Grafana v7.2 released with custom date formats, new transforms and overrides

Grafana v7.2, released on September 23, 2020, introduces several new features and enhancements, building on previous versions such as Grafana 7.0. Key updates include customizable date formatting options, enabling users to adjust how dates appear across various visualizations by modifying server-wide settings. The release also brings new field options, table column filters, and advanced field override selection options, which have moved out of beta after extensive testing and feedback. Users can take advantage of new transformations, such as a Group By transformation and the ability to drag transformations and queries to reorder them. The update includes improved query inspection in Explore and the addition of a new variable for Prometheus, $__rate_interval. Additionally, sensitive alert channel settings are now encrypted for enhanced security. Grafana Enterprise sees the introduction of new report features, including a grid layout option and the ability to generate reports with different time ranges than what is shown on dashboards. The release also enhances the Azure Data Explorer plugin with a visual query builder to simplify KQL queries. Community contributions were acknowledged, and users are encouraged to explore these updates by downloading Grafana 7.2 or trying it in the cloud.
