Here at Grafana, we’re constantly shipping new features to help our users get the most out of Grafana Cloud. Over the last few months, we’ve made it even easier to get started with out-of-the-box dashboards and new visualizations in Grafana Cloud. We also introduced capabilities like query caching, a “prettify JSON” option and commands for cortex-tools to make your data, dashboards, and queries more efficient.

With the increasing proliferation of connected devices, it might be assumed that deploying software to devices, providing incremental updates, application security and IoT device management at scale are all rolled into companies’ DevOps pipelines as one big happy portfolio. Sadly, this has not been the case to date. Most IoT software updates and management solutions today are operated in a complete silo from corporations’ DevOps processes.

Back in June, we announced the Public Beta for Logz.io’s New Lookz – which is a new UI that completely changes the way users navigate across Logz.io products and features. The Public Beta gave users the option to toggle between the old and new UIs to see which one they liked better. And the answer from our users was as clear as it could be.

We are excited to announce the general availability of VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 1.4.

In this post, we will focus on some of the new capabilities offered in Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 1.4 that further support our customers with their Kubernetes journey.

Grafana 8 brought with it many exciting new features, including the launch of a new alerting system and the expansion of Grafana’s live and streaming data functionality. We didn’t stop there. In Grafana 8.1, alongside new additions like the Geomap and Annotations panel, we introduced some new features to the Time series panel as well as two transformations to help make panel configuration more dynamic.

We’re thrilled to be positioned as a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for ITSM (Information Technology Service Management) Tools. That’s eight years in a row that ServiceNow® ITSM has been positioned as a leader. You might wonder if, after all these years, the shine starts to wear off. In fact, we could not be more excited about this recognition. We’re happy to note that we’re positioned highest in both vision and the ability to execute.

Last June, we released Qovery v2 - a brand new version of Qovery. Since then, we have worked on delivering the features you were waiting for AND made dozens of improvements based on your feedback. Thanks to our lovely dev community and customers.

GigaOm’s latest Radar for AIOps solutions has just been released and it makes for compelling reading for anyone trying to maximize organizational performance in our digital world. Particularly if you’re down with DevOps.

Starting today, Honeycomb Metrics is now generally available to all Enterprise customers. You’ve adopted our event-based observability practices, in part to overcome the debugging roadblocks you hit when using custom metrics to identify application issues. But metrics do still provide value at the systems level. Now, you can easily see and use your metrics data alongside your event data in Honeycomb—all in one interface.

Since the launch of uptime monitoring, we have received a lot of positive feedback. There were also a couple of much-requested additional features that we hope to address in this huge update.
