State timeline supports pagination

The state timeline visualization now supports pagination. The Page size option lets you paginate the state timeline visualization to limit how many series are visible at once. This is useful when you have many series. Previously, all the series in a state timeline were made to fit within the single window of the panel, which could make it hard to read.

With paginated results, the visualization displays a subset of all series on each page.

Cloudwatch Metric Insights cross account observability support

We are excited to announce support for cross-account querying in Metric Insights query builder for AWS Cloudwatch Plugin. This enables building SQL queries to monitor across multiple accounts in the same region in AWS Cloudwatch.
This feature introduces an account dropdown for selecting one or all of your source accounts and builds a query that targets them. Furthermore, results can be grouped by account ID by selecting “Account ID” in the Group By dropdown.
For more complex queries that are not covered by the options in the builder you can switch to the manual Code editor and edit the query.

To set up cross-account querying for AWS Cloudwatch Plugin, see instructions here.

Export Grafana Cloud k6 browser tests to a dashboard summary

We’ve recently announced that Grafana Cloud k6 browser tests are generally available, and now you can export your browser test results as a Grafana dashboard.

Browser testing measures the performance and UX of web applications, including important metrics such as the Core Web Vitals. The exported summary breaks down each metric and explain the impact the performance of your application might have on users. Sharing the summary with your team and other stakeholders can help pinpoint areas that could use optimizations in order to create the best possible user experience.

Chrome Recorder extension for exporting k6 browser scripts

We’ve recently announced that browser tests in Grafana Cloud k6 are generally available, and you can use them to better understand your application’s user experience and fix frontend performance issues. But creating browser test scripts can be a complex task, which is why we’re releasing the k6 DevTools Recorder Chrome extension!

With the k6 DevTools Recorder Chrome extension, you can record user flows from a website using the Chrome DevTools Recorder, and then export that as a k6 browser test. That can help you create test scripts quickly, or give you a starting point to then customize your browser script to fit your needs.

Grafana SLO Folder RBAC

We’d like to announce that we have implemented a preliminary version of folder scoped SLO actions! Now, users that are Folder Editors on a specific folder, can create, update, and delete SLOs associated with those folders. They will continue to be able to view SLOs in other folders, but those SLOs cannot be editable by users who do not have Folder Editor access.

How To Implement - User who can Edit SLOs in a Particular Folder

  1. As a Grafana organization administrator, ensure that the specific user has a Viewer Basic role and the SLO > SLO Writer role
  2. In the left-side menu, click Dashboards and navigate to the Folder you want to add permissions for.
  3. Click Folder Actions and select Manage permissions from the dropdown.
  4. Click Add a permission and grant the specific user Folder Edit permissions.
  5. This user should now be able to view, create, update, and delete SLOs restricted to that particular Folder.

Centralized alert history page

View a history of all alert events generated by your Grafana-managed alert rules from one centralized page. This helps you see patterns in your alerts over time, observe trends, make predictions, and even debug alerts that might be firing too often.

An alert event is displayed each time an alert instance changes its state over a period of time. All alert events are displayed regardless of whether silences or mute timings are set, so you’ll see a complete set of your data history even if you’re not necessarily being notified.
