Explore IBM DB2 data directly from Grafana
At Grafana, we believe all data deserves visibility. That’s the heart of our Big Tent philosophy. Whether your data comes from cloud-native systems, modern SaaS tools, or long-standing enterprise databases like IBM DB2, it should be easy to explore and visualize in one place. For many organizations, DB2 powers some of their most critical systems.
Multiple policy tree support in Grafana Alerting
Grafana Alerting has added the ability to create multiple policy trees for Alertmanager, allowing for smaller, independently managed policy trees. This enables individual provisioning and lifecycle management of policies instead of one single policy tree, resulting in clearer organization of routing logic by team, service, or domain.
Plugin processes no longer receive all host environment variables by default
Starting in Grafana v12.4, plugin processes no longer receive all host environment variables by default. This change improves security by limiting plugin access to environment variables from the Grafana host process. Previously, all environment variables from the Grafana process were automatically forwarded to plugin processes.
Unified storage for playlists
We’re excited to introduce unified storage for playlists in self-managed Grafana! When Grafana v12.4 starts, the migration system automatically transfers your playlists from the legacy SQL database to unified storage and validates data integrity after the migration completes.
Automatic storage migration for small instances
If your instance is small, Grafana now automatically migrates your folders and dashboards to Unified Storage. While this migration won’t have any visible change in the system, it will prepare you for upcoming storage improvements with zero configuration required.
Label management: a central place for shared labels across alerts, incidents, and SLOs
You can now create and manage labels from a single location in Grafana Cloud. Label management , available under Alerts and IRM in the Grafana main menu, provides a central view of the labels you use across your alerting, incident response, and operational workflows. Labels are shared across Alerting, IRM, and SLOs.
Support for GitLab, BitBucket and pure Git in Git Sync
You asked, we listened. After announcing the Public preview for Grafana Cloud at the beginning of the month, we are now enabling more functionalities for Git Sync. The top voted feature request was enabling the connection with more providers, and also with self-hosted instances of Git repositories.
Customize dashboard templates with Grafana Assistant
We’ve integrated Grafana Assistant into dashboard templates, so you can now ask the Assistant to help you with the process. Templates are a powerful way to create dashboards quickly, but they don’t always match your real-world metric names or data sources.
