Profiles + Traces and span redaction Can't comment in the chat? You may need to create a channel. Join us live for an introduction to flame graphs. We’ll cover what they are, how to read them, and how to use them to find performance bottlenecks in your applications. Bring your questions! Grafana Cloud is the easiest way to get started with Grafana dashboards, metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. Our forever-free tier includes access to 10k metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces and more.

Learn how to use the auto-grid option, a flexible panel layout that adapts to varying screen sizes and dynamic content. Creators can now define the max number of columns or max height of panels, making dashboard layouts more responsive and maintainable.

With Grafana Assistant you can easily ask to investigate and dashboard panels or even ask to fix a specific panel as well. This video explains how this can be done easily that takes minutes and now just a few seconds.

Observability looks perfect in a slide deck – in practice, it's messier. In this panel, engineering leaders from Cyara, PlayHQ, and National Australia Bank share what really happened when they scaled observability: unexpected cloud bills, alert fatigue, a weekend database outage caught by an AI-assisted triage agent, and a vendor dispute settled by a single chart. They also cover moving beyond legacy tooling, using AI to close the PromQL skills gap, and what's next – from agentic SDLC integration to continuous profiling. Real stories, real numbers, real lessons.

Many times, it feels like you're maintaining multiple versions of the same dashboard (with a slight modification), *OR* simply spending more time writing queries rather than actually looking at the actual data? In this Campfire community call, we're taking a deep dive into two things that are reshaping how Grafana dashboards get built: Dynamic Dashboards and the Grafana AI Assistant and showing you how to combine them to go from a blank canvas to a reusable, production-ready dashboard in minutes.

When should you use gcx? If Grafana Assistant is the brain and Grafana MCP is the easy hand, gcx is the power hand. Built for AI agents working in the terminal, gcx gives them deep access across Grafana Cloud—so they can pull telemetry, verify code, automate workflows, and access places MCP doesn’t. Coding agents? gcx. Need the full Grafana Cloud surface? gcx. Automating in CI/CD? gcx. Here’s where it fits, and when to use it — explained by Nicole van der Hoeven.
