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.

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.

Grafana's Knowledge Graph builds a contextual layer on top of your telemetry data, automatically extracting entities and relationships so you can see how your services actually connect. In this deep dive, Jia show how it powers root-cause investigation both in the Grafana UI and through agentic workflows using gcx and Claude Code.

In this episode of the Grafana OTel Community Call, we're joined by Sonal Gaud, code owner of otelhttp on opentelemetry-go-contrib. We'll trace her path from writing test-coverage PRs to owning the instrumentation library that most Go services use to get HTTP traces and metrics for free — and go deep on how otelhttp actually works under the hood: context propagation, metrics/attributes via the Labeler, route cardinality, and how the library evolves alongside HTTP semantic conventions.

Join us for a follow-up Grafana Campfire to explore what we’ve built in Git Sync since December 2025. We’ll cover new and improved Git provider integrations and authentication options, smoother dashboard editing and pull request workflows, and more control over changes through signed commits, user attribution, and PR and commit conventions. We’ll also explore improvements to folder organization and permissions, READMEs alongside your dashboards, and clearer synchronization status.

The open source server connects any AI assistant to everything in your Grafana - dashboards, metrics, logs, alerts, on-call, incidents - and it can make changes for you, not just look things up. Grafana Cloud takes minutes, and you stay in control - choose exactly what the AI can see and do, including a view-only mode.

Profiles + Traces and span redaction Can't comment in the chat? You may need to create a channel. Join us live for an introduction to flame graphs. We’ll cover what they are, how to read them, and how to use them to find performance bottlenecks in your applications. Bring your questions! Grafana Cloud is the easiest way to get started with Grafana dashboards, metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. Our forever-free tier includes access to 10k metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces and more.

Learn how to use the auto-grid option, a flexible panel layout that adapts to varying screen sizes and dynamic content. Creators can now define the max number of columns or max height of panels, making dashboard layouts more responsive and maintainable.

With Grafana Assistant you can easily ask to investigate and dashboard panels or even ask to fix a specific panel as well. This video explains how this can be done easily that takes minutes and now just a few seconds.

Observability looks perfect in a slide deck – in practice, it's messier. In this panel, engineering leaders from Cyara, PlayHQ, and National Australia Bank share what really happened when they scaled observability: unexpected cloud bills, alert fatigue, a weekend database outage caught by an AI-assisted triage agent, and a vendor dispute settled by a single chart. They also cover moving beyond legacy tooling, using AI to close the PromQL skills gap, and what's next – from agentic SDLC integration to continuous profiling. Real stories, real numbers, real lessons.
