Summary

Grafana 9.3 introduces significant updates aimed at enhancing user accessibility and functionality, including improved navigation, localization in multiple languages, and new alerting features. The release features a revamped navigation system with consistent page layouts and a new header for easier dashboard access, alongside the introduction of Grafana localization in Spanish, French, German, and Chinese to make it more accessible to a global audience. Key updates include the addition of a photo layer in the Geomap panel, icon value mapping in Canvas panels, and the ability to manage public dashboards, which are now more customizable and easier to configure. The release also includes a new transformation feature called "Partition by values," which simplifies data querying by allowing results to be split based on unique values, reducing the need for multiple queries. Enhanced reporting tools now allow users to zoom in and out of dashboards to better tailor reports, while Grafana Alerting updates offer customizable email templates, support for Webex Teams, and improved error visibility. Security and authentication improvements include OAuth token handling enhancements, a command-line tool to resolve user identity conflicts, and updated LDAP and Azure AD OAuth2 features, along with extended RBAC support through Terraform for provisioning permissions.
