Summary

Grafana 11, now available in preview, introduces several enhancements aimed at improving user experience, data visualization, and scalability. Key features include Scenes-powered dashboards, which offer a more stable and dynamic architecture, and Explore Metrics, a queryless feature for navigating Prometheus metrics. The Canvas panel has been upgraded with new flowcharting capabilities, while table visualizations can now have color-coded rows for better data interpretation. Grafana 11 also introduces AI-powered tools for generating titles and descriptions and improves alert management with features like 'Keep last state.' Additionally, the platform enhances organizational capabilities with subfolders for dashboards and user-based authentication for Azure Monitor data. The release also focuses on performance improvements, such as faster PDF exports and a better dashboard-editing experience. Grafana 11 is expected to be generally available by May 14, 2024, and users are encouraged to explore these features through Grafana Cloud or by downloading the preview version.
