Annotating Events with Grafana | Grafana for Beginners Ep. 10

As we observe our system, we are bound to come across some interesting events or failures. By flagging these events and adding context, we can communicate whether further investigation is needed or if action should be taken to address these events. This is known as annotating events. Join Senior Developer Advocate, Lisa Jung to learn how to annotate events with Grafana. ☁️ 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.

The engineering on-call experience: misconceptions, lessons learned, and how to prepare

The on-call experience is sometimes a dreaded one for software engineers. Those late-night alerts and frantic Slack messages, after all, don’t exactly sound pleasant. But what’s an on-call shift really like? Is that perception of constant fire-fighting and 3 AM wake-up calls actually realistic? Michael Mandrus and Owen Smallwood, both senior software engineers here at Grafana Labs, wanted to set the record straight.

An OpenTelemetry backend in a Docker image: Introducing grafana/otel-lgtm

OpenTelemetry is a popular open source project to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data, including metrics, logs, and traces. OTel, however, does not provide a monitoring backend — and this is exactly where the Grafana stack comes in. Here at Grafana Labs, we’re fully committed to the OpenTelemetry project and community.

5 key takeaways from the Grafana Labs' 2024 Observability Survey

How to use PGO and Grafana Pyroscope to optimize Go applications

Profile-guided optimization (PGO) is a compiler feature that uses runtime profiling data to optimize code. Now fully integrated in Go 1.21+, PGO is a powerful tool to boost application performance — and with Grafana Pyroscope, our open source continuous profiling database, you can significantly magnify the value of PGO. In this post, we’ll explore what PGO is, how the Pyroscope team has used it internally to improve performance, and how you can use PGO to make your own programs faster.
