Grafana 13 TL;DR - What's New (and Worth Your Time)

Apr 21, 2026

Grafana 13 is here! In this video, we walk through the biggest updates and improvements, from faster ways to build dashboards to new features that make Grafana easier to manage at scale.

We cover things like:

  • Suggested dashboards tailored to your data
  • Grafana Assistant for faster troubleshooting and dashboard creation
  • Dynamic Dashboards and the new layout system
  • Git Sync, Grafana Advisor, and improvements to operating Grafana
  • Better support for plugins, SQL, and connectivity options

If you’ve ever struggled with broken dashboards, messy layouts, or just getting started from scratch, this release focuses on making those workflows a lot smoother.

This is a TL;DR, so we’re just scratching the surface—but it should give you a solid sense of what’s new and what’s worth checking out.
