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.

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.

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.

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.
