Grafana v7.1 introduces several enhancements and new features, building on the developments from Grafana 7.0. Key updates include support for the Flux query language in InfluxDB data sources, feature parity for the new table panel with the introduction of merge on time transformation, and the removal of the query mode selector in Explore for a more unified querying experience. The update also introduces query history search and internal linking for Elasticsearch, as well as the ability to provision app plugins. Enhancements in data sources such as Azure Monitor and Google Cloud Monitoring include support for multiple dimensions and deep linking to the Metrics Explorer in Google Cloud Console. The release also offers new functionalities in the time range picker and stat panel and extends Grafana Enterprise features with support for HashiCorp Vault and monthly report scheduling. Users are encouraged to upgrade to v7.1 to take advantage of these improvements.
