Grafana's future UI aims to enhance the integration of logs, metrics, and traces within observability infrastructures, maintaining its mission to provide a singular, cohesive interface. David Kaltschmidt, Director of User Experience at Grafana Labs, emphasizes the importance of dashboards being purposeful and immutable, evolving Grafana to make observability elements more accessible and interconnected. Current capabilities include features like data links and Explore, which facilitate seamless transitions between different data sources and maintain query context. Future developments are exploring intelligent dashboard suggestions, improved log and trace integration, and the potential introduction of modals and tabbed views to transform Grafana into a more robust troubleshooting interface. The aspiration is to create a collaborative environment with features like saving tabs and adding comments, ensuring Grafana remains a central hub for data collection while evolving to meet users' needs.
