Text visualizations are useful for adding context to dashboards, but the core visualization has traditionally been limited to static Markdown, HTML, and dashboard variables. If you wanted to create a table from query results, display a status summary, or change text based on a value, you often had to use custom code or another visualization type.
Synthetic Monitoring checks can now connect directly to Grafana SLO (Service Level Objective), so you can use checks and their reachability data to measure service reliability. How it works Open any check’s dashboard and use the Linked SLOs button to create an SLO right from a Synthetic Monitoring check!
When you activate an observability solution on an existing Grafana Cloud stack, the Grafana Cloud Knowledge Graph automatically maps that solution’s entities and insights. Services, hosts, Kubernetes resources, and their relationships appear in the knowledge graph without any additional configuration.
Panel time settings and time comparison are now generally available. The Panel time settings drawer brings a panel’s time options together in one place. Open the panel menu and select Time settings to override the dashboard time range for a single panel, shift that panel’s window, or compare its data against an earlier period, all without entering dashboard...
Moving alert rules from Mimir and Prometheus to Grafana previously meant manually rebuilding their notification setup in Grafana. Now you can import your existing Prometheus or Mimir Alertmanager configuration alongside your alert rules, bringing routing and notification settings with you instead of recreating them from scratch.
k6 v2.3.0 is here 🎉! This release includes: A --scenario flag to run selected parts of a test without editing the script. A --once flag to reuse load-test scripts for smoke and functional testing. Experimental async group() support that keeps metrics in the right group across await . Built-in byte encoding, Set operations, and raw JSON values.
Make log ingest cost effective with fleet-managed Adaptive Logs! Now available in public preview, Adaptive Logs applies your drop rules and exemptions on collectors you already run, so matching logs are filtered before they leave your environment. Pattern drop rates still run in Grafana Cloud.
We’re excited to announce the general availability of secrets management in Grafana Cloud, along with a new AWS Secrets Manager integration. Secrets management gives you one safe place to store the API keys, tokens, and passwords that your Synthetic Monitoring checks and Grafana Cloud k6 tests need, so credentials never end up in your scripts.
From a service in the entity catalog, open the SLO tab. If the service has no SLOs yet, Grafana suggests availability and latency targets from recent request, error and latency metrics. You can edit the name, target and window, choose a folder, optionally add burn-rate alerts and create the SLO. You can also create one manually.
New Grafana Cloud organizations get Grafana Application Observability powered by the Grafana Cloud Knowledge Graph automatically. Host, Kubernetes, and Database Observability activate alongside it, so you get correlated, full-stack context on your services, infrastructure, and dependencies from the moment you start sending telemetry.
