Create browser tests from plain-language user journeys
Creating browser tests is now faster and easier with the new experimental Agentic testing experience in Grafana Cloud. Describe the user journey you want to test, such as signing in, completing checkout, or submitting a form, and Grafana Cloud helps turn that journey into a runnable browser test you can run, review, and iterate on without manually scripting...
Alerting: Grafana Cloud uses the internal Alertmanager for Grafana-managed alerts by default
In Grafana Cloud, the internal Grafana Alertmanager handles Grafana-managed alerts by default. New stacks use internal routing by default. Sending to an external Alertmanager isn’t enabled by default. Existing stacks move to internal routing by default, plan by plan.
Organize your Synthetic Monitoring checks in folders
Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring now lets you organize your checks into Grafana Folders. As you create more checks or onboard new teams, a single flat list becomes hard to scan. With folders, you can group checks by team, service, or environment so the right checks are always easy to find and act on a whole group at once instead of one check at a time.
Drop rule recommendations for Adaptive Logs
Want more control than our pattern-based recommendations, but not sure where to start? Adaptive Logs now walks you through creating a drop rule tailored to your environment in three guided steps: pick one of your highest-volume services, choose a drop rate, and review a pre-filled rule before any logs are dropped.
Grafana Assistant is now pre-installed in Grafana Enterprise
Starting with Grafana 13.1, Grafana Assistant comes pre-installed in Grafana Enterprise, with no plugin installation required. If you’re a Grafana Enterprise user, simply connect your Grafana Cloud account to start using Assistant right away. Get onboarded quicker, explore telemetry data, build dashboards, and get things done faster using natural language.
Git Sync: Import dashboards from the UI to simplify adding them in a synced folder
You can now import a dashboard JSON straight into a Git Sync–provisioned folder. From the folder’s browse view, hit Import and Grafana will route you through a provisioned import flow: pick the file path, branch, commit message, and workflow, and the dashboard gets committed back to your repository as part of the import.
Git Sync: verified commits
Git Sync now signs commits with your user’s signing key, so Git providers mark them as Verified. GPG, SSH, and S/MIME keys are all supported. Configure a signing key on the repository, and every commit Git Sync makes to your branch is signed automatically. This unblocks teams whose repos require verified signatures via branch protection rules.
Git Sync: README.md files added to a folder in Git are displayed in the UI
Git Sync provisioned folders now render their README.md inline below the dashboards list, out of the box. Add a README.md next to your dashboards in the repo and it shows up in Grafana: context, links, ownership notes, runbooks, whatever your team needs sitting alongside the dashboards.
