Dashboards are powerful tools for monitoring and troubleshooting your system. Too often, however, we run into an incident, jump to the dashboard, just to find ourselves drowning in endless data and unable to find what we need.

Let’s take a look back at some of the eye-catching and informative results.
With every new update and feature we introduced to our open source LGTM stack this year, we have also enhanced Grafana Cloud, our hosted offering that is powered by Grafana Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Grafana Tempo for traces, and Grafana Mimir for metrics.
