Grafana 8.2 introduces several new features aimed at enhancing user experience and accessibility, including a dynamic plugin catalog that allows users to manage plugins without restarting Grafana, and the ability to define fiscal years and quarters within time range controls, which is beneficial for various business dashboards. The release also brings performance improvements to the image renderer, reducing image load times significantly. In Grafana Enterprise, users can expect a revamped Stats and Licensing page, improved access control permissions, and enhanced usage insights and reporting features. The update allows for exporting usage logs as server logs and creating reports directly from dashboards, supporting more granular control over data source management and provisioning. These changes, along with ongoing work to improve accessibility and fine-grained access controls, aim to broaden Grafana's usability and efficiency for diverse business applications.
