Senior Developer Advocates Nicole van der Hoeven and Usman Ahmad talk about how to deploy Grafana on Kubernetes for beginners: what Kubernetes is, how it's an evolution of distributed computing, what its relationship to Docker is, other things you might need to know to work with Kubernetes, and how you can deploy Grafana on your own Kubernetes clusters.

Navigating and correlating log data is essential in maintaining system performance and security. The upgraded Loki Log Context Query Editor in Grafana 10 offers a more detailed view and analysis of log entries, allowing you to identify patterns and correlations across multiple log lines efficiently.

Learn how to use the network layer type for node graphs with geometric data. This feature is new in Grafana 10.1 and enables the ability to visualize your network on a map, which can provide additional context when monitoring the state of nodes and the connections between them.

When you’re visualizing data in time series, trend, and state timeline panels, one challenge you might have faced is when arbitrary gaps in your data end up automatically connected in your visualization. This can distort the true picture of your data, leading to potential misinterpretations. In Grafana 10.1, you can now set a specific threshold on the x-axis in your Grafana dashboards to disconnect any data points above this threshold.

Learn how to distinguish widgets from visualizations for building better dashboards with Grafana 10.1. This update will improve your dashboard creation process because if you want to integrate elements like text, news, or an annotation list, you no longer need to select a data source first. Plus, to optimize your editing experience, the plugins list and library panels are now context-aware, adjusting in real time based on whether you’re working with a widget or a visualization.

Pinpointing specific spans can be daunting, but the new span filter feature in Grafana 10.1 is here to solve that. Span filters allow you to refine the spans displayed in Grafana based on specific criteria.

Tempo offers amazing performance, but there are still cases where TraceQL queries take a long time to return results. This could be due to a multitude of reasons from the complexity of the query, amount of choices stored, or the timeframe selected. See how to navigate your query results more quickly, with query results streaming, available as an experimental feature in Grafana version 10.1.

You may have built an alert rule with Grafana Alerting and then grappled with routing, reconfiguring, and managing the different alerts your team set up. To address this challenge, we’ve implemented a series of improvements to set up and maintain alert rules in Grafana. Watch how the new alerting workflow works.

Check out four new features we added to the flame graph visualization— including custom color schemes and better navigation — that give you a dynamic and more detailed look into your continuous profiling data.

In this video, we will demonstrate how to automatically correlate performance test results with server-side tracing data in Grafana Cloud k6 to troubleshoot issues quickly and efficiently.
