Improved auto layout indication when editing dashboards
When you edit a dashboard that uses auto layout, Grafana manages panel sizes automatically. Until now, it wasn’t always clear why dragging the lower-right corner of a panel had no effect or how to change the layout. In edit mode, Grafana now shows a layout indicator on the tab you’re working with and when you hover over a row.
Oracle: Easy Connect Plus Support
Connecting to Oracle just got easier with Easy Connect Plus. Setting up an Oracle data source in Grafana no longer means wrangling a tnsnames.ora file or spelling out a full connection descriptor. The Oracle plugin now supports Easy Connect Plus , a third connection method that encodes the host, port, and service name in a single string.

Reproduce your users' experience with Session Replay - Public Preview
Session Replay in Frontend Observability records what a user actually did in your app. All clicks, scrolls, and page state is played back to you alongside the errors, logs, and traces Frontend Observability already captures. Instead of guessing what led to a bug report, you can watch the session it happened in.
Explore busy panels with the new View panel sidebar
When a graph packs in dozens of series, understanding which ones share an anomaly means visually tracing overlapping lines. Plus, if you’re a viewer, you can’t toggle the legend or stacking to get a clearer look, because those options live in edit mode. Now, the View panel sidebar provides controls to explore it on the spot.
Adaptive Profiles is generally available in Grafana Cloud
Make distributed profiling cost effective with Adaptive Profiles! Now generally available, Adaptive Profiles applies a cost effective baseline sample rate to your services, increasing the sampling rate to 100% for a service when behavior change is detected. This allows Adaptive Profiles to reduce your stored volume by 85-90%.
Organize dashboards faster with multi-select grouping

Scripted dashboards will be removed in Grafana 14
Scripted dashboards will be removed in Grafana 14. Scripted dashboards are a legacy mechanism that we deprecated years ago and are now retiring.

Grafana now offers dynamic dashboards and robust as-code solutions for managing dashboards at scale.
