What's new from Grafana Labs

For better security, Google advises using Service Account Tokens with Service Account Impersonation. If a Service Account Token is ever compromised, it can’t be used to access Google Cloud APIs without the associated service account for impersonation, making it much harder for unauthorized access. This added security layer is now supported in the BigQuery data source configuration.

Grafana server administrators can now define custom time range presets for the time picker on dashboards — perfect for teams that routinely analyze specific, context-driven time windows.

Previously, Grafana automatically abbreviated large currency values like $1,235,667 to $1.24M or $555,558 into $555.6K. While this works well for most visualizations, financial data often requires exact values to be displayed.

Introducing LogicMonitor data source plugin.

The LogicMonitor Devices data source plugin enables you to query and visualize Device Instance Data, and to list Devices, Datasources, and Instances directly within Grafana. Available in public preview in Grafana Cloud and all supported versions of self-managed Grafana Enterprise.

We’re excited to announce the public preview release of new alerting capabilities for Synthetic Monitoring. These new capabilities are available to all Grafana Cloud users.

The pipeline history feature in Fleet Management now offers you the chance to restore versions of existing configuration pipelines. From the History details page, choose a version and click Restore.

Pipelines in Grafana Fleet Management can now leverage the Alloy export block to share their components with other pipelines. With pipeline export injection, you can export components from one configuration pipeline and inject them into another using the syntax argument.pipeline_exports.value["PIPELINE_NAME"]["EXPORT_NAME"]. This powerful feature enables you to create dynamic configurations that adapt to each pipeline’s exported values, allowing for flexible and reusable pipeline configurations.

Sort and filter logs with ease in the Logs and Events tables. You can use multiple filters, including:

• Time period
• Component
• Cloud region
• Error level

Find any non-standard workloads using filters on the Workloads main page. Filtering includes:

The memory tab and panels are accessible on any detail page beyond the container level. Now you can view memory usage in correlation with relevant data points, as shown in the screen capture of a namespace.

We recently added support for importing data source-managed rules through the alerting UI. However, users couldn’t import their existing Prometheus rules when no ruler was available.

With early detection patterns, Adaptive Logs now shows log patterns without waiting to see how often they are queried. This feature allows you to proactively detect and filter out wasteful logs, ensuring only the most valuable telemetry is ever shipped to Grafana Cloud.

We’ve updated the main navigation in Grafana Cloud to bring all observability tools together under a single menu called Observability. You’ll now find App Observability, Frontend Observability, Kubernetes Monitoring, Infrastructure Monitoring, Cloud Provider Observability, and more grouped in one place.

We’re excited to introduce SLO Reports—a powerful new feature in Grafana SLO that enables users to report on multiple service level objectives (SLOs) on a weekly or monthly basis.

You can now sync Grafana IRM’s phone numbers to your mobile contacts. This helps you recognize IRM calls and allows you to bypass Do Not Disturb (DnD) for urgent alerts.

Kubernetes Monitoring offers CPU tabs with insightful panels on every detail page beyond the container page to provide you with quicker troubleshooting and better resource planning. You can gain deeper visibility from cluster to pod with utilization efficiency graphs and CPU distribution analysis.
