Grafana Cloud in 2024: Year in review | Grafana Labs

From adaptive telemetry to the Explore apps suite, here’s a look back at the big updates we made to Grafana Cloud in 2024.

Extending adaptive telemetry to logs and beyond.

Adaptive Logs helps you lower your observability costs by reducing the volume of unnecessary logs. With just a few clicks, you can also improve your log management experience so you can focus on what’s truly valuable.

Simplified data analysis with the Explore apps suite.

These apps streamline data exploration and analysis through intuitive, point-and-click UIs, enabling you to drill down and visualize data without having to know query languages like PromQL, LogQL, or TraceQL.

Additions to Application Observability:

Time frame comparison to analyze service performance over time

Automatic baseline to compare RED metrics for services and operations against historic upper and lower thresholds.

The filter-by feature to manage which data is visible based on attribute values

Control collectors at scale with Fleet Management.

It helps you manage hundreds or thousands of collectors efficiently. It enables you to roll out configurations remotely, monitor collector health across all deployments, and control cost simply by activating or deactivating pipelines as needed.

Two new check types in Synthetic Monitoring: multiHTTP and k6 scripted checks. We also introduced k6 browser checks, now in public preview, which let you collect frontend Web Vitals metrics, capture custom performance metrics, and perform user actions like clicking buttons or completing forms.
At #ObservabilityCON 2024, we introduced a suite of unified workflows connecting Asserts and Grafana Cloud solutions that helps automate the correlation of anomalies across infrastructure and application layers to provide a more cohesive troubleshooting experience.
We rolled out our AI Observability solution, a Grafana Cloud integration designed to provide insights into gen AI use cases.

Plus so much more like multi-cloud monitoring, ML-enhanced guidance in #Grafana SLO, and new enterprise data sources. See the details in the blog!
