OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (Grafana OTel Community Call #9)

In this episode of the Grafana OTel Community Call, we're exploring OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI). OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) offers a powerful way to instrument applications at the system kernel level, capturing essential “RED metrics” — request rate, error rate, and duration — and network flows without requiring code changes, rebuilds, or redeployments. We will cover the project's architecture, discuss its origins as Grafana Beyla, and look ahead to the roadmap for language and runtime coverage.

How to monitor your Supabase projects: connect Grafana Cloud in one click

As AI agents accelerate software development and spin up applications at scale, visibility into what's happening behind the scenes, including query performance and database health, has never been more important. Gaining that level of insight requires observability that can keep pace.

A new allowlists design for Grafana Cloud IP addresses: What you need to know

If your network restricts inbound or outbound traffic, you likely maintain an allowlist of Grafana Cloud IP addresses so your systems and Grafana Cloud can talk to each other. Today we're introducing a new allowlists design: a single, structured API that replaces the collection of per-product lists we've published until now. If you don't use IP allowlisting—or you connect to Grafana Cloud over private connectivity such as AWS PrivateLink—nothing changes for you, and no action is needed.

Power BI vs. SquaredUp: Which is right for IT teams?

At first glance, Power BI and SquaredUp both look like dashboarding tools. In practice, they solve different problems. SquaredUp serves engineering teams and IT teams, including SREs, DevOps engineers, engineering managers, and technology leaders. It connects to monitoring, cloud, DevOps, and ITSM platforms. This gives teams a real-time insights into service health, performance, and key metrics in one place. Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence platform, designed for analysts and business teams.

Cost attribution in Grafana Cloud: Manage spend across observability and testing workflows

Knowing what you're spending on observability is useful. Knowing which team, service, or project is driving that spend is what actually lets you act on that information. Cost attribution is a core part of how Grafana Cloud approaches cost management and optimization.

Build a Docker Monitoring Dashboard in Minutes with Claude MCP + Uptrace

In this video, we use Claude MCP to create and merge Docker container dashboards in Uptrace — directly from the terminal, no manual clicking required. What you'll see: CPU, memory, network, and disk I/O dashboards created with plain text prompts Two dashboards merged into one unified view Dashboard exported as YAML for version control.

Beyond performance monitoring: Understand the user experience with Grafana Cloud Frontend Observability

You've optimized your Largest Contentful Paint. Your Time to First Byte is under 200ms. Your Lighthouse scores are green. And yet, your checkout conversion rate is quietly dropping. A segment of users in Southeast Asia is churning. Your support team is fielding tickets about a form that "just doesn't work" and you have no idea which one. Traditional frontend performance monitoring tells you whether your application is fast. It doesn't tell you whether people are actually succeeding when using it.

How to use Grafana Assistant with the AWS CloudWatch data source

Grafana Assistant meets AWS CloudWatch! In this video, Staff Software Engineer Ivana Huckova shows how to use Grafana Assistant, the AI agent built into Grafana Cloud, with the Amazon CloudWatch data source. Watch her query CloudWatch metrics and logs in plain language, build dashboards in seconds, and troubleshoot AWS resources — no query syntax required.

Getting started with Huntress dashboards

If you run Huntress across a fleet of client environments, you already know the console gives you a solid view of agent health, threat detections and incident reports. What it doesn't give you is a way to put that data next to everything else you're tracking, your PSA tickets, your other security tools, the rest of your stack, so you can see the whole client picture in one place.
