Summary

Grafana 7.0 introduces new Enterprise features designed to enhance user experience and manage large installations through usage insights and a user presence indicator. Usage insights provide detailed data on dashboard usage, errors, and user interactions, helping organizations identify popular or problematic dashboards while minimizing data storage costs through deduplication and growth limits. The user presence indicator, inspired by collaborative tools like Google Docs, allows users to see who else is engaging with a dashboard, fostering communication and collaboration, especially during incidents. Grafana's updates aim to ensure these features are seamlessly integrated into the overall experience, with improvements to search functionality and dashboard interfaces. Looking ahead, Grafana plans to prioritize data source insights and refine data collection methods while maintaining performance across different resource environments.
