## Correlations editor in Explore

October 3, 2023
_Available in public preview in Grafana Cloud_
Creating correlations has just become easier. Try out our new correlations editor in **Explore** by selecting the **+ Add > Add correlation** option from the top bar or from the command palette. The editor shows all possible places where you can place data links and guides you through building and testing target queries. For more information, refer to [the documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/administration/correlations/).

## Create correlations for provisioned data sources
<!-- Piotr Jamróz -->
<!-- OSS, Enterprise -->
<!-- already in on-prem -->
September 13, 2023
_Available in public preview in Grafana Cloud_
You can now create correlations using either the **Administration** page or provisioning, regardless of whether a data source was provisioned or not. In previous versions of Grafana, if a data source was provisioned, the only way to add correlations to it was also with provisioning. Now, that's no longer the case, and you can easily create new correlations mixing both methods—using the **Administration** page or provisioning.

Previously, the only transformation that supported [dashboard variables](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/dashboards/variables/) was the **Add field from calculation** transformation. We've now extended the support for variables to the **Filter by value**, **Create heatmap**, **Histogram**, **Sort by**, **Limit**, **Filter by name**, and **Join by field** transformations.
We've also made it easier to find the correct dashboard variable by displaying available variables in the fields that support them, either in the drop-down or as a suggestion when you type **$** or press Ctrl + Space:

_Generally available in Grafana Cloud_
You can now map Google groups to Grafana organizational roles when using Google OIDC.
This is useful if you want to limit the access users have to your Grafana instance.
We've also added support for controlling allowed groups when using Google OIDC.

_Generally available in Grafana Cloud_
The [TraceQL query editor](https://grafana.com/docs/tempo/<TEMPO_VERSION>/traceql/#traceql-query-editor) has been improved to facilitate the grouping of multiple spans per trace in TraceQL queries. For example, when the following `by(resource.service.name)` is added to your TraceQL query, it will group the spans in each trace by `resource.service.name`.

## Temporary credentials in CloudWatch data source
<!-- Michael Mandrus, Ida Štambuk, Sarah Zinger -->
<!-- Cloud -->
October 24, 2023
_Available in private preview in Grafana Cloud_
The Grafana Assume Role authentication provider lets Grafana Cloud users of the CloudWatch data source authenticate with AWS without having to create and maintain long term AWS Users. Using the new assume role authentication method, you no longer have to rotate access and secret keys in your CloudWatch data source. Instead, Grafana Cloud users can create an identity access and management (IAM) role that has a trust relationship with Grafana's AWS account; Grafana's AWS account will then use AWS Secure Token Service (STS) to create temporary credentials to access the user's AWS data.
To learn more, refer to the [CloudWatch authentication documentation](/docs/grafana/next/datasources/aws-cloudwatch/aws-authentication).

## Distributed tracing in Grafana Cloud k6
<!-- Heitor Tashiro Sergent -->
September 19, 2023
_Generally available in Grafana Cloud_
You can now use the Grafana Cloud Traces integration with Grafana Cloud k6 to quickly debug failed performance tests and proactively improve application reliability.
Distributed tracing in Grafana Cloud k6 only requires two things:
- An application instrumented for tracing with Grafana Cloud Traces.
- Adding a few lines of code to your existing k6 scripts.
The integration works by having k6 inject tracing metadata into the requests it sends to your backend services when you run a test. The tracing data is then correlated with k6 test run data, so you can understand how your services and operations behaved during the whole test run. The collected tracing data is aggregated to generate real-time metrics—such as frequency of calls, error rates, and percentile latencies—that can help you narrow your search space and quickly spot anomalies.
To learn more, refer to the [Integration with Grafana Cloud Traces documentation](/docs/grafana-cloud/k6/analyze-results/integration-with-grafana-cloud-traces/) and [Distributed Tracing in Grafana Cloud k6 blog post](https://grafana.com/blog/2023/09/19/troubleshoot-failed-performance-tests-faster-with-distributed-tracing-in-grafana-cloud-k6/).

The new browse dashboards interface features a more compact design, making it easier to navigate, search for, and manage for your folders and dashboards. The new interface also has many performance improvements, especially for instances with a large number of folders and dashboards.
To make using folders easier and more consistent, there is no longer a special **General** folder. Dashboards without a folder, or dashboards previously in **General**, are now shown at the root level.
