Summary

Grafana Cloud has introduced several updates to enhance its fully managed observability platform, including making Fleet Management generally available, which allows for scalable management of telemetry collector deployments with features like Terraform provisioning and Kubernetes integration. A new unified Incident Response and Management (IRM) app merges previous OnCall and Incident apps to streamline alert and incident management, and there have been performance enhancements in geomap visualizations by transitioning to WebGL. Visualization actions, now generally available, enable API calls from dashboard panels, and dashboard variables are now supported for all data transformations. A standardized approach to plugin details pages aims to improve user engagement, while experimental Label Based Access Control (LBAC) for metrics data sources offers fine-grained access control. Additionally, Grafana SLO now integrates with Graphite, Splunk, and AppDynamics data sources, and new alerting features include Jira Service Management support and alert rule version history, making Grafana Cloud a comprehensive solution for data management and incident response.
