When there’s an incident, Grafana is often the starting point for figuring out a response. Users look at a time series panel and form a hypothesis. And in many situations, they’d like to dive deeper. To help make that easier, Grafana Labs has created the Explore UI, which allows you to iterate quickly through Prometheus queries, while leaving your dashboards intact.
This week we’re sharing articles on monitoring mixins, cloud native monitoring, monitoring your microservices, and a unique way to know when your software license is going to expire.
Last week TimeShift took a vacation, but the Grafana Labs team stayed busy. We announced an important security fix for 5.2.3 and 4.6.4 specifically for LDAP and OAuth authentication. Please read the announcement and upgrade immediately if you haven’t already.
Today we are releasing Grafana 5.2.3 and Grafana 4.6.4. These patch releases includes a very important security fix for all Grafana installations which are configured to use LDAP or OAuth authentication.
This week we highlight articles featuring the ultimate guide to monitoring Kubernetes using Prometheus and Grafana, how to build effective dashboards, and a guide to help demystify PromQL.
August is flying by, but hopefully there’ll still be time to enjoy a few more summer evenings. This week we’re sharing the video demoing the new Explore UI in Grafana from last week’s PromCon, monitoring VMWare’s VKE with Prometheus, hosting a blog on a budget and more.
PromCon was held this week in Munich, Germany, and Grafana Labs was excited to both sponsor and speak at this great conference. If you didn’t have a chance to attend, you can watch a recorded livestream of the event and download slides in the blog roundup below.
This week we announced the dates for GrafanaCon LA and officially opened up the CFP! While we can’t predict the weather, we can be almost certain it will be blizzard-free this time around. Also, if you’re going to be in Munich next week for PromCon, please be sure and say hello!
At GrafanaCon EU in March, we had the pleasure of introducing one of Grafana Labs’ newest team members, Tom Wilkie, who joined as VP, Product with the acquisition of Kausal. And he came bearing gifts: his popular talk about the RED Method of monitoring microservices, which he created in 2015.
This week’s big news is that Grafana v5.2.2 was released and includes fixes for Prometheus graphs, dashboard links, loading external plugins, SQL connection leaks, and more. Also, check out our new Grafana Flux plugin and monitor temperature and forecasts using Grafana and the openweathermap API.
