Grafana 9.1 introduces several enhancements in usability, data visualization, and security, including new Grafana panels, trace-to-metrics linking, an APM table for Grafana Tempo, and the ability to share public dashboards. The update also features improved search capabilities and enhanced role-based access control (RBAC) across Grafana's features, enabling users to manage access to app plugins and data source usage insights. The release supports JWT URL embedding for secure dashboard integration into other applications. Users can explore these updates via Grafana Cloud, which offers a free tier and various plans, and can engage with the Grafana community for further discussion and feedback on these new features.
