Agent Observability Deep Dive Demo | Grafana Cloud

Grafana AI Observability is our new database and platform for observing AI Agents. Over the past year at Grafana Labs, we built Agents and we needed a way to understand how they are performing, what are the costs associated with them, what's the error rate or time to the first token as well as how they are behaving. Grafana Staff Engineer, Ivana Hučková provides a deep dive demo on how Grafana AI Observability connects our experience building Agents with our experience building observability systems.

The best ways to visualize API responses in 2026

APIs power almost everything we use today, from cloud platforms and monitoring tools to ticketing systems and internal applications. But no matter how useful an API is, the response usually arrives as raw JSON. That's perfectly fine for machines, but much less convenient for people. Whether you're debugging an endpoint, exploring a new service, or building dashboards for your team, you'll probably want a better way to visualize that data. Fortunately, there are several ways to visualize API responses.

Dashboards aren't (quite) dead

Historically, non-technical stakeholders would’ve had most of their data questions answered either through pre-built dashboards or by asking their Data team (or equivalent). Self-serve analytics tools went a step further by offering safe, governed datasets built by Data teams which let non-technical users dig into data without having to worry about how it joins together, how metrics like “revenue” are defined, and so on.

Run tests using natural language with k6 Agentic Testing

In this video, our Senior Director for AI Engineering, Mat Ryer, issues a challenge: Can k6 agentic testing in Grafana Cloud be instructed at a high level to just beat Wordle? Staff Software Engineer Joan López de la Franca Beltran sets up that scenario using agentic testing (currently experimental), yielding some surprising results.

Automatically starting investigations from an alert with Assistant Investigations

Staff Software Engineer Alexander Sniffin demonstrates how you can use Assistant Investigations to automatically start an investigation for you when an alert fires in Grafana. When you receive an alert, Investigations can do the work to figure out the root cause so that you don't have to spend your time doing so. Assistant Investigations is now generally available for Grafana Cloud.
