When you have a question, not a dashboard to build: the Metrics explorer and recording rule templates

Dashboards answer the questions you knew you would ask. The other kind — “is it only this server, or all of them?”, “since when?”, “what does memory look like on the ones that restarted?” — used to start with creating a dashboard, adding a widget, picking a metric, and deleting the whole thing afterwards. Bleemeo now has a page for those questions. It is called Metrics: you write a PromQL query, run it, and look at the answer.

Landing on the Moon with Grafana and Thermal Engineering | Grafana Everywhere

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.

Grafana Tempo: Redaction by query & TraceQL filtering in trace-by-ID v2 (Oct 2026 Community Call)

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.

Manage your OpenTelemetry Collectors with Fleet Management in Grafana Cloud

If you’ve built your telemetry pipelines around OpenTelemetry Collectors, you’ve already invested in a collector distribution, YAML configuration, and a deployment model that fits your infrastructure. As that deployment grows, managing it means keeping shared configuration consistent, accommodating different workloads, and understanding whether your collectors are healthy. Fleet Management in Grafana Cloud brings those tasks together in one place.

Manage synthetic checks at scale: Introducing folders in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring

As your use of Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring grows, so does the number of checks you need to manage across services, environments, and teams. Eventually, a single flat list of checks becomes difficult to navigate, and even simple questions get harder to answer: Which checks belong to the payments team? Can I disable everything in staging during a maintenance window? Who should be able to edit the checks for this service?
