In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to get Prometheus and Node Exporter running locally on an ARM64 Mac (like the M3 MacBook Pro), and how to connect it all to Grafana Cloud for beautiful dashboards and metric insights.

Do you have data formats you want to visualize in Grafana that are not supported natively? Or maybe you want to quickly prototype a dashboard and grab data from various endpoints such as REST APIs, CSV, JSON, or GraphQL? If you answered yes, then this video is for you! In this video, Developer Advocate Marie Cruz provides an overview of the Grafana Infinity Data Source Plugin and talks about the value and benefits it can bring.

Myrle Krantz, Director of Engineering at Grafana Labs, talks about vendor lock-in, OpenTelemetry vs. Prometheus, open source adoption, and other tooling findings from Grafana Labs’ third annual Observability Survey — featuring insights from over 1,200 practitioners across the globe.

In this video we'll look at constant variables. Constant variables let you add a value to a dashboard that can be changed by an editor or administrator, but not edited by viewers of the dashboard. Grafana Cloud is the easiest way to get started with Grafana dashboards, metrics, logs, and traces. Our forever-free tier includes access to 10k metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces and more. We also have plans for every use case.

Grafana Cloud’s Incident Response and Management solution provides workflows that span creating alerts and SLOs, managing on-call and incident response, and learning from postmortems – all within the context of your observability stack. In this session, you’ll learn best practices for making the most of this IRM solution, including leveraging the historical incident data that’s accessible within Grafana Cloud.

Want to set up geolocation insights in Grafana Cloud's Frontend Observability? In this step-by-step tutorial, we'll show you how to configure geolocation tracking, use MaxMind's offline database for geocoding, and apply filters for precise location-based insights.

Custom variables let you define your own options for dashboard viewers to select. They're a way to fine-tune how your dashboard behaves. In this video we'll look at how to use custom variables in your own dashboards. Grafana Cloud is the easiest way to get started with Grafana dashboards, metrics, logs, and traces. Our forever-free tier includes access to 10k metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces and more. We also have plans for every use case.

In this video, CTO Tom Wilkie from Grafana Labs breaks down some of the most compelling findings from our third annual Observability Survey, based on over 1,200 industry responses. The big takeaway? Executive involvement is on the rise—and it’s accelerating adoption of advanced observability practices like distributed tracing, profiling, and SLOs. He also explores how SaaS adoption, the maturation of central observability teams, and new instrumentation methods like eBPF and Beyla are reshaping the observability landscape.
