Friday, the last day of AI Week, is all about collaboration. Here's what we're announcing today! Check out grafana.ai for more details on everything we announce this week.

Senior Developer Advocate Nicole van der Hoeven explains how we're thinking about observability and AI at Grafana Labs. She talks about how you can use AI with observability across the entire SDLC and the different tools you can use for both AI for observability and observability for AI.

Grafana AI Observability is our new database and platform for observing AI Agents. Over the past year at Grafana Labs, we built Agents and we needed a way to understand how they are performing, what are the costs associated with them, what's the error rate or time to the first token as well as how they are behaving. Grafana Staff Engineer, Ivana Hučková provides a deep dive demo on how Grafana AI Observability connects our experience building Agents with our experience building observability systems.

Senior Software Engineer William Dumont demonstrates how we test Assistant Investigations by pitting two versions of the same agent against each other to correctly identify and remediate a production incident we've already resolved.

Thursday is about testing and evaluation. Here's what we're announcing today! Check out grafana.ai for more details on everything we announce this week.

In this video, our Senior Director for AI Engineering, Mat Ryer, issues a challenge: Can k6 agentic testing in Grafana Cloud be instructed at a high level to just beat Wordle? Staff Software Engineer Joan López de la Franca Beltran sets up that scenario using agentic testing (currently experimental), yielding some surprising results.

Staff Software Engineer Alexander Sniffin demonstrates how you can use Assistant Investigations to automatically start an investigation for you when an alert fires in Grafana. When you receive an alert, Investigations can do the work to figure out the root cause so that you don't have to spend your time doing so. Assistant Investigations is now generally available for Grafana Cloud.

Wednesday is about operations and maintenance. Here's what we're announcing today! Check out grafana.ai for more details on everything we announce this week.

Tuesday is about Building and implementation. Here's what we're announcing today! Check out grafana.ai for more details on everything we announce this week.

Your AI agents are only as good as the context it has. Without access to what's happening in production, it can only make educated guesses. Chapters: In this video, you'll meet GCX. The bridge between AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and your Grafana observability stack. You will learn how GCX securely gives AI agents access to metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and other production telemetry so they can investigate issues, answer questions, and help you debug with real operational context.

AI Week has begun! Check out grafana.ai for more details on what we've announced and what else is coming out today.

Introducing Assistant Workspace, a full-page surface for Grafana Assistant, built for the conversations that outgrow a sidebar. Dig into longer investigations, compare data side by side, and keep your train of thought in one place — then turn what you find into a dashboard without starting over. When a quick question becomes a real investigation, open it in Workspace and keep going. In this video, Ed Poole gives us a demo of how to use Workspace, including the use of canvases to see more information than before.

In this episode of the Grafana OTel Community Call, we're exploring OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI). OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) offers a powerful way to instrument applications at the system kernel level, capturing essential “RED metrics” — request rate, error rate, and duration — and network flows without requiring code changes, rebuilds, or redeployments. We will cover the project's architecture, discuss its origins as Grafana Beyla, and look ahead to the roadmap for language and runtime coverage.

A brief introduction to Scheduled Sharing in SquaredUp.

In this video, we use Claude MCP to create and merge Docker container dashboards in Uptrace — directly from the terminal, no manual clicking required. What you'll see: CPU, memory, network, and disk I/O dashboards created with plain text prompts Two dashboards merged into one unified view Dashboard exported as YAML for version control.

Grafana Assistant meets AWS CloudWatch! In this video, Staff Software Engineer Ivana Huckova shows how to use Grafana Assistant, the AI agent built into Grafana Cloud, with the Amazon CloudWatch data source. Watch her query CloudWatch metrics and logs in plain language, build dashboards in seconds, and troubleshoot AWS resources — no query syntax required.

SquaredUp and Halo teamed up for a live webinar exploring why visibility matters, the reporting challenges many organisations face, and how HaloPSA data can be transformed into engaging dashboards using SquaredUp. We also heard from a customer on how they're using dashboards to manage costs and improve service delivery. Whether your goal is sharper reporting, greater visibility for customers, or a clearer demonstration of the value your services deliver, this session offers practical insights and real-world examples to help you get there.

In this episode of Grafana's Big Tent, hosts Mat Ryer (Senior Director of AI, Grafana Labs) and Tom Wilkie (CTO, Grafana Labs) sit down with Eric Burns, Field Executive Architect at Anthropic, to talk about building trust between tech and business execs, why Anthropic bet early on running across every major cloud, and what it was like watching large language models go from "interesting" to "obviously the future" in real time.
