Traces, logs, and metrics provide inherently different views into a system, which is why correlating between them is important. With features like exemplar support, trace to logs, and span references, you can quickly jump between most telemetry signals in Grafana. With the release of Grafana 9.1, we’re improving Grafana’s ability to correlate different signals by adding the functionality to link between traces and metrics.

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new feature we’ve been working on in Grafana 9.1: public dashboards 🎉. The public dashboards feature will allow you to share your Grafana dashboard with anyone, even if they’re not part of your Grafana organization. Historically, the only way that someone could share a dashboard externally was taking a one-time snapshot 📸, or disabling all authorization for their Grafana instance 😬.

We are happy to announce the release of the Grafana usage groups feature in Grafana Cloud. This new feature — which is available in the Grafana Cloud Advanced plan — helps centralized observability teams and administrators track and attribute metrics usage back to groups that exist within a single shared Grafana stack. Ultimately, Grafana usage groups can help with governance and cost control.

More than 17 million developers use Docker to build, ship, and run applications separate from their infrastructure in order to deliver software faster and more efficiently. With the rising popularity of containerized applications, however, it has become increasingly more complex and difficult to observe and monitor applications running across multiple containers.

MongoDB is one of the most popular NoSQL databases in the world, used by millions of developers to store application metrics from e-commerce transactions to user logins.
