Troubleshoot performance issues faster with the new Grafana Assistant integration for Database Observability

May 6, 2026 By Jeremy Heller In Grafana
So your database is slow. Now what? Grafana Cloud Database Observability already gives you visibility into your SQL queries with RED metrics, individual execution samples, wait event breakdowns, table schemas, and visual explain plans. But visibility is just the starting point. You can see that a query's P99 latency spiked, but what should you do about it? You can see wait events like wait/synch/mutex/innodb firing, but what does that actually mean?

Get Observability in the Terminal, for You and Your Agents: gcx

May 4, 2026 By Grafana In Grafana
The way you write code is changing, which means the way you observe your systems and respond to issues needs to change, too. Engineers today spend much of their day working via command line, as agentic tools like Cursor and Claude Code have become highly effective at handling many day-to-day engineering tasks. This greatly accelerates code generation, but it doesn't solve for the context switching that comes when you have to jump into another tool that's not part of this new, faster workflow.

Faster fixes, less context sharing: how Grafana Assistant learns your infrastructure before you even ask

Apr 30, 2026 By William Dumont In Grafana
When an unexpected alert fires these days, most engineers' first move is to ask their AI assistant for help.You ask why your checkout service is slow and the assistant gets to work, but it can't get any meaningful insights—at least not quickly—without the proper guidance. So, the next thing you know you're sharing deals about your existing data sources, the services you have running, how they connect, which labels and metrics matter, and on and on.

Secure performance testing at scale: Introducing secrets management for Grafana Cloud k6

Apr 28, 2026 By Facundo Batista In Grafana
To simulate real user behavior, performance tests often rely on API keys, tokens, or credentials to interact with real systems. But as your testing suite grows, this sensitive data can start to sprawl across scripts, configs, and environments, increasing the risk of exposure and making tests harder to manage and maintain. To address this challenge, we’re rolling out secrets management for Grafana Cloud k6, the fully managed performance testing platform powered by k6 OSS.

Customize preconfigured views for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud with Cloud Provider Observability in Grafana Cloud

Apr 27, 2026 By Ana Ivanov In Grafana
Part of what makes Cloud Provider Observability in Grafana Cloud really useful is that it gives you prebuilt dashboards and drill-downs for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Out of the box you get service overviews, instance-level views, and quick links to explore your data. However, you might already have dashboards you trust, want a view tailored to your team’s workflow, or need to change which panels show up when you drill into a single instance.
