Join Grafana Labs CEO/Co-founder Raj Dutt, CTO Tom Wilkie, members of the engineering team, and Omar Lopez, Head of Observability for SailPoint, for the kickoff of ObservabilityCON 2026, where they share the latest in AI for observability, observability for AI, and solutions for all.

Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) in Grafana Cloud combines frontend observability, synthetic checks, and session replays with backend telemetry to give engineering teams an end-to-end view of customer experience. In this video, Senior Developer Advocate Marie Cruz gives an overview of DEM and a deep-dive demo of how it works in Grafana Cloud.

In honor of World Space Week, we're spotlighting Jackson Sweeney's story and his role in Blue Ghost Mission 1. As a Thermal Engineer at Firefly Aerospace, he used Grafana to ensure that the spacecraft maintained the right temperature throughout the mission... and receive a Golden Grot Award for his use case. Behind every successful moonshot are people solving one hard problem after another. For engineers like Jackson, that means turning an extraordinary ambition into thousands of practical decisions.

Trace redaction permanently removes sensitive data from your traces, for when something like an API key ends up in a span attribute. Tempo 3.0 could do it, but only from a list of trace IDs, so you had to go find every affected trace first. In Tempo 3.1 you can hand it a TraceQL query instead. Separately, trace-by-ID got a filter. You normally ask for a trace and get all of it. Now you can pass a TraceQL query and get back only the spans that match.

In this Pyroscope community call, we look at what eBPF is, where it came from, and how the OpenTelemetry eBPF profiler uses it to profile supported workloads without application code changes.

There are times when you have a panel which does not show any data because there is none and it might be a good idea to hide it until it start showing. Learn how to do this in Grafana.

As we get into the full swing of prime Aurora viewing season, hear how this Golden Grot Award-winning project by Mohamed Adem uses free, public data and Grafana Assistant to explore whether an aurora will actually be visible.

The Grafana Mobile App lets you triage alerts with help from Assistant from your phone. You can declare an incident or trigger an investigation into an incident in order to get more information so that by the time you get to your desktop, everything is ready for you. Grafanistas Ignacio and Florian go through a use case deep dive, demonstrating the value of the Grafana Mobile Companion app by triggering an investigation, talk to Assistant, and have all the data you need to resolve an incident - all from your phone.

With the plan mode you can get a preview what kind of panels you want to have in your dashboard that safe a lot of tokens, efforts and computing resources when using Grafana Assistant AI.

In the September edition of the Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart office hours, we discuss the version 4.4 and 4.5 releases, the upcoming 4.6 feature release, and the next 5.0 major release.
