You use feature toggles, also known as feature flags, to enable or disable features in Grafana. You can turn on feature toggles to try out new functionality in development or test environments.
This page contains a list of available feature toggles. To learn how to turn on feature toggles, refer to our [Configure Grafana documentation]({{< relref "../_index.md#feature_toggles" >}}). Feature toggles are also available to Grafana Cloud Advanced customers. If you use Grafana Cloud Advanced, you can open a support ticket and specify the feature toggles and stack for which you want them enabled.
| `featureHighlights` | Highlight Grafana Enterprise features | |
| `dataConnectionsConsole` | Enables a new top-level page called Connections. This page is an experiment that provides a better experience when you install and configure data sources and other plugins. | Yes |
| `logsContextDatasourceUi` | Allow datasource to provide custom UI for context view | Yes |
| `gcomOnlyExternalOrgRoleSync` | Prohibits a user from changing organization roles synced with Grafana Cloud auth provider | |
| `prometheusMetricEncyclopedia` | Adds the metrics explorer component to the Prometheus query builder as an option in metric select | Yes |
| `prometheusDataplane` | Changes responses to from Prometheus to be compliant with the dataplane specification. In particular, when this feature toggle is active, the numeric `Field.Name` is set from 'Value' to the value of the `__name__` label. | Yes |
| `lokiMetricDataplane` | Changes metric responses from Loki to be compliant with the dataplane specification. | Yes |
| `dataplaneFrontendFallback` | Support dataplane contract field name change for transformations and field name matchers where the name is different | Yes |
| `alertingNotificationsPoliciesMatchingInstances` | Enables the preview of matching instances for notification policies | Yes |
| `useCachingService` | When active, the new query and resource caching implementation using a wire service inject replaces the previous middleware implementation. | |
| `enableElasticsearchBackendQuerying` | Enable the processing of queries and responses in the Elasticsearch data source through backend | Yes |
| `advancedDataSourcePicker` | Enable a new data source picker with contextual information, recently used order and advanced mode | Yes |
| `cloudWatchLogsMonacoEditor` | Enables the Monaco editor for CloudWatch Logs queries | Yes |
| `recordedQueriesMulti` | Enables writing multiple items from a single query within Recorded Queries | Yes |
| `transformationsRedesign` | Enables the transformations redesign | Yes |
| `trimDefaults` | Use cue schema to remove values that will be applied automatically |
| `panelTitleSearch` | Search for dashboards using panel title |
| `publicDashboards` | Enables public access to dashboards |
| `migrationLocking` | Lock database during migrations |
| `correlations` | Correlations page |
| `newDBLibrary` | Use jmoiron/sqlx rather than xorm for a few backend services |
| `autoMigrateOldPanels` | Migrate old angular panels to supported versions (graph, table-old, worldmap, etc) |
| `disableAngular` | Dynamic flag to disable angular at runtime. The preferred method is to set `angular_support_enabled` to `false` in the [security] settings, which allows you to change the state at runtime. |
| `grpcServer` | Run the GRPC server |
| `accessControlOnCall` | Access control primitives for OnCall |
| `nestedFolders` | Enable folder nesting |
| `alertingNoNormalState` | Stop maintaining state of alerts that are not firing |
| `influxdbBackendMigration` | Query InfluxDB InfluxQL without the proxy |
| `renderAuthJWT` | Uses JWT-based auth for rendering instead of relying on remote cache |
| `refactorVariablesTimeRange` | Refactor time range variables flow to reduce number of API calls made when query variables are chained |
| `faroDatasourceSelector` | Enable the data source selector within the Frontend Apps section of the Frontend Observability |
| `enableDatagridEditing` | Enables the edit functionality in the datagrid panel |
| `dataSourcePageHeader` | Apply new pageHeader UI in data source edit page |
| `awsAsyncQueryCaching` | Enable caching for async queries for Redshift and Athena. Requires that the `useCachingService` feature toggle is enabled and the datasource has caching and async query support enabled |
| `awsDatasourcesNewFormStyling` | Applies new form styling for configuration and query editors in AWS plugins |
| `cachingOptimizeSerializationMemoryUsage` | If enabled, the caching backend gradually serializes query responses for the cache, comparing against the configured `[caching]max_value_mb` value as it goes. This can can help prevent Grafana from running out of memory while attempting to cache very large query responses. |
The following toggles require explicitly setting Grafana's [app mode]({{< relref "../_index.md#app_mode" >}}) to 'development' before you can enable this feature toggle. These features tend to be experimental.
