The updated Strava plugin for Grafana, version 1.3.0, enhances the ability to visualize personal athletic data collected by Strava, a popular service for tracking workouts such as running and cycling. This version introduces improved query options, allowing users to extract and display specific statistics like heart rate, speed, altitude, and more in graphs and tables, tailored to particular activities. New features include the "Fit to Range" toggle for aligning graphs with current time ranges, stats queries for quick data reference, and template variables for constructing reusable dashboards. Additionally, the plugin supports extended stats in table views and includes data links for easy navigation to activity dashboards. The updated plugin also comes with several pre-built dashboards, simplifying the process of getting started, especially on Grafana Cloud, which offers both free and upgraded paid plans.
