Summary

InfluxData has introduced several enhancements to InfluxDB 3, expanding the options for visualizing time series data through integrations with popular tools like Grafana and Power BI, as well as native dashboard capabilities. The improved Grafana integration simplifies the setup process with automatic data source configuration and query exports, allowing users to transition quickly from data exploration in InfluxDB 3 Explorer to production dashboards. For those who prefer not to use separate dashboarding tools, InfluxDB Cloud Serverless now includes built-in dashboards, offering immediate insights directly from the Cloud UI. InfluxDB 3 Explorer has also been updated to support dashboard creation and management, compatible across various InfluxDB 3 products. Additionally, a new connector for Power BI is available in beta, enabling seamless integration of InfluxDB 3 data into Microsoft's business intelligence platform. Furthermore, an update to Chronograf is in progress to ensure compatibility with InfluxDB 3 for users who rely on InfluxQL. These developments provide users with a range of visualization options tailored to different needs and ecosystems.
