Knowledge Graph as context for LLMs: demonstrating decisive RCA and faster production performance

Aug 19, 2026 By Sarah Constant In Grafana
On the product team here at Grafana Labs, we consider AI agents our users, too. That’s why we set out to test how well agents can debug incidents across the full stack, and how much better they perform with Grafana Cloud’s Knowledge Graph vs. using raw telemetry alone. Our early results are promising. In one real incident we replayed 16 times each way, an agent with Knowledge Graph context found the correct root cause 15 times, compared with just once using raw telemetry alone.

From failed check to real user impact: Pairing Synthetic Monitoring and Frontend Observability in Grafana Cloud

Aug 19, 2026 By Mark Meier In Grafana
Say you get a support escalation about a page in the app that won’t load. But when you pull up your synthetic checks, they're all green: 100% uptime, probes are passing. Something's not adding up, but which one do you trust? If you’ve run Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring, you’ve been on both sides of this. Sometimes it's the ticket: real users hit a wall on the path but your checks pass cleanly. Other times, it’s the inverse.

When to Use Grafana Assistant vs. MCP vs. GCX: Part 2

Aug 19, 2026 By Grafana In Grafana
When should you reach for Grafana MCP? It’s one of the two “hands” in Grafana’s AI toolkit — and the easy one at that. MCP lets you bring Grafana into the tools you already use, like ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor, without changing your workflow. No terminal? MCP. Want to stick with your favorite AI tool? MCP. Want easy tool discovery out of the box? MCP. Here’s where it fits, and when to use it — explained by Nicole van der Hoeven.

Introducing the AI toolkit - build a SquaredUp plugin from a single prompt

Aug 18, 2026 By Blog In Squared Up
When we introduced the Low Code Plugin (LCP) framework in February, the premise was simple: if a system has an API, you should be able to build a plugin for it — quickly, with minimal code, and in a way you can share with the community. The "AI-ready" part was deliberate. The framework was designed to work naturally with AI assistants, so the path from idea to working integration would be as short as possible. That design decision is now paying off.

The finance dashboard I actually use, built from CloudZero and Campfire in an afternoon

Aug 17, 2026 By Emily Allen In CloudZero
Every finance person I know lives in the same loop approaching the end of the month, quarter, or fiscal year. Leadership wants to know where the financials will land (most times before the close has occurred). CS wants customer margins. Someone on the People team needs each department’s AI spend for an OKR review, and they need it quickly to make business decisions. Each answer sits in a different tool or a different spreadsheet, and I bounce across all of them several times a day.
