From multi-line queries to no-code investigations: meeting Grafana users where they are
Blog post from Grafana Labs
Grafana has introduced queryless telemetry exploration experiences called Explore apps, designed to accommodate users with varying levels of expertise in observability. These apps, which now include Metrics, Logs, Traces, and Profiles, offer no-code, low-code, and code options to help users derive insights from telemetry data without the need to learn complex query languages. This initiative aims to make observability tools more accessible and user-friendly by removing the barrier of mastering query languages, thus enabling users—from beginners to experts—to efficiently monitor and troubleshoot their systems. The Explore apps are part of Grafana's broader strategy to support a diverse user base, and they have been well-received since their launch, with plans for continued enhancements and user feedback integration. Grafana's commitment to evolving its LGTM Stack reflects its dedication to optimizing the observability experience for all users, offering both cloud and open-source solutions to cater to various deployment needs.
