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.

A New Scale Tier for Time Series on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB

When we first announced the availability of InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB last year, we set a new standard for managed time series on AWS. We gave developers a simple way to harness high performance at scale while removing the burden of infrastructure management. But as our customers have taught us, “at scale” is a moving target. Across Industrial IoT, physical AI, and real-time observability, data is growing in both volume and resolution.

Top infrastructure monitoring mistakes (and how to avoid them)

Infrastructure monitoring is meant to simplify operations, not overwhelm teams with noise. Yet the average IT team receives more than 10,000 alerts every day. Despite this constant stream of notifications, critical issues still slip through the cracks. This volume of fragmented data creates a dangerous visibility gap across the infrastructure. As a result, teams can spend more time sorting through alerts than actually resolving issues.

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?
