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.


Query Snowflake, Jira, Dynatrace, and five more directly from Grafana Assistant

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Data sources
Release date: 2026-05-30

Grafana Assistant now supports eight new data sources

Grafana Assistant can now query Snowflake, MongoDB, Oracle, Elasticsearch, Dynatrace, Honeycomb, Zabbix, and Jira directly.

This means you can ask a single question and get answers that draw from across your observability stack, your databases, and your project tracking tools, without switching between systems. An investigation that starts with an alert can pull in error rates from Dynatrace, query performance from Oracle, and recent deployments from Jira, all in one conversation.


The MQTT, GitHub, and IBM Db2 data source plugins now support PDC

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Enterprise Generally Available Data sources
Release date: 2026-05-29

Private Data Source Connect (PDC) adds support for three new data sources: MQTT, GitHub, and IBM Db2.

PDC creates a private, encrypted tunnel between your Grafana Cloud stack and data sources running inside private networks, VPCs, or on-premises environments. No public endpoint required.

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Dashboards and visualizations
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.


Alerting: the legacy Alertmanager UI is no longer available in Grafana Cloud

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Alerting
Release date: 2026-05-15

The legacy Prometheus Alertmanager built-in UI is no longer available in Grafana Cloud. This is the old Alertmanager web interface, served per cluster at alertmanager-<cluster>.grafana.net and reached through a separate OAuth login (its URLs contain a /#/ fragment, for example /#/alerts).


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.

Quick filters and data grouping are now generally available

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Dashboards and visualizations
Release date: 2026-05-13

Quick filters and grouping are now generally available in Grafana!

The new Filter and Group by dashboard control makes it faster and easier to explore data by combining filtering and grouping in a single, intuitive experience. With default filters, recent filter history, a unified filters overview, and panel-level drilldowns, users can investigate data faster while keeping dashboards clean and easy to navigate.


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.
