One of our most requested Loki tutorials is here! Deploying the Loki Helm on AWS . In this video, we’ll walk you through the entire process of deploying the Loki Helm on AWS; from creating a Kubernetes cluster to configuring essential AWS resources to learning best practices when creating your Helm values file. If you are struggling with your first production deployment this should get you up and running so you can store your logs.

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 Grafana Office Hours, Ishan Jain talks about AI Observability with Grafana: what it entails, factors to consider when monitoring and observing LLMs, and how to do it all with Grafana. He is joined by Senior Developer Advocate Nicole van der Hoeven. LINKS.

Murugesan and Ahmadali from Booking.com's Observability Team as they dive into the journey of modernizing observability. Discover how they transformed fragmented systems into a centralized, scalable platform using OpenTelemetry and Grafana solutions. They share insights on their three-year strategy, the importance of unified metrics and logs, and overcoming challenges, from technology transitions to fostering teamwork.

In this video, Grafana Developer Advocate Leandro Melendez describes how Canvas panels combine the power of Grafana with the flexibility of custom elements. They are extensible visualizations that allow you to add and arrange elements wherever you want within unstructured static and dynamic layouts. This lets you design custom visualizations and overlay data in ways that aren’t possible with standard Grafana visualizations, all within the Grafana UI.

Learn about the anatomy of a Grafana plugin in this video where we'll dive deep into the various frontend and backend components involved when creating your own plugin. We'll look at the individual components for each plugin type, as well as explain how the plugin project files are organised, so that you're fully equipped to make your own awesome plugins.

This talk dives into making observability more accessible with Grafana’s Explore apps suite. This new experience, which includes eliminates the need to write queries as you visualize and explore your data. Explore Metrics and Explore Logs (both GA), simplify navigating Prometheus and Loki data with an intuitive UI, eliminating the need to write queries in PromQL or LogQL. They come with improvements like better related metrics recommendations, OpenTelemetry logging support, and enhanced pattern detection.

Correlations is a feature that allows Grafana users to set up links between their data sources. Previously, the link generated would only be from one query to another—meaning results from a query could only generate links to open a second Explore pane with other query results. With this feature, users can now link to third party web-based software based on their search results. The format follows the standard Grafana format for using variables. This is generally available in all editions of Grafana.

Welcome to Grafana 11.3! Scenes-powered dashboards are now generally available and the Explore Logs plugin is now installed by default. The dashboard experience has also improved in other ways including the ability to trigger API calls from any canvas element with the new Actions option and an update to transformations so you can apply calculations to dynamic fields. We’ve also simplified the alert setup experience, added customizable announcement banners that admins can send to all users, and improved some default permissions.

In this demo video, Virginia Cepeda, senior software engineer at Grafana Labs, walks through the k6 browser checks feature in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring.
