Grafana 7.0 introduces significant advancements in observability by integrating distributed tracing systems, notably Jaeger and Zipkin, into its platform, enhancing its ability to handle scalable, distributed microservice architectures. These integrations come with a new trace viewer designed to provide a familiar and user-friendly experience, allowing users to zoom into specific trace regions and access detailed span information. The update also includes internal linking with Loki derived fields, enabling dynamic field creation and linking within Grafana, which facilitates the correlation of data across different sources. This development represents a step towards a fully integrated observability experience, with plans to support more data sources and enhance trace-to-log correlation, all while adhering to Grafana's philosophy of enabling users to mix and match data sources.
