Releasesby GlyphInvestigate database performance with Grafana Assistant
When a database slows down, you can now ask Grafana Assistant a question like “Why is my orders database slow?” or “What are my worst-performing database queries?” and get an answer straight from your Grafana Cloud Database Observability telemetry with no PromQL or LogQL required.

You can now view real-time logs for your Python UDFs in Cloud Logging
You can now view real-time logs for your Python UDFs in Cloud Logging. This feature is generally available .
Cortex Extension references in agent skills (General availability)
Referencing a Cortex Extension from an agent skill is now generally available. Set the skill source type to CORTEX_EXTENSION and path to the extension's fully qualified name, and Snowflake expands the reference into the extension's member skills at request time, so you don't list each skill individually.
Cortex Agents Coding Agent (General availability)
The Cortex Agents Coding Agent is now generally available. Add the code_toolset_all tool type to a Cortex Agent, and Snowflake provisions and manages a sandbox backed by the same runtime that powers Snowflake CoCo: bash, file read/write/edit, grep, glob, web search, SQL execution, and skills.
Organization user types (General availability)
With this release, you can specify whether an organization user represents a person or a service. Set the TYPE property to SERVICE for a service or application that interacts with Snowflake without human interaction. If you don't specify a type, the organization user is a PERSON user, which matches the previous behavior.
Semantic Studio (Preview)
Semantic Studio is now available in public preview for all accounts. Semantic Studio is the authoring environment for semantic views in Workspaces, combining conversational authoring with CoCo, direct YAML editing, and deployment to the live Snowflake object in a single surface.
Zerobus Ingest into streaming tables is now generally available
Ingesting into streaming tables with Zerobus Ingest in Lakeflow Connect is now generally available. Writing to a streaming table works the same way as writing to a managed Delta table, with the same limits and quotas. See Create or identify the target table .

Panel thresholds variable interpolation
The Thresholds panel option now supports variable interpolation to help you quickly update thresholds in dashboard panels. Simply type the your variable name (for example, `$my-var` ) into a thresholds step input and manage it through the variable toggle on the dashboard. This feature will be rolled out to Grafana Cloud stacks over the next few weeks.
Cross-filter on more visualizations
We’ve recently extended support for cross-filtering, bringing support to: Histogram State timeline Status History This is in addition to the previously supported visualizations, bar chart, table, and time series. For more information about panel filtering, refer to the documentation .
Alert Enrichment
Alert enrichment is generally available in Grafana Cloud. It adds context to your alert notifications before they reach you. You can start diagnosing an issue, plan a fix, and judge severity without first opening Grafana or another tool. Each enrichment runs when an alert fires and attaches its results to the notification.
Alerting notification history
Grafana Alerting includes notification history, so you can review notifications Grafana sent for your Grafana-managed alert rules from one place. On the History page, you can open the Notifications tab to see each delivery attempt, including firing and resolved notifications, the contact point that received it, and whether delivery succeeded or failed.
k6 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.
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.
