Sure, you might *know* the power of #SQL expressions in #Grafana...
But what does it look like in action?
We created a dashboard on Grafana Play so you can see for yourself. Give it a whirl: https://play.grafana.org/d/mapr4nb/sql-expressions-showcase?orgId=1&from=now-6h&to=now&timezone=utc
Observability is about turning operational data into action and resolution. That’s where Grafana Cloud shines.

✅ From "something's off" to "here's why" — fast.
Grafana Assistant goes full detective: pulls the clues, connects the dots, and suggests fixes.
"I like working with software that looks good."
On season 3 episode 5 of the Big Tent podcast, Grafana creator Torkel Ödegaard talks about #Grafana 12 and why UI matters.
Open is better. Open source. Open standards. Open ecosystem.
In this #AI era, #opensource is also a quick win.
Learn why it's become the cheat code for AI from Tom Wilkie on CIO.
Visualizing data through APIs means digging through docs + building dashboards manually.
No more!
Use the Infinity data source plugin to query any #JSON API from #Grafana. Pair it with Grafana Assistant to go from URL to answers or dashboards in minutes.
Are you team tab or team spaces?
This dashboard looks at the top 100 most-starred GitHub repos and checks whether they use tab, spaces, or a mix of both because... chaos!

In Nov 2025, we delivered native #OpenTelemetry support for .NET 10.
In this post, we share a behind-the-scenes look at this journey, and a few updates about how we're helping those who use OTel signals within #dotNET applications move to .NET 10.
🥇 Go for gold — optimize for #telemetry value to reduce #MTTR, noise, and costs.
Learn how with Adaptive Telemetry — powered by actually useful #AI: https://grafana.com/blog/what-is-adaptive-telemetry-and-how-can-it-reduce-mttr-noise-and-cost/?camp=blog&mdm=social&src=bs
👀 Private networks can create monitoring blind spots.
Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring + private probes let you run checks from inside your environment to validate internal APIs, staging, and performance—without exposing anything publicly.
We couldn’t fit all our ❤️ for the Grafana community into one Valentine greeting, so Grot created a few:
If love were a metric, you'd be off the charts!
Not even DNS can get between us.
You had me at LGTM.
Prometheus? More like Promethe-us.
OTel me more, tell me more. It was love at first sight.
✨ Grafana Assistant gives your team an on-demand expert that they can trace, verify, and rely on to keep production stable.

The Grafana Cloud app for #Slack brings observability and incident response closer to where you and your teams already collaborate 🤝
Ask questions about system health, alerts, on-call schedules, and #Grafana Cloud features; manage incidents and alerts; and collaborate with full context.
Continuous profiling is the go-to #observability practice to directly connect system behavior to specific lines of code.
Still, some teams are reluctant to deploy it in production because of the potential overhead.
Here’s what we’ve learned running Pyroscope at scale here at Grafana Labs.
Say bye, bye, bye to dashboard sprawl.
In case you missed it, Git Sync is in public preview in Grafana Cloud!
