Releasesby Glyphk6 Studio 2.0: browser test authoring and autocorrelation are generally available
Building a realistic performance test usually means writing selectors by hand, hunting down session tokens that break your script on playback, and tuning configuration before you can run anything. The latest Grafana k6 Studio release takes that work off your plate, with browser test authoring and autocorrelation now generally available.

Data movement policies (General availability)

Role-based access control (RBAC) is generally available
Role-based access control (RBAC) is now generally available. RBAC lets users assume a role in Databricks. When a user assumes a role, only that role's permissions apply, rather than the user's accumulated permissions. This enables exclusive access.
ai_extract precision mode is now generally available
You can now use ai_extract precision mode for advanced extraction workloads, including multi-page documents, schemas with 50 or more fields, many extracted items per document, and complex conditional field logic. See ai_extract function .

Further optimize metrics costs with Adaptive Metrics recommendations configuration
Realize even more savings by optimizing data you don’t need. Adaptive Metrics now lets you choose to ignore unused dashboards or ad hoc queries when creating usage based optimization recommendations.
Authoring commits in Git Sync
Starting in Grafana 13.2.0, you can include authoring information to your commits. If you don’t enable commit signing, you can use author override to author commits. If you don’t select author override, the signed-in Grafana user name and email will be used as the commit author.
Git Sync support for GitHub enterprise
Git Sync now supports GitHub Enterprise, both Server and Cloud versions. You can now provision your dashboards as JSON files and your folders in your GitHub enterprise instance using Git Sync. If you make any changes in your synchronized Git repositories, they will be updated in the Grafana database as well, and vice-versa.
Service and workload entities are separating in Entity Catalog and Entity Graph
Application services and the Kubernetes workloads they run on are now separate entities, connected by a relationship, instead of a single merged entity. This follows the model most teams already work with: an application runs on infrastructure, and in Kubernetes that infrastructure is a workload.
Webhooks available for GitLab and BitBucket
In Grafana OSS/Enterprise, Git Sync uses webhooks to enable real-time updates from GitHub public repositories, or to enable pull request integrations. Webhooks are now available for GitLab and BitBucket.
Revamped homepage for Grafana
We’ve applied a fresh coat of paint to the Grafana homepage and added a couple of new features while we’re there. We’ve updated the homepage for your Grafana on-prem installation, aligning it to the same core experience that powers Grafana Cloud.
Export traces of Grafana to a file for easier troubleshooting
When you operate Grafana yourself and have to troubleshoot performance issues, distributed traces are often the quickest way to see what’s going on under the hood. Until now, collecting them meant standing up an OpenTelemetry Collector and a tracing backend just to investigate a single issue. Now Grafana can write its own traces directly to a file.
Azure Monitor Batch API
The Azure Monitor data source now supports the Azure Monitor Metrics Batch API . Instead of sending one request per resource, Grafana groups eligible metric queries and sends them together. This means fewer calls to Azure, faster queries, and less chance of throttling on dashboards that query many resources.
