### Team Sync (Enterprise only)
|
||||
|
||||
> Only available in Grafana Enterprise v6.3+
|
||||
|
||||
With Team Sync you can map your GitHub org teams to teams in Grafana so that your users will automatically be added to
|
||||
the correct teams.
|
||||
|
||||
Your GitHub teams can be referenced in two ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- `https://github.com/orgs/<org>/teams/<team name>`
|
||||
- `@<org>/<team name>`
|
||||
|
||||
Example: `@grafana/developers`

## Explore improvements
|
||||
|
||||
This release adds a ton of enhancements to Explore. Both in terms of new general enhancements but also in
|
||||
new data source specific features.
|
||||
|
||||
### Loki live streaming
|
||||
|
||||
For log queries using the Loki data source you can now stream logs live directly to the Explore UI.
|
||||
|
||||
### Loki context queries
|
||||
|
||||
After finding a log line through the heavy use of query filters it can then be useful to
|
||||
see the log lines surrounding the line your searched for. The `show context` feature
|
||||
allows you to view lines before and after the line of interest.
|
||||
|
||||
### Elasticsearch logs support
|
||||
|
||||
This release adds support for searching & visualizing logs stored in Elasticsearch in the Explore mode. With a special
|
||||
simplified query interface specifically designed for logs search.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/elasticsearch_explore_logs.png" max-width="600px" caption="New Time Picker" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
Please read [Using Elasticsearch in Grafana](/features/datasources/elasticsearch/#querying-logs-beta) for more detailed information on how to get started and use it.
|
||||
|
||||
### InfluxDB logs support
|
||||
|
||||
This release adds support for searching & visualizing logs stored in InfluxDB in the Explore mode. With a special
|
||||
simplified query interface specifically designed for logs search.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/influxdb_explore_logs.png" max-width="600px" caption="New Time Picker" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
Please read [Using InfluxDB in Grafana](/features/datasources/influxdb/#querying-logs-beta) for more detailed information on how to get started and use it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Links
|
||||
|
||||
We have simplified the UI for defining panel drilldown links (and renamed them to Panel links). We have also added a
|
||||
new type of link named `Data link`. The reason to have two different types is to make it clear how they are used
|
||||
and what variables you can use in the link. Panel links are only shown in the top left corner of
|
||||
the panel and you cannot reference series name or any data field.
|
||||
|
||||
While `Data links` are used by the actual visualization and can reference data fields.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```url
|
||||
http://my-grafana.com/d/bPCI6VSZz/other-dashboard?var-server=${__series_name}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You have access to these variables:
|
||||
|
||||
Name | Description
|
||||
------------ | -------------
|
||||
*${__series_name}* | The name of the time series (or table)
|
||||
*${__value_time}* | The time of the point your clicking on (in millisecond epoch)
|
||||
*${__url_time_range}* | Interpolates as the full time range (i.e. from=21312323412&to=21312312312)
|
||||
*${__all_variables}* | Adds all current variables (and current values) to the url
|
||||
|
||||
You can then click on point in the Graph.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/graph_datalink.png" max-width="400px" caption="New Time Picker" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
For now only the Graph panel supports `Data links` but we hope to add these to many visualizations.
|
||||
|
||||
## New Time Picker
|
||||
|
||||
The time picker has been re-designed and with a more basic design that makes accessing quick ranges more easy.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/time_picker.png" max-width="400px" caption="New Time Picker" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
## Graph Gradients
|
||||
|
||||
Want more eye candy in your graphs? Then the fill gradient option might be for you! Works really well for
|
||||
graphs with only a single series.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/graph_gradient_area.jpeg" max-width="800px" caption="Graph Gradient Area" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
Looks really nice in light theme as well.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Grafana Enterprise
|
||||
|
||||
Substantial refactoring and improvements to the external auth systems has gone in to this release making the features
|
||||
listed below possible as well as laying a foundation for future enhancements.
|
||||
|
||||
### LDAP Active Sync
|
||||
|
||||
This is a new Enterprise feature that enables background syncing of user information, org role and teams memberships.
|
||||
This syncing is otherwise only done at login time. With this feature you can schedule how often this user synchronization should
|
||||
occur.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, lets say a user is removed from an LDAP group. In previous versions of Grafana an admin would have to
|
||||
wait for the user to logout or the session to expire for the Grafana permissions to update, a process that can take days.
|
||||
|
||||
With active sync the user would be automatically removed from the corresponding team in Grafana or even logged out and disabled if no longer
|
||||
belonging to an LDAP group that gives them access to Grafana.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### SAML Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
Built-in support for SAML is now available in Grafana Enterprise.
|
||||
|
||||
### Team Sync for GitHub OAuth
|
||||
|
||||
When setting up OAuth with GitHub it's now possible to sync GitHub teams with Teams in Grafana.
|
||||
|
||||
[See docs]({{< relref "auth/github.md" >}})
|
||||
|
||||
### Team Sync for Auth Proxy
|
||||
|
||||
We've added support for enriching the Auth Proxy headers with Teams information, which makes it possible
|
||||
to use Team Sync with Auth Proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
[See docs](/auth/auth-proxy/#auth-proxy-authentication)
