Grafana 6.1, released shortly after the major 6.0 launch, introduces several enhancements aimed at improving user experience and system security. Key updates include the introduction of ad hoc filtering for Prometheus, which allows users to create and apply key/value filters dynamically for better data exploration without altering queries. This release also updates the permissions system, enabling editors to self-manage dashboards, folders, and teams they create, fostering more self-organized teams. Additionally, the release marks the initial step in enhancing security by allowing the listing and revoking of user authentication tokens through the API. Minor updates include the introduction of a new keyboard shortcut, bug fixes related to Elasticsearch, and new capabilities for datasource plugins. The community is encouraged to provide feedback on these features to potentially make them permanent fixtures in future updates.
