There are also updates to alert rule settings and notification policies that help reduce alerting noise.
Fuzzy search, direct access to alert rules from dashboards, and more make managing your alert rules and monitoring your data a seamless experience. To learn more, check out our Grafana Alerting documentation.
Improve your security with service accounts
Generally available in Grafana OSS, Grafana Cloud (Free, Pro, Advanced), and Grafana Enterprise
Harness the power of service accounts, ensuring a more secure and controlled approach to access management within your organization. By leveraging service accounts, you’ll benefit from improved role-syncing behavior when using external authentication providers, keeping your data safe and accessible only to those who need it.
*Recommendation: Migrate your existing API keys to service accounts and start using new service accounts instead of creating new API keys. This is a more secure and controlled approach to access management.

Enhanced accessibility with redesigned dashboard panels
Generally available in Grafana OSS, Grafana Cloud (Free, Pro, Advanced), and Grafana Enterprise
Easily interact with your panels through an optimized layout, offering better accessibility and a more intuitive experience. Discover improvements such as concise panel descriptions, streamlined error messages, and accessible key actions in the panel header.
Maximize uptime with support bundles
Generally available in Grafana OSS, Grafana Cloud (Free, Pro, Advanced), and Grafana Enterprise
Reduce the time spent on troubleshooting and resolving issues by taking advantage of support bundles, a collection of files that you can share with your colleagues and contributors. Quickly gather essential diagnostic information, logs, and configuration details to help your support team identify and fix problems faster. Spend less time resolving issues and more time optimizing your monitoring and observability.
Discover advanced features in Grafana Enterprise
Grafana Enterprise customers can unlock even more powerful features with this release, such as advanced RBAC controls, custom reporting options, and extended data source capabilities.
