What’s new in Grafana Cloud

The Tempo data source now supports query-type template variables. With this update, you can create variables for which the values are a list of attribute names or attribute values seen on spans received by Tempo.

To learn more, refer to the following video demo, as well as the Grafana Variables documentation.

The Datadog data source supports blocking API requests based on upstream rate limits (for metric queries). With this update, you can set a rate limit percentage at which the plugin stops sending queries.

To learn more, refer to Datadog data source settings, as well as the following video demo.

The Datadog data source now supports log aggregation. This feature helps aggregate logs/events into buckets and compute metrics and time series. For more information, refer to Datadog log aggregation.

With the current release, we enabled RBAC permission validation (rbac.permission_validation_enabled setting) by default. This means that the permissions provided in the request during custom role creation or update are validated against the list of available permissions and their scopes. If the request contains a permission that is not available or the scope of the permission is not valid, the request is rejected with an error message.
