The Worldmap panel in Grafana is an existing feature in OSS that has been widely used, but it has some limits that weren’t easily fixed. Now with the release of Grafana v8.1 , we have introduced an upgrade to the Worldmap panel with the new Geomap panel visualization that allows you to view and customize a world map using geospatial data, all while sharing the same infrastructure with our core UI.
A typical IoT application with any physical system or process in the field can have hundreds of on-site sensors generating copious amounts of data every second and possibly communicating in several different protocols.
Within the world of robotics and automation one of the most recurring needs is that of capturing and visualizing real-time data from hardware components such as sensors and actuators, which provide insights into how a system is behaving overall and helps diagnose any potential issues that might arise overtime.
At Seniorlink, we provide services and technology to support families caring for their loved ones at home. In the past two years we’ve expanded our programs across the United States, and so our need to observe our application systems has grown too.
The power of community makes Grafana one of the most composable platforms for monitoring and observability across a wide variety of use cases. The Grafana Plugin Directory features not just plugins created by our team here at Grafana Labs, but by Grafana community members all over the world. It’s the best place to browse for new data source integrations, panels, and applications you can install on your dashboard to extend Grafana’s functionality.
Writing LogQL queries to access Loki’s log data just got easier, thanks to the new pattern parser released with Loki 2.3. It makes writing queries for unstructured log formats simple. And the pattern parser can be an order of magnitude faster than the regular expression parser. Let’s take a closer look.
Excellent new features have arrived in Loki v2.3.0. Bug fixes too. And performance increases on top of that. While we have been quiet, we have been very busy!
