Earlier this year, Grafana 13 laid the groundwork for making it easier and faster than ever to turn your data into actionable insights. With our latest minor release, Grafana 13.1, we're building on that foundation, expanding observability as code, bringing Grafana Assistant to more data sources, and streamlining the everyday workflows teams rely on to visualize, analyze, and act on their data. Download Grafana 13.1 Below are just some of the highlights from Grafana 13.1.

How do you choose the best ITSM tool for your team when 20 vendors all promise the same three things: native AI, ITIL alignment, and a single system to run your whole IT operation? It is the fair question we hear most from IT managers and service desk leads, and the cost of getting it wrong is high. An ITSM platform is a multi-year commitment where your team works inside every day, so a poor fit shows fast as slow tickets, manual workarounds, and a migration nobody wants to repeat.

Interface counters tell you a port is busy. Bytes in, bytes out, errors, drops. That’s enough to know a link is saturated, but not enough to know which conversations are saturating it, which devices are involved, or how a problem propagates across your network. For that you’ve traditionally needed dedicated network performance monitoring tools, usually expensive, usually a separate console from the rest of your monitoring.

Since I started using Claude Code more frequently, I kept noticing a “worktree” checkbox popping up whenever I started a session in a Git repository.

Telegraf Enterprise is now generally available. It combines Telegraf Controller, a centralized management console for Telegraf, with official support from InfluxData. Open source Telegraf remains unchanged. Telegraf Controller is free to start with built-in limits, while a Telegraf Enterprise license unlocks higher-scale limits, audit logging, LDAP/OIDC integration, and commercial support. Telegraf has become the standard for collecting telemetry across cloud, edge, and physical infrastructure.
