Storing a service account JSON key file to connect Grafana Cloud to Google Cloud is a persistent security liability. Keys get embedded in config files, shared across teams, or quietly forgotten , all while remaining valid for years. When one leaks, there’s no automatic expiry and no limited blast radius.
k6 v2.1.0 is here 🎉 This release includes: An opt-in feature-flag system , --features , the K6_FEATURES environment variable, and a k6 features discovery command , shipping with experimental native histograms for trend metrics as its first flag. A context-level proxy option for browser contexts.
You can now star test runs in Grafana Cloud k6 to mark the results that matter and find them again quickly. Starring gives you one consistent way to flag a test run as a reference point, whether you’re tracking a release, validating a performance optimization, or keeping an important run on hand to compare against.
In Grafana Cloud, the internal Grafana Alertmanager handles Grafana-managed alerts by default. New stacks use internal routing by default. Sending to an external Alertmanager isn’t enabled by default. Existing stacks move to internal routing by default, plan by plan.
Earlier this year, we introduced multi-property variables in public preview for Grafana OSS and Enterprise (and generally available in Grafana Cloud). Now, this feature is generally available in Grafana OSS and Enterprise. Multi-property variables are a simple, powerful way to let you map several identifiers to a single variable using a JSON array.
PDC app v0.14.17 fixes an issue with token generation for older PDC networks created before 2024. Dependencies have also been cleaned up, with an obsolete dependency removed that is no longer needed in modern browsers. No action is required; this update will roll out automatically to Grafana Cloud stacks in phases.
The revamped query editor experience is now in public preview. Since the initial private preview release , we’ve continued to refine the experience and added two new capabilities to help you work with complex panels even faster: multi-select with bulk actions and a stacked view.
Analyze metrics cardinality history directly in the Cost Management and Billing App We’re excited to announce the general availability of Historical Cardinality! When active series counts increase, it can be difficult to determine what changed and which metrics or labels are responsible.
You can now add static labels to Azure metrics credentials in Cloud Provider Observability. Static labels are custom key-value pairs that are attached to every metric collected from a credential, giving you a consistent, queryable dimension that Azure Monitor doesn’t provide on its own.
Recently, we introduced several improvements to annotations to make them easier to explore, navigate, and manage at scale, including annotations clustering and indicator controls. These changes were introduced in public preview and now they are generally available. For more information about these changes, refer to the original announcement .
In Grafana Cloud, we’re rolling out a change to what resource administrators can see on a resource’s permissions list. If you can view and manage the permissions on a folder or dashboard, you will soon see every user and team that has access to it. Today, Grafana filters that list.
Earlier this year we announced the addition of section-level variables for rows and tabs. This feature is now generally available. If your dashboard includes both an API gateway and a database, changing something like an $instance variable affects all panels at once.
Grafana Alerting’s provisioning endpoints now reject duplicate secret keys that differ in casing. Requests that include duplicate keys will now be treated as validation errors with a 4XX status code.
k6 v1.8.0 is here! This maintenance release on v1.x includes: Cloud secrets are now automatically available in k6 cloud run --local-execution , use --no-cloud-secrets to opt out. Pre-manifest extension dependencies are captured in archive metadata for cloud consumers.
After you’ve enabled the Kubernetes manifests feature, the k8s-manifest-tail component collects changes to resources on your Cluster. With this, you can these techniques to relate deployment changes to behavior you observe in Kubernetes Monitoring. You’re able to: View your deployment manifests and the differences between them. Analyze deployment changes.
The Kubernetes Monitoring app runs health checks and notifies you on any detail page’s overview tab. This check surfaces problems in plain language before you even go looking. Look for a health check banner with a status (Healthy or Unhealthy) and a one-line summary of any issues found.
Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring now gives you control over which k6 major version runs your scripted and browser checks. With k6 version channels, you can stay on a stable release while k6 continues to evolve, and move to a new major version on your own terms. Version channels map to k6 major versions, for example, v1.x or v2.x.
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 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.
