Note: We're happy to share that since the recording of this video, OpenTelemetry *has* graduated from the CNCF! SREs, developers, and CTOs say open source is essential to observability. Engineering managers and directors? Not so much. Grafana's 4th annual observability survey — 1,363 responses — reveals a split inside the same orgs that's worth a conversation.

Shawn Pitts demos how you can use Grafana Assistant inside Claude Code to get an analysis and code recommendation to fix an issue.

The way you write code is changing, which means the way you observe your systems and respond to issues needs to change, too. Engineers today spend much of their day working via command line, as agentic tools like Cursor and Claude Code have become highly effective at handling many day-to-day engineering tasks. This greatly accelerates code generation, but it doesn't solve for the context switching that comes when you have to jump into another tool that's not part of this new, faster workflow.

In this Community call, we'll be discussing recent K6 updates. From new secrets management feature to Grafana AI assistant integration with K6. Hosts: Bukola Ayodele, Nicole van der Hoeven Experts: Facundo Batista Vicente Ortega Torres.

In the April edition of the Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart office hours, we discuss updates to the version 4.0 release, the upcoming 4.1 feature release, and we discuss the upcoming deprecation of the 1.x and 2.0 versions.

You can now access Grafana Assistant in self-managed environments! See why the feedback has been so strong.

Here's Senior Software Engineer Vicente Ortega showcasing something he's built: the new k6 Script Authoring mode for Grafana Assistant.
