Grafana 12.2 makes alert creation simpler by integrating the Metrics Drilldown app with the Alert Rule Query Editor. Instead of writing PromQL from scratch, you can now use a queryless workflow: explore metrics, add labels, and generate queries directly from Drilldown. This helps teams move faster and makes alerting more accessible for those new to PromQL.

In this talk, we’ll introduce the Kafka Data Source plugin we developed for Grafana, which enables users to query and visualise Kafka topic data directly in their dashboards—without the need for intermediate storage or external services. We'll share how the idea came about, how we collaborated with the Grafana community and developers to bring it to life, and the challenges we faced along the way. We'll also discuss our vision for the plugin’s future and its role in the evolving observability landscape.
