In this video, Grafana Developer Advocate Leandro Melendez describes how Canvas panels combine the power of Grafana with the flexibility of custom elements. They are extensible visualizations that allow you to add and arrange elements wherever you want within unstructured static and dynamic layouts. This lets you design custom visualizations and overlay data in ways that aren’t possible with standard Grafana visualizations, all within the Grafana UI.

Learn about the anatomy of a Grafana plugin in this video where we'll dive deep into the various frontend and backend components involved when creating your own plugin. We'll look at the individual components for each plugin type, as well as explain how the plugin project files are organised, so that you're fully equipped to make your own awesome plugins.

Correlations is a feature that allows Grafana users to set up links between their data sources. Previously, the link generated would only be from one query to another—meaning results from a query could only generate links to open a second Explore pane with other query results. With this feature, users can now link to third party web-based software based on their search results. The format follows the standard Grafana format for using variables. This is generally available in all editions of Grafana.
