Grafana v7.0 released: New plugin architecture, visualizations, transformations, native trace support, and more

We are thrilled to announce that Grafana 7.0 has been released for general availability. Join us as Torkel Ödegaard, the creator of Grafana, hosts a full demo of 7.0 during GrafanaCONline today. With Grafana v7.0, our goal was to extend on the Grafana platform by making it easier and more consistent for existing users, and intuitive and simple for those not familiar with Grafana.

GrafanaCONline Day 2 recap: The future of worldPing and an industrial IoT use case of Grafana

GrafanaCONline is live! We hope you’re able to catch the great online sessions we have planned over the next couple of weeks. After Grafana creator Torkel Ödegaard, Grafana Labs CEO Raj Dutt, and VP of Product (and Cortex co-creator) Tom Wilkie kicked off the conference with a keynote discussing the future of Grafana and the upcoming Grafana 7.0 release, GrafanaCONline continued with a focus on Grafana’s global reach.

GrafanaCONline: Prometheus: what the future holds

It’s been nearly 2.5 years since Prometheus 2.0 released and 2 years since Prometheus graduated in the CNCF. You might say that clearly proves that Prometheus has become mainstream. However, that doesn’t mean Prometheus would be “done” now. The developer community is more active than ever. Let’s have a look at the highlights of the past year and at the things on the roadmap. The speaker is one of the Prometheus developers and would also be delighted to hear from you what you want to see next in Prometheus.

GrafanaCONline: Strava: the Venn diagram of observability

In the era of services architecture, reliability engineering, and container orchestration, the word “observability” is widely used but rarely clearly defined. What is “observability” really? Of the various observability concepts and tools, what are the distinctions and overlaps in various technologies?

GrafanaCONline: Fillet your herrings using Grafana

Datask, founded in 2019, has been using Grafana to monitor real time production results for one of the largest fishery companies in the Netherlands. This company has developed its own automatic Fillet machine, which is unique for the fishery industry. These machines will be exported to several countries in the world. We are using industrial IOT technology to monitor these machines and present performance figures to various stakeholders.

An (only slightly technical) introduction to Loki, the Prometheus-inspired open source logging system

Every application creates logs. Web servers, firewalls, services on your Kubernetes clusters, public cloud services, and more. For companies, being able to collect and analyze these logs is crucial. And the growing popularity of microservices, IoT, cybersecurity, and cloud has brought an explosion of new types of log data. That’s why log management is a huge $2-billion-plus market that’s growing 14% YoY.

Getting started with Grafana Loki on Google Kubernetes Engine - under 5 minutes.

Introducing Loki by Grafana, a new logging backend, optimized for users running Prometheus and Kubernetes. Loki is a great match with Grafana for searching, visualizing and exploring your logs natively. Loki is the latest 100% open source project from the team at Grafana Labs.

Grafana 7.0 sneak peek: Inspect drawer lets you get raw data and download as CSV

Grafana v7.0 is coming soon! Here’s another sneak peek of one of its features: the inspect drawer. The inspect drawer is a feature that every panel will support, including internal as well as external community plugins. In this new drawer, you will be able to view the raw data in a table format, apply some predefined transformations, and download as CSV. “Download as CSV” previously only existed as a custom feature for the Graph & Table panel.
