Use Azure Private Link to send metrics, logs, and traces to Grafana Cloud
Save money and apply an extra layer of network security by using Azure Private Link to send metrics, logs, traces, and profiles to Grafana Cloud. Normally when you send telemetry from Microsoft Azure to Grafana Cloud, you incur network egress fees above a certain traffic volume and your data, though encrypted, traverses the public internet. With Azure Private Link, traffic between your virtual network and Grafana Cloud travels the Microsoft backbone network, so exposing your service to the public internet is no longer necessary.
Subfolders
Subfolders are here at last! Some of you want subfolders in order to keep things tidier. It’s easy for dashboard sprawl to get out of control, and setting up folders in a nested hierarchy helps with that. Others of you want subfolders in order to create nested layers of permissions, where teams have access at different levels that reflect their organization’s hierarchy. We are thrilled to bring this long-awaited functionality to our community of users!
Aggregates in Grafana Cloud k6 dashboards
If you’ve wanted to visualize your Grafana Cloud k6 test results in a dashboard you’ve been limited to displaying data as a time series. But sometimes a single number is more digestible and can help you make an assessment of your test results quicker. Now you can aggregate your data not only over time, but as a single aggregated value. This is especially useful in combination with the Stat panel.
SSO Settings UI and Terraform resource for configuring OAuth providers
Configuring OAuth providers was a bit cumbersome in Grafana: Grafana Cloud users had to reach out to Grafana Support, self-hosted users had to manually edit the configuration file, set up environment variables, and then they had to restart Grafana. On Cloud, the Advanced Auth page is there to configure some of the providers, but configuring Generic OAuth hasn’t been available until now and there was no way to manage the settings through the Grafana UI, nor was there a way to manage the settings through Terraform or the Grafana API.
Centralized diagnosis and troubleshooting in AWS Observability app
It’s hard to diagnose and resolve issues when your observability data is dispersed across many systems, which can lead to longer times to troubleshoot. Grafana’s AWS Observability provides a centralized location to work with critical observability data so you can fully understand the state of your systems. You can: Configure simply and securely Access, query, alert on, and interact in one place AWS Observability allows you to: Monitor AWS EC2 services Connect and pull CloudWatch metrics Connect and send logs, including access logs
Configure metrics and logs easily in AWS Observability app
You can choose to configure manually, or use a more streamlined configuration process with CloudFormation or Terraform. To send CloudWatch metrics to Grafana Cloud, you: Connect to your AWS account. Configure the connection between Grafana Cloud and your AWS account. Continue configuration with either CloudFormation or Terraform. Choose what service to monitor, what metrics to gather, the scrape interval, and what statistics to gather. Add any custom namespaces you want to monitor.
Embedded, out-of-the-box dashboards in AWS Observability
AWS Observability provides preconfigured dashboards embedded within the app. You can easily access dashboards to monitor AWS costs and cloud services. For example, the following shows the billing dashboard.
Monitor AWS EC2 in Grafana Cloud out of the box
Grafana AWS Observability offers an out-of-the-box, embedded experience for you to efficiently explore and analyze your Amazon EC2 data. The list of EC2 instances is available from the Overview tab. In addition to sorting and filtering capabilities, you can: Choose the timeframe you want to view by using the time range selector. View the details of each instance. Switch to the Regions tab to view how instances scale by region.
Create subtables in table visualizations with Group to nested tables
You can now create subtables out of your data using the new Group to nested tables transformation. To use this feature, enable the groupToNestedTableTransformation feature toggle. Group to nested tables transformation
Data visualization quality of life improvements v10.4
We’ve made a number of small improvements to the data visualization experience in Grafana. Geomap geojson layer now supports styling You can now visualize geojson styles such as polygons, point color/size, and line strings. To learn more, refer to the documentation. Canvas elements now support snapping and aligning You can precisely place elements in a canvas with ease as elements now snap into place and align with one another. Canvas element snapping and alignment View data links inline in table visualizations
Tooltip improvements
We’ve made a number of small improvements to the way tooltips work in Grafana. To try out the new tooltips, enable the newVizTooltips feature toggle. Copy on click support You can now copy the content from within a tooltip by clicking on the text. Scrollable content You can now scroll the content of a tooltip, which allows you to view long lists. This is currently supported in the time series, candlestick, and trend visualizations.

PagerDuty enterprise data source plugin for Grafana allows you to query incidents data or visualize incidents using annotations. Plugin is currently in a preview phase. You can find more information and how to configure the plugin in the documentation. Screenshots: PagerDuty data source annotation editor Incidents annotations from PagerDuty data source on a dashboard panel
Structured Metadata for Cloud Logs
Structured metadata is a feature in Loki and Cloud Logs that allows customers to store metadata that is too high cardinality for log lines, without needing to embed that information in log lines themselves. It is a great home for metadata which is not easily embeddable in a log line, but is too high cardinality to be used effectively as a label. For more information on how to configure and query structured metadata, please view our documentation.
Centralized Alerts in Kubernetes Monitoring
You can respond to and troubleshoot alerts that are firing about your Kubernetes infrastructure and the applications running within it, without leaving the context of Grafana Kubernetes Monitoring. You can start your troubleshooting either through the home page or the Alerts page. At the Pods in trouble section on the home page, you can view the alert associated with each Pod in the list. The Alerts page displays all alerts related solely to your Kubernetes infrastructure and any applications within your infrastructure.
ClickHouse integration available for Kubernetes Monitoring
The integration for ClickHouse is available for use with Kubernetes Monitoring. Release v2.0.0
