Grafana 11.4 introduces new capabilities for AWS users by integrating support for OpenSearch Piped Processing Language (PPL) and OpenSearch SQL in the AWS CloudWatch data source plugin, allowing users to choose their preferred query language for filtering and aggregating CloudWatch logs. This update enhances the flexibility of log querying and supports features such as syntax highlighting, live code completion, and sample queries to improve user experience. The release aims to enrich the Grafana ecosystem by inviting community engagement and feedback, offering a "forever-free" tier on Grafana Cloud, and providing resources for upgrading to the latest version. Grafana Labs expresses gratitude to its community for their contributions and encourages participation in the annual Observability Survey to further develop the platform.
