Grafana 9: The new Grafana Loki query builder makes writing LogQL queries easier

Grafana 9 introduced a new query builder for Grafana Loki at GrafanaCONline 2022, aiming to simplify the creation and editing of LogQL queries, especially for new users. The tool allows users to easily select log streams through a label filter and enhance queries with operations such as line filters, parsers, and aggregations. It offers features like tooltips for better understanding of operations, an "Explain" mode for a comprehensive breakdown of query components, and a visual interface for editing queries. Users can switch between text, builder, and explain modes without losing changes, making it easier to learn and refine queries. The Grafana team is actively seeking user feedback to further enhance the query builder, and they encourage participation in community discussions and user research. Users interested in exploring these new features can watch the "Deep dive into Grafana 9" session from GrafanaCONline 2022 and engage with the Grafana community for more insights.
