How to surface trends and make sense of your data with Grafana

Grafana Labs has introduced new features in Grafana 10.0 that enhance data visualization and trend analysis, enabling users to better interpret large datasets. These include sparklines in table visualizations, regression analysis for time series data, and trend panels that allow for continuous data visualization beyond time-based metrics. The regression analysis transformation offers options such as linear and polynomial models to help smooth out data extremes and better understand long-term trends. Stat panels now feature a percent change indicator to provide insight into metric trends. Additionally, Grafana Cloud enhances these capabilities by offering metric forecasting for future trend assessment, positioning itself as a comprehensive tool for managing metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards with various subscription plans, including a free tier.
