What grafana/grafana shipped

This week: SQL Expressions return NULL instead of crashing on JSON functions, embedded NATS clusters across hosts without extra config, sub-millisecond durations render as fractional ms, and the Dashboards API afterDelete hook gets a timeout.

This week's changes to Grafana include several fixes developers will notice. SQL Expressions now return NULL from JSON functions instead of crashing, and a panic in a query or expression is isolated to that node as an error. Embedded NATS can cluster instances across hosts without extra configuration, authenticated by a credential in the database. Duration units render non-zero sub-millisecond values as fractional milliseconds rather than a blank string. The Dashboards API afterDelete hook gains a timeout, and the search distributor relies only on gRPC status. Folder labels are split into separate alert and recording rule labels, and PanelEditNext restores snapping splitters.

The redesigned homepage is now on for everyone, with the old layout and its feature flag removed. Global search results now include folder paths, and gzip middleware no longer adds headers on 304 and 204 responses.

This week the redesigned homepage reaches all users, with the experimental flag and legacy layout removed. Global search results now return folder paths so clients can show where each result lives, and the dashboard service reads min_refresh_interval from config rather than a hardcoded minimum. On the middleware side, gzip no longer writes a header and footer for 304 Not Modified or 204 No Content responses. Unified search and unified storage also picked up fixes around background rebuilds, snapshot upload tracking on reopen, and watch notifications from the legacy SQL backend.

This week: filterablePanels and thresholdsInterpolation on by default, profiles heatmap GA, SQL Expressions read enums as text, team memberships gain teamInternalId, resizable floating extension sidebar, Scenes v9.

This week in Grafana: the filterablePanels and thresholdsInterpolation flags are now enabled by default in OSS, and the profiles heatmap is GA. SQL Expressions read enum fields as their text rather than their index. Team membership responses include an optional teamInternalId. The floating extension sidebar is resizable, provisioning cleanup removes obsolete managed folders, and Scenes moves to v9. The homepage cards get a footer filter dropdown and page kinds shown as icons.

This week: dashboards reserve body height so variable controls stay reachable, dynamic dashboards get Viewing/Editing modes, the extension sidebar can float, table cell actions come from typed config, alert rule search moves to new routes, and Luxon is on by default.

This week's changes in Grafana: Dashboards reserve at least 200px of body height so a tall template variable bar cannot make the canvas unreachable. Dynamic dashboards have an experimental Viewing and Editing mode picker. The extension sidebar can float over the page as a draggable box, enabled by default under a feature flag. Tables render cell actions from typed configuration, and the column sidebar takes focus when opened from the column menu. Alert rule and recording rule search moved to new searchAlertRules and searchRecordingRules routes, and the More menu shows one import tool when the migration wizard flag is on. Provisioning now rejects direct writes to _folder.json and checks originalPath on moves. Luxon is enabled by default, and the add-to-notebook form accepts ordered markdown

Logs options otelLogsFormatting, inlineLogdetailsNoScrolls and lokiAlignedQuerySplitting are on by default. Data gains an inSet matcher and richer between ranges. Sort by transformation sorts on multiple fields. Search filters by folder tree. Recording rules get remote-write batc

This week the log options otelLogsFormatting, inlineLogdetailsNoScrolls and lokiAlignedQuerySplitting are enabled by default. Data adds an inSet value matcher and extends the between matcher with inclusive endpoints, open bounds and explicit handling of missing or non-numeric values. The Sort by transformation now applies all configured sort fields in priority order and lets you reorder them. The global search API accepts a folderTree filter that matches a folder and everything below it. Alerting recording rules gain max_write_batch_size and max_write_concurrency settings. Table scroll shadows are limited to the rendered column width, panel editor navigation no longer flashes the dashboard, and notebooks show their own time range when reopened.

This week: hybrid search for folders, generic per-resource search API, blob support through KV interface, storage index hourly reconciliation, and alert rule storage refactoring.

This week in Grafana: hybrid search expanded to folders and all resources via new generic API; blobs now work through KV interface for unified deployment support; storage index reconciles hourly to catch missed changes; OAuth token refresh uses time budgets; alert storage architecture simplified through package separation.

Router discovery now caches results, watches work like Kubernetes, and state is visible through dashboards. SMTP settings apply live from config overrides. Notebooks use creation dates in default names.

This week brought significant router stability improvements: aggregated discovery caching eliminates per-backend calls, watch requests now match Kubernetes behavior for informer compatibility, and dashboards can monitor backend health and API group routing. Configuration is more dynamic with SMTP settings reading live from the config provider. API builders expose richer manifest details for enterprise features.

This week: Alerting now supports Amazon Managed Prometheus, dashboard assistant plans render as previews, notebooks gained IRM incident actions, and storage pagination works better after authorization filtering.

New in Grafana: Amazon Managed Prometheus recording rules now work with Alerting, dashboard assistant plans preview before building, notebooks can create and attach IRM incidents, and storage pagination handles authorization filtering correctly. Query execution migrated to async APIs and Git Sync folder picker improved for folderless repositories.
