Grafana v5.4 Released

Grafana v5.4 introduces a range of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes to improve user experience and functionality. Noteworthy updates include the new "For" setting in alerting, which minimizes false positives by introducing a pending state before sending notifications, and enhanced support for Google Stackdriver, now featuring templating queries and a custom query editor. The release also debuts a graphical query builder for MySQL, simplifying the process of working with timeseries data, and graph panel improvements that allow for the highlighting of specific time regions. Additionally, team preferences can now be customized for home dashboards, timezones, and themes, with user profile settings taking precedence over team and organization preferences. These updates aim to streamline workflows, enhance data visualization, and offer greater flexibility in user and team settings.
