Grafana Labs has always been actively involved in the OpenTelemetry community, even working with the predecessor projects OpenTracing and OpenCensus. We have been supporting OTLP as the primary input protocol for our distributed tracing project, Grafana Tempo, since its inception, and our Grafana Agent embeds parts of the OpenTelemetry Collector.
The frontend of a web application is the part that users directly interact with. It’s the last mile of the digital service you deliver to your customers and it’s directly associated with customer satisfaction and business objectives. Knowing performance metrics such as CPU or memory is helpful, but at the end of the day, what you care most about is if the user experience is affected.
Grafana Agent v0.35 is here! The latest release of the Grafana Agent brings with it loads of new features and enhancements. Today, we’ll highlight our work on horizontal scalability and making it simpler than ever to get started using the Agent. Let’s take a look!
In recent months, we have been working on improving the performance of Grafana Mimir, the open source, horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant TSDB for long-term storage of your metrics.
Since Grafana started 10 years ago, there have been more than 43,000 commits to the open source project. Grafana founder Torkel Ödegaard has made more than 7,600 of those commits, and he recently reflected on some personal favorites he’s worked on, ranging from early query builders to the latest navigation updates. Torkel isn’t the only one who has strong feelings.
