More control over how you explore and display table data

A simpler way to manage metrics and recommendations in Adaptive Metrics
Adaptive Metrics now features a redesigned interface that separates optimization recommendations from rule configurations. This update simplifies metric management and impact analysis.
Automatic self-monitoring in Fleet Management
Fleet Management now automatically deploys self-monitoring pipelines to connected Grafana Alloy or OpenTelemetry collectors.
Group and delete multiple panels from the dashboard
Users can now select multiple panels on the dashboard canvas to group or delete them simultaneously using the actions tooltip.
