Git Sync now available in Public Preview
Git Sync in Grafana lets you manage your dashboards as code as JSON files stored in GitHub. You and your team can use it to version control, collaborate, and automate deployments efficiently. This feature, now starting to roll out to all Grafana Cloud instances in Public Preview , lets you benefit from a native Git workflow directly from Grafana.

Agents, Workers - Agents SDK v0.4.0: Readonly connections, MCP security improvements, x402 v2 migration, and custom MCP OAuth providers
The latest release of the Agents SDK ↗ brings readonly connections, MCP protocol and security improvements, x402 payment protocol v2 migration, and the ability to customize OAuth for MCP server connections. Readonly connections Agents can now restrict WebSocket clients to read-only access, preventing them from modifying agent state.
Agents - Interactive browser terminals in Sandboxes
The Sandbox SDK ↗ now supports PTY (pseudo-terminal) passthrough, enabling browser-based terminal UIs to connect to sandbox shells via WebSocket. sandbox.terminal(request) The new terminal() method proxies a WebSocket upgrade to the container's PTY endpoint, with output buffering for replay on reconnect.
AI Crawl Control - Analytics enhancements
AI Crawl Control metrics have been enhanced with new views, improved filtering, and better data visualization. Path pattern grouping In the Metrics tab > Most popular paths table, use the new Patterns tab that groups requests by URI pattern ( /blog/* , /api/v1/* , /docs/* ) to identify which site areas crawlers target most. Refer to the screenshot above.
AI Search now with more granular controls over indexing
Get your content updates into AI Search faster and avoid a full rescan when you do not need it. Reindex individual files without a full sync Updated a file or need to retry one that errored? When you know exactly which file changed, you can now reindex it directly instead of rescanning your entire data source.
Log Explorer - Tabs and pivots
Log Explorer now supports multiple concurrent queries with the new Tabs feature. Work with multiple queries simultaneously and pivot between datasets to investigate malicious activity more effectively. Key capabilities Multiple tabs: Open and switch between multiple query tabs to compare results across different datasets.
R2 SQL now supports approximate aggregation functions
R2 SQL now supports five approximate aggregation functions for fast analysis of large datasets. These functions trade minor precision for improved performance on high-cardinality data. New functions APPROX_PERCENTILE_CONT(column, percentile) , Returns the approximate value at a given percentile (0.0 to 1.0). Works on integer and decimal columns.

Costs and savings in Kubernetes Monitoring
Kubernetes costs are notoriously hard to track and optimize. New Overview and Savings tabs in Kubernetes Monitoring show: Spending across the past 60 days Potential savings for the next 30 days How much you can save by optimizing resources Recommendations from Grafana Assistant about your data Track spending trends with 60-day historic costs Quantified...
Diversity sampling for Adaptive Traces
Easily and confidently optimize trace storage while ensuring even your smallest sets of traces are represented. Diversity sampling captures at least one trace for each unique trace combination (fingerprint) within a fixed time window. These combinations are defined by attributes such as service, route, and status code.
Pending period added to alert states
Pending periods have been added to NoData and Error alert states in Alerting to help reduce noise by preventing notifications triggering after first evaluation and giving you more granular control. Now, NoData and Error alerts honor the same pending period as regular alerts. Notifications are sent only after the pending period elapses.
Default Spreadsheets in the Google Sheets Data Source
Using the Google Sheets data source in Grafana is all about speed and flexibility, but one recurring friction point was having to reselect the same spreadsheet every time the data source was used. We’ve improved that experience.
Map one variable to multiple values
We’re excited to introduce multi-property variables, a simple, powerful way to let you map several identifiers to a single variable. Instead of creating and keeping multiple variables for the same logical concept in sync (for example, an environment identified as “dev” vs “development”), you can map all of those identifiers to one variable and then...
Default columns configuration for Logs Drilldown
You can now configure default columns for Logs Drilldown directly from the plugin configuration page. This new capability allows administrators to define which fields (or columns) are displayed by default based on the selected set of labels.
Save and resume log explorations in Logs Drilldown
You can now save a log exploration in Logs Drilldown and return to it later. Saved explorations include your active filters, so you don’t have to recreate the same view each time you investigate an issue. How this works depends on your deployment: Grafana OSS: Explorations are saved in your browser’s local storage.
