ML-Enhanced guidance on SLO target selection

Grafana Cloud Generally Available SLOs Machine learning
Release date
2024-11-13

Many teams struggle with selecting a realistic SLO target when creating or modifying SLOs. The target sets the sensitivity for when an SLO will start to burn budget, impacting alerting noise and “error budget remaining”. 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.


Redesigned filters for dashboards

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Available in public preview Dashboards and visualizations
Release date
2024-10-28
Self-managed release
grafana-v11.5.0

We’ve redesigned dashboard filters for an improved filter creation experience!

The redesigned filters are more prominent in the dashboard and filters based on the same ad hoc filter variable are more clearly related. In the new design, you can click anywhere in the filter field to begin creating a one and Grafana automatically detects which part of the filter you’re setting up. It takes fewer clicks to create a filter and the creation process using keyboard strokes is smoother than previously.
