Grafana 9 has introduced a command palette designed to enhance the user experience, especially for power users who prefer using keyboard shortcuts for efficiency. This feature, inspired by similar functionalities in code editors and websites, allows users to perform various tasks such as navigating, searching, and managing dashboards with simple keystrokes, specifically cmd+k for macOS and ctrl+k for Linux/Windows. The command palette is part of a broader range of updates in Grafana 9, including improvements in navigation, search, new query builders for Prometheus and Grafana Loki, and security enhancements. The release aims to make Grafana more accessible and efficient, encouraging users to explore its capabilities through documentation and online resources like GrafanaCONline 2022. Grafana Cloud also offers a free tier to help users get started with metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards.
