrics.
- New Query Variable Syntax – now supports all tags associated with a metric.
For more details, check out the video and Grafana Datadog data source documentation.
The AWS CloudWatch data source plugin now offers two new query languages for searching through logs: OpenSearch PPL and OpenSearch SQL. You now have increased flexibility to choose a more familiar query language and to take advantage of their unique features (like the SQL JOIN command) when querying AWS CloudWatch Logs Insights. In addition to the already supported Logs Insights QL option, you can find the added query language options in the new Query language drop-down list.
In May 2024, we announced a new way of generating PDFs that introduced a major performance improvement for the PDF export feature. It also fixed all caveats related to rendering a report with panels or rows set to repeat by a variable, like rendering repeating panels inside collapsed rows.
Many teams struggle with picking SLO targets, particularly for new SLOs. The target percentage drives the sensitivity of the burn rate calculations, the error budget remaining, and it can tune alert volume. If you assume you want to create an SLO to ensure “99.5% of HTTP requests return successfully in under 500 ms”, how do you know that 99.5% is a realistic target for your service? People often guess or take a number from management.
Use Search to find any Kubernetes object in your fleet.
Create a new alert rule definition as part of a provisioned rule group and export it into Terraform (HCL) format. Copy and paste the code into your Terraform pipeline to create your new alert rule. Previously, you had to add the rule definition to the code manually. Now, you can get that code from the UI, enabling you to quickly deploy and manage alert rules as part of your infrastructure as code.
With the AWS CloudWatch integration, you can scrape your CloudWatch metrics and logs and forward them to Grafana Cloud for a centralized place to monitor and alert on your infrastructure and large scale applications. However, handling AWS scrape jobs at scale can be tedious. Now, manage them as code with Terraform in Grafana Cloud! Scale smarter—quickly create, update, or delete scrape jobs with ease and precision.
Have you ever had a Grafana Cloud Logs query time out because it tried to process too much data? Query acceleration leverages bloom filters to quickly filter on structured metadata, showing you results faster and making timeouts less likely.
