Logs Table UI

Table view was created to help facilitate ease of use in a point and click UI, as opposed to data source specific query language formatting options, like loki’s line_format.

Tables can be configured and shared with team members via explore URLs or by adding the table to a dashboard panel.


Generally AvailablePlugins
Release date: 2023-12-13

Command Palette extension point

Plugins can now add custom actions into Grafana’s command palette. Actions can link directly to a plugin page, or open a modal to allow users to interact with a plugin without losing their current page.

In Grafana Cloud you can use the new ‘Run investigation’ action to start a Sift investigation from anywhere in Grafana. Keep an eye out for new actions appearing in your command palette in the near future!

Monitor EC2 instances in AWS observability

Grafana AWS observability introduces monitoring for your EC2 instances, all within an embedded experience, and without the need for managing or configuring local agents or building dashboards.

New Container, pod, workload & namespace details pages in Kubernetes Monitoring

View the details of any container, pod, workload & namespace with these improved pages, which include CPU and memory utilization graphs and cost details.

The container page also shows adjacent restart and termination panels so you can visually correlate more quickly the restart and termination events, along with the reason for termination.

FlameGraph: Collapsing similar items in the graph

Sometimes profile stacks contain lots of levels with similar repeating items, for example long stacks of framework code that usually isn’t of interest but takes up a lot of visual real estate. With this feature, instead of rendering all of the similar items we render only one and allow to expand those collapsed items on demand.

To try it out, enable the ‘traceToProfiles’ feature toggle. To enable it in your Grafana Cloud stack, contact Grafana Support.


Generally AvailableAlerting
Release date: 2023-11-08

Contact points list view redesign

The Contact points list view has been redesigned and split into two tabs: Contact Points and Notification Templates, making it easier to view all contact point information at a glance. You can now search for name and type of contact points and integrations, view how many notification policies each contact point is being used for, and navigate directly to the linked notification policies.

Tempo data source: "Aggregate By" Search option to compute RED metrics over spans aggregated by attribute

We’ve added an Aggregate By option to the TraceQL query editor to leverage Grafana Cloud Traces’ metrics summary API. You can calculate RED metrics (total span count, percent erroring spans, and latency information) for spans of kind=server received in the last hour that match your filter criteria, grouped by whatever attributes you specify.

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, file contact Grafana Support.
