Bridge the DevSec divide: Using Grafana Cloud and Miggo for runtime protection

Note: This blog post is co-authored by Daniel Shechter, CEO and co-founder of Miggo Security. Modern runtime security is critical to understand complex systems and detect and protect against attacks, especially in rapidly evolving cloud native architectures. For many security teams, however, achieving deep visibility into runtime risks remains a moving target.

Quickly go from exploration to action with new one-click integrations in Grafana Drilldown

The Grafana Drilldown apps gives you a queryless, point-and-click way to explore your metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. But finding an insight is only half the job—you still need to act on it. Previously, that meant leaving Drilldown, manually copying queries, and navigating through Grafana's dashboards, Alerting, and "Explore" interfaces to pick up where you left off.

From signals to savings: Optimizing cloud costs with Grafana Assistant and MCP servers

In today's cloud-native environments, managing resource waste and optimizing costs can feel like a constant battle. Operators, along with their fearless FinOps teams, spend countless hours hunting down unused resources, deciphering complex telemetry data, and manually implementing code or configuration changes to try to reduce cloud costs. But what if you could automate the entire process, from identifying waste to implementing the fix, all based on actual production telemetry?

Native OpenTelemetry inside Alloy: Now you can get the best of both worlds

We're big proponents of OpenTelemetery, which has quickly become a new unified standard for delivering metrics, logs, traces, and even profiles. It's an essential component of Alloy, our popular telemetry agent, but we're also aware that some users would prefer to have a more "vanilla" OpenTelemetry experience.

Observability for Azure Virtual Desktop with SquaredUp

Managing Azure Virtual Desktop doesn’t have to mean jumping between portal blades, logs, and metrics trying to piece together what’s happening. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to design and implement a single, operational observability dashboard for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) using SquaredUp Cloud — transforming fragmented telemetry into clear, actionable insight. Whether you're responsible for performance, user experience, or operational stability, this session will give you a structured, repeatable framework for monitoring your AVD estate with confidence.

SquaredUp vs Grafana: The Enterprise IT dashboard showdown

Modern enterprises operate across an increasingly complex mix of hybrid cloud services, and productivity platforms. As environments scale, stakeholders need a single pane of glass (SPoG) to understand what’s happening across IT operations without jumping across dozens of disconnected tools.

Generating metrics from traces with cardinality control: A closer look at HyperLogLog in Tempo

While tracing is a critical component of any observability strategy, metrics — especially RED metrics (request rate, error rate, and duration) — are widely considered the gold standard for monitoring service health. Tempo, the open source, easy-to-use, and highly scalable distributed tracing backend, is well known in the OSS community for storing and querying traces. It can also, however, generate RED metrics directly from those traces using the optional metrics-generator component.
