GrafanaCONline week three: Plugins, Chrome browsing data, Prometheus rate queries, and more

The third and last week of GrafanaCONline starts today! We hope you’re able to check out all of our great online sessions. If you’ve missed any sessions (or want to watch them again), the videos are available on demand here. Here’s what’s coming up today...

GrafanaCONline: Grafana plugins

With Grafana 7.0 we are graduating our packages for Plugin Developers to a beta stage. These packages (@grafana/ui, @grafana/data, @grafana/runtime and last but not least @grafana/toolkit) are aimed to simplify the developer experience for those who wish to extend the Grafana platform. In this webinar I’ll present key ideas behind these packages and the way how you can use them to build for the Grafana Platform and create consistent experiences for the audience of your plugins.

GrafanaCONline Day 7 recap: The past, present and future of Loki, and making dashboards that tell stories

GrafanaCONline is live! We hope you’re able to check out all of our great online sessions. If you aren’t up-to-date on the presentations, here’s what you missed on day 7 of the conference.

New in Grafana 7.0: Trace viewer and integrations with Jaeger and Zipkin

Moving to a scalable, distributed microservice architecture poses a great deal of challenges for any organization. It gets harder to understand the system and pinpoint where errors originate. Logs get much messier, and stitching together a coherent picture of a particular request can be time-consuming or downright impossible. Distributed tracing can help with all of that.

GrafanaCONline Day 6 recap: The power of Tanka, and a peek into the world of beehive monitoring with Grafana dashboards

GrafanaCONline is live! We hope you’re able to catch the great online sessions we have planned. If you aren’t up-to-date on the presentations, here’s what you missed on day 6 of the conference.

Cortex v1.1 released with improved reliability and performance

Today we’re releasing Cortex 1.1, the first (minor) release since Cortex went GA in March, over 6 weeks ago. This release represents more than 140 commits by over 30 different authors from 9 different companies. In this post we’re going to give you some of the highlights of this release.

GrafanaCONline: Chrome browsing data to Grafana - as you browse

This session covers using variables to combine weather records and forecasts to measure a beehive – and how this can help beekeepers. We’ll also show how to compare particulate-matter (PM) measurements of nearby stations from different networks and develop a humidity-correction for low-cost PM sensors within a Grafana dashboard.

GrafanaCONline: Loki future

It has been two years since Tom Wilkie and David Kaltschmidt created the design doc that kickstarted the Loki project. In this presentation we will go back in time and talk about the original design for Loki and then compare/contrast that with where the project is today. We will then spend some time talking about the future plans for Loki, what some long term goals and non-goals are, what features we would like to add, and highlight the active discussion and plans for the LogQL query language. Finally, we will close by talking about the difficult and often controversial topic of monetizing open source projects – confirming our commitment to Loki open source while explaining our Hosted Loki and Loki Enterprise.
