The inside scoop on alerting changes in Kubernetes Monitoring

Kubernetes Monitoring in Grafana Cloud comes out of the box with preconfigured alert rules that notify you about issues like CPU throttling, crash-looping pods, and nodes going offline. These rules are installed automatically when you set up the app, and they start evaluating immediately. But if you've recently reinstalled the Kubernetes Monitoring app and your alert notifications stopped arriving, or started looking different, you're not alone.

Spend less time on repetitive tasks with the new automation feature in Grafana Assistant

The ability to schedule regular tasks, such as cron jobs, has been around for decades. So why are we still running the same AI prompts by hand every day? As you use Grafana Assistant, our AI-powered observability agent, to stay on top of the state of your system, you likely find yourself asking the same questions. Maybe you want to know what changed overnight, or whether yesterday's deployment hurt latency, or which dashboards or skills are drifting out of date.

Why Clean Dashboards Improve Reporting and Decision-Making

Reporting affects how leaders judge performance, catch strain points, and set priorities. Yet many teams still work from crowded views, disconnected files, and stale exports. That arrangement slows review, invites doubt, and weakens confidence in every figure shown on screen. Clean dashboards correct that problem by presenting important measures in a clear order, limiting visual clutter, and making changes easier to spot. Better reporting, in turn, supports steadier choices across finance, sales, operations, and service.

Getting Started with gcx: A CLI for AI Agents and Grafana Telemetry | Demo

AI agents are only as useful as the context they can access. With gcx, your coding agents can connect to Grafana and query real-time production telemetry from your Cloud, Enterprise, or OSS environment. The best part: it avoids the upfront context bloat that can come with loading tools before you even send a prompt. gcx uses a CLI approach, so there’s zero token cost until your agent actually needs to run a query.

Lessons From a CI/CD Supply Chain Attack at Grafana Labs

When a compromised GitHub Actions workflow targets your CI/CD pipeline, how do you respond — and what do you change so it never happens again? Nick and David from Grafana Security walk through a real supply chain incident triggered by a pull_request_target misconfiguration, showing exactly what broke, what tools caught it, and what the team rebuilt afterward.

Preview launch: the Agent Impact Leaderboard and the Business Impact & ROI Dashboard

The Agent Impact Leaderboard and the Business Impact & ROI Dashboard are live in preview inside GitKraken Insights today. We built them because the questions engineering leaders are getting asked about AI shifted faster than the tools to answer them. Here’s what shipped and how to get access.

Inside the Grafana AI Team Weekly: Guards for AI Observability (May 5, 2026)

This is an excerpt from a real AI team weekly meeting where we talk about the stuff we build and occasionally also demo them! In this one, Principal Software Engineer Sven Großmann shows a new feature he's working on for AI Observability, called "guards". We're showing parts of our team meetings to build in public in some small way and give you a sneak preview of what's to come. But not all features we show may make it to production! You've been warned. :)

Exploring Powerful Power BI Dashboards for Smarter Decision-Making

Operational dashboards help teams answer urgent business questions quickly. They show whether production is on track, inventory is healthy, downtime is rising, or resources are being stretched too thin. This article explores practical Power BI dashboard examples for operational efficiency across production, supply chain management, resource planning, and performance measurement. It also explains how to build dashboards that support real decisions rather than simply displaying data.

Zero to Dashboard with Grafana Assistant and the Infinity datasource plugin

Senior Developer Advocate Nicole van der Hoeven demonstrates how to go from zero to dashboard in a few minutes without using any queries, with the help of Grafana Assistant and the infinity datasource plugin for Grafana. Nicole is using the rawg.io video game database API to visualize games and get recommendations for what to play next!

Generate test scripts from natural language with Grafana Assistant: introducing k6 Script Authoring

Performance testing is critical to ensure your applications stay reliable under load, but writing the scripts themselves often feels like a chore. Most engineers already know the scenario they want to test; the hard part is translating that intent into a working performance test. Even experienced developers who use k6 can lose time looking up syntax, configuring load stages and thresholds, or debugging boilerplate code before they can run a meaningful test.
