Alert Enrichment

Alert enrichment is generally available in Grafana Cloud. It adds context to your alert notifications before they reach you. You can start diagnosing an issue, plan a fix, and judge severity without first opening Grafana or another tool. Each enrichment runs when an alert fires and attaches its results to the notification.

Scripted dashboards will be removed in Grafana 14

Scripted dashboards will be removed in Grafana 14. Scripted dashboards are a legacy mechanism that we deprecated years ago and are now retiring. If you use them, plan to migrate before you upgrade to Grafana 14, after which they’ll stop working entirely. Grafana now offers dynamic dashboards and robust as-code solutions for managing dashboards at scale.

Improved auto layout indication when editing dashboards

When you edit a dashboard that uses auto layout, Grafana manages panel sizes automatically. Until now, it wasn’t always clear why dragging the lower-right corner of a panel had no effect or how to change the layout. In edit mode, Grafana now shows a layout indicator on the tab you’re working with and when you hover over a row.

Guided configuration and column picker in Kubernetes Monitoring

Guided configuration steps in Kubernetes Monitoring let you set up a Cluster by describing your environment instead of tuning Alloy yourself.
