Grafana 9.1 introduces a new feature called public dashboards, allowing users to share their Grafana dashboards with anyone, even those outside their organization, without compromising security. Previously, sharing options were limited to one-time snapshots or disabling all authorization, which presented challenges for secure and real-time data sharing. With public dashboards as an alpha feature, users can enable it with a feature toggle and share live, read-only versions of their dashboards through a public link. Security measures ensure that queries are executed on the backend to prevent unauthorized access, while features like query caching and rate limiting available in Grafana Enterprise and Cloud Pro accounts help manage increased traffic. As an evolving feature, public dashboards are considered a "minimum loveable product" with plans for enhancements and the potential for initial issues typical of alpha releases. Users are encouraged to provide feedback to help shape future developments, and detailed documentation is available for enabling and understanding current limitations.
