In this demo video, Virginia Cepeda, senior software engineer at Grafana Labs, walks through the k6 browser checks feature in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring.

Grafana Labs' Jen Villa shares the latest insights into how organizations are rethinking their observability strategies — with cost now taking center stage. This video covers: Chapters: Grafana Cloud is the easiest way to get started with Grafana dashboards, metrics, logs, and traces. Our forever-free tier includes access to 10k metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces and more. We also have plans for every use case.

Creating dashboards in Grafana gives you some very good built-in features to manipulate your data by using transformations, variables, filtering, overriding,, annotations for your data and with addition of Community plugins (data sources, panels and apps) increases the user experience to a whole next level. Still, many users do not either know about these features or do not use it correctly and why is the reason?

In this pre-recorded Loki Community Call, we talk all about OTel and logging on Kubernetes with Cyril Tovena, Ward Bekker, Jay Clifford, and Nicole van der Hoeven at KubeCon EU 2025 in London. We discuss when why you should switch to OTel and why you shouldn't, what OTLP is exactly, and best practices for ingesting data through an OTLP endpoint.

This video is part of the Grafana Learning Journeys, and it walks you through how to connect to a Prometheus data source in Grafana Cloud.

In this Grafana Learning Journey supplementary video, Developer Advocate Marie Cruz shows how to start with the Grafana Infinity Data Source plugin, from installation to building a dashboard using CSV and JSON data.

In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to get Prometheus and Node Exporter running locally on an ARM64 Mac (like the M3 MacBook Pro), and how to connect it all to Grafana Cloud for beautiful dashboards and metric insights.

Do you have data formats you want to visualize in Grafana that are not supported natively? Or maybe you want to quickly prototype a dashboard and grab data from various endpoints such as REST APIs, CSV, JSON, or GraphQL? If you answered yes, then this video is for you! In this video, Developer Advocate Marie Cruz provides an overview of the Grafana Infinity Data Source Plugin and talks about the value and benefits it can bring.

Myrle Krantz, Director of Engineering at Grafana Labs, talks about vendor lock-in, OpenTelemetry vs. Prometheus, open source adoption, and other tooling findings from Grafana Labs’ third annual Observability Survey — featuring insights from over 1,200 practitioners across the globe.
