Grafana Labs Release notes and new features

New escalation options in Grafana IRM

Escalation chains in Grafana IRM have new options that give you more control over who gets paged, and when. Spread pages across everyone on a shift, or pull in the responder coming off the last shift. When an alert group is waiting, move it to its next step without waiting out the timer.

• New escalation options in Grafana IRM
• Silences in Grafana IRM now last as long as you set them
