Multidimensional SLO dashboards for Advanced SLOs

Grafana Cloud Generally Available SLOs
Release date: 2024-02-01

The SLO App generates dashboards to help user pinpoint where they are burning their error budget, in which clusters, for example, by supporting multidimensional SLOs (SLOs that preserve one or more dimensions / label-values). The dashboards that help identify in which dimension the SLI is underperforming were previously only available for ratio-type SLOs or SLO expressions that were fairly simple.


Self-serve Static IPs in Grafana Cloud k6

Grafana Cloud Generally Available K6
Release date: 2024-02-01

Using Static IPs with k6 allows you to know which IP addresses will be used by the cloud instances generating load during your test runs. This allows you to whitelist these IP addresses only. Knowing the IP addresses that are used can make it easier to identify logs and traffic created specifically by the k6 load tests.

Grafana Cloud Available in public preview
Release date: 2024-01-30

Administrators are now able to directly install, update and uninstall plugins from within Grafana itself, removing the need to switch context and navigate to Grafana.com. This makes it easier than ever to manage plugins in your Grafana Cloud instance and reduces the risk of attempting to install plugins which are incompatible with your Grafana configuration.

Return to previous

Grafana Cloud Available in public preview Open source Enterprise Generally Available
Release date: 2024-01-30

When you’re browsing Grafana - for example, exploring the dashboard and metrics related to an alert - it’s easy to end up far from where you started and hard get back to where you came from. The ‘Return to previous’ button is an easy way to go back to the previous context, like the alert rule that kicked off your exploration. This first release works for Alerts, and we plan to expand to other apps and features in Grafana in future releases to make it easier to navigate around.


Copy and paste time range

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Dashboards and visualizations Explore
Release date: 2024-01-28

Copying and pasting time range in the time range picker is now available. For example, you can copy a time range in Explore and paste it into Dashboards and vice versa. You can also copy and paste a time range using the new keyboard shortcuts t+c and t+v, respectively.


Support for adding responders to Opsgenie alerting contact point

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Alerting
Release date: 2024-01-23

The Opsgenie contact point has been extended to allow users to optionally fill out responder information for their integration. Responders tell Opsgenie who an alert should notify according to their escalation policies and routing rules.


Improved short link options in Explore

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Generally Available Explore
Release date: 2024-01-23

New in Explore, more options for sharing your query results! The time picker in Grafana has always had two categories - relative (for example, now to 2 hours ago) and absolute (8am to 10am). Explore has allowed people to copy links and create short links with exactly what their time picker had set, but now additionally you have the option to get a link or create a short link with the time range made absolute, even if you are viewing relative time. This means whoever looks at your link will see exactly the data you are seeing, no matter when they open the link. This is available as a dropdown next to the existing shortlink button in Explore.


Table data in PDF reports

Grafana Cloud Available in public preview Enterprise Available in public preview Dashboards and visualizations
Release date: 2024-01-23

We’ve improved the reporting experience with options to make all of your table data accessible in PDFs. Previously, if your dashboard included large table visualizations, you couldn’t see all of the table data in your PDF report. Unlike in Grafana, you couldn’t scroll in the PDF table visualization or click on the page numbers. With this new feature, you now have the option to see all the data directly in your PDF without losing your dashboard layout.


Moving average and trend lines using transformations

Release date: 2024-01-15

We’ve added two new features to transformations in Grafana, to help you make sense of your data.

Moving average

Sometimes your data is too noisy to quickly grasp what’s going on. A common way to address this issue is to calculate the moving mean, or moving average, to filter out some of that noise. Luckily, many data sources already support calculating the moving mean, but when the support is lacking or you’re not well versed in the query language, until now, you were stuck with the noise.

Noisy data can hide the general trend of your data
