Making logs work smarter: Evolving your observability strategy

Oct 20, 2025 By Matt Wimpelberg In Grafana
When you start building an observability stack, it’s natural to reach for logs first. They’re familiar, easy to generate, and often already part of a developer’s workflow. And sending logs to a centralized system feels like a quick win, too. Simply add a log shipper, and voila, your application is observable.

Show me the (meeting) money: How to monitor the real-time costs of a meeting in Grafana

Oct 17, 2025 By David Allen In Grafana
This meeting could’ve been an email. It’s a phrase most of us have said (or at least thought) at some point in our careers. For me, that realization hit years ago while working for a government organization. I’d frequently sit through long, agendaless meetings that seemingly went nowhere. I wasn’t sure why I was there. And because I’m an engineer at heart, I started to wonder: what were these meetings actually costing the organization?

From pillars to rings: How interconnected observability in Grafana Cloud optimizes performance and reduces telemetry waste

Oct 16, 2025 By Vasil Kaftandzhiev In Grafana
In observability, we’ve traditionally been taught to think in terms of pillars, namely logs, metrics, and traces (and more recently, profiles). But pillars are rigid and disconnected. They don’t reflect how modern systems actually work or how we troubleshoot in real time. So let’s change that.

Managing observability costs at scale: A look at the latest cost management features in Grafana Cloud

Oct 14, 2025 By Kristin Knapp In Grafana
The benefits of observability are clear: deep visibility into system health, faster troubleshooting, and improved reliability (to name a few). But what’s equally clear is that, as organizations scale and evolve their observability strategies, they need a way to tap into these benefits without runaway costs. According to Grafana Labs’ 2025 Observability Survey, 74% of respondents say cost is a top priority for selecting tools.

A serverless approach to CI/CD observability with GitLab and Grafana

Oct 10, 2025 By Daniel Fitzgerald In Grafana
In today’s fast-paced development environment, it’s critical that you understand what’s happening in your CI/CD pipeline. And yet, many teams struggle with fragmented tooling that makes it difficult to get a holistic view of their dev lifecycle. For example, if you’re using GitLab for CI/CD and Grafana for observability, you’ve probably faced this challenge: how do you bring your GitLab events into your existing observability and alerting infrastructure?

Maximize data value and cut costs: Adaptive Telemetry for metrics, logs, traces, and profiles in Grafana Cloud

Oct 8, 2025 By Steven Dungan In Grafana
When it comes to observability, more data doesn’t always mean more clarity. In fact, as telemetry volumes grow, it only becomes more difficult to discern the signals from the noise and to keep overall costs in check. This is exactly why we built Adaptive Telemetry, a suite of features in Grafana Cloud that analyzes how your telemetry is used and then automatically recommends actions like aggregating, sampling, dropping, or reducing low-value data.

AI-powered observability: Resolve incidents faster, reduce alert fatigue, and expand access

Oct 8, 2025 By Ben Sully In Grafana
When an incident lands in your lap, you’ll often start with a lot of questions: Why is latency so high? What’s causing this outage? How much money are we losing at this very moment? The uncertainty—and the pressure to quickly find answers—has always been one of the more nerve wracking parts of being an on-call engineer, but it doesn’t have to be that way any more.
