Grafana Cloud has introduced a new metrics forecasting user interface designed to enhance observability through adaptive alerting by allowing users to proactively address potential issues before they arise. This improved UI streamlines the forecasting process, enabling users to test data for forecastability with live previews and real-time parameter adjustments, reducing guesswork. By integrating forecasting with Grafana Alerting, users can create adaptive alerts that respond to unexpected changes in metrics, such as sales transactions or web traffic, which helps in managing dynamic usage patterns more effectively than static alerts. The system also accommodates daily, weekly, and holiday variations to ensure alerts are triggered only by significant deviations. These enhancements are supported by the augurs library, which performs customization tasks on the frontend, making the process more efficient. Grafana Cloud offers these features free of charge, with options for advanced or enterprise customers to request usage limit increases.
