Managing observability workloads can quickly overwhelm even the most experienced admin. Maybe you’re dealing with multiple departments, each needing its own collector configurations and pipelines. Every time you have to run a test or roll out a change, the process is cumbersome and introduces risk. Or perhaps you’re responsible for tracking hundreds of collectors across different environments and regions. In a scenario like this, troubleshooting individual issues feels nearly impossible.

We’re thrilled to share that the open source Yet Another CloudWatch Exporter (YACE) is now a prometheus-community project! This move represents an exciting milestone in YACE’s journey and validates the project’s contribution to the Prometheus ecosystem. Yace was started in 2018 by Thomas Peitz, who has overseen the dramatic evolution of the CloudWatch metrics exporter ever since.

It’s been a year since Grafana Labs announced the general availability of Grafana Beyla, our open source OpenTelemetry and Prometheus eBPF auto-instrumentation tool to help you easily get started with application observability. As a Beyla maintainer, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on what we’ve accomplished with Grafana Beyla since then, what we have learned about supporting an eBPF tool in production, and, in general, how exciting this whole journey has been.

It’s been another big year for Grafana. In April, we unveiled Grafana 11.0 at GrafanaCon 2024, which introduced a queryless experience with Explore Metrics and custom visualizations with Canvas panels. Since then, we’ve made improvements to data sources and visualizations in our minor releases, and just last month the 11.3 release marked the general availability of Scenes-powered dashboards.

Grafana dashboards enable you to visualize and correlate data from a wide range of sources. With a centralized view of your data, you can troubleshoot faster, make better decisions, and streamline monitoring. But for those of you ramping up with Grafana, you might have a few questions about how, exactly, to create these rich dashboards featuring data from disparate sources, or even how to incorporate multiple queries from a single source into your visualization.

Over the past year, a lot of work has gone into making Prometheus work better with OpenTelemetry—a move that reflects the growing number of engineers and developers that rely on both open source projects. Historically, Prometheus users have faced a number of challenges when trying to work with OpenTelemetry (and vice versa).

As a product manager here at Grafana Labs, I’ve learned that sometimes the most powerful features can sneak by unnoticed, buried in those three little dots off to the side of the panel. But what happens when one of those hidden gems suddenly becomes the star of the show? Recently, we released a new Kubernetes Monitoring feature in Grafana Cloud—an alert system you can use to create alerts from panels in the app.

Though you might not immediately notice it the next time you log in, Grafana’s frontend has undergone a major upgrade. We recently migrated our dashboard architecture to utilize the Grafana Scenes library, enabling the creation of more stable, dynamic, and flexible Scenes-powered dashboards. Yes, the UI is pretty much the same, but under the hood, the engine responsible for visualizing the dashboards used by millions of people around the world has largely been rewritten.

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.

Grafana provides a powerful and elegant way to create, explore, and share dashboards and data with your team and the world. Grafana is most commonly used for visualizing time series data for Internet infrastructure and application analytics but many use it in other domains including industrial sensors, home automation, weather, and process control.
Grafana has a robust plugin architecture built for extensibility. Visualize data from more than 40 data sources, including commercial databases and web vendors, and add new graph panels with rich data visualization options. There is built in support for many of the most popular time series data sources. It works with Graphite, Elasticsearch, Cloudwatch, Prometheus, InfluxDB and more.
Grafana Labs is the company behind Grafana, the leading open source software for visualizing time series data. Grafana Labs helps users get the most out of Grafana, enabling them to take control of their unified monitoring and avoid vendor lock in and the spiraling costs of closed solutions.
