Grafana 6.0 adds a new way to explore ad-hoc queries and data. You can now view both metric and log data in Grafana.

Applications are complex systems. Their many moving parts, component and dependency services may span any number of infrastructure technologies and platforms from bare metal to serverless.

Melanie Postma talks about solving problems as they occur, understanding the impact of deploys on your infrastructure, reducing MTTM/MTTR and creating an environment of continuous improvement.

The new Flux (formerly IFQL) super-charges queries both for analytics and data science. Get an overview of the language features as well as the moving parts for a working deployment. Grafana shares Flux’s passion for analytics and data science. For that reason, they are very excited to showcase the new Flux support within Grafana, and a couple of common analytics use cases to get the most out of your data.

Grafana, with its huge amount of data sources and plugins, has all the capabilities one needs to create accurate graphs. Although creating dashboards is easy, interpreting each panel is hard if it’s not correctly visualised. Misinterpretation is one of the most common causes of wrong conclusions that make us hunt ghosts during debugging sessions. There are many common pitfalls which we can avoid if we follow some rules.

Loki is a logging backend, optimized for users running Prometheus and Kubernetes. It's the latest 100% open source project from the team at Grafana Labs that's lets you search, visualize and explore your logs natively in Grafana.

Combining Jsonnet and Terraform allows you to write many dashboards in no time - in a reproducible way. And even to create basebricks for multiple dashboards and reuse them at will.

Dan Cech discusses some of the new features in Graphite.

Matthew MacFarlane discusses VictorOps and how it integrates with Grafana at GrafanaCon EU.

Significant amounts of time have been invested in performance testing and analysis of OpenStack. In this talk I share how we use Grafana and many other Open Source tools to monitor the performance of an OpenStack Cloud while benchmarking.
