Just two months after introducing the public preview of Grafana Beyla, we are excited to announce the general availability of the open source project with the release of Grafana Beyla 1.0 at ObservabilityCON 2023 today. We’ve worked hard in the last two months to stabilize, stress test, and refine the features that were part of the public preview of this open source eBPF auto-instrumentation tool.
At Grafana Labs, our mission has always been to help our users and customers understand the behavior of their applications and services. Over the past two years, the biggest needs we’ve heard from our customers have been to make it easier to understand their observability data, to extend observability into the application layer, and to get deeper, contextualized analytics.
The Grafana LGTM Stack (Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Tempo for traces, and Mimir for metrics) offers the freedom and flexibility for monitoring application performance. But we’ve also heard from many of our users and customers that you need a solution that makes it easier and faster to get started with application monitoring.
You'll often hear us saying "everyone loves a dashboard", and that's most certainly true, but nobody loves staring at a screen all day waiting for something to happen. Real magic is when your awesome dashboard comes to you, where you need it, when you need it. Over the last few months we've introduced a bunch of powerful features to make "taking action" as simple as possible... Monitors let you define the health of your data so you can see at a glance if something isn't right.
