Tech (Note for devs) Started using Typescript (transpiled to ES5), uncompiled typescript files and less files are in public folder (in source tree) This folder is never modified by build steps. Compiled css and javascript files are put in public_gen, all other files that do not undergo transformation are just copied from public to public_gen, it is public_gen that is used by grafana-server if it is found.

Grunt & Watch tasks:

• grunt : default task, will remove public_gen, copy over all files from public, do less & typescript compilation
• grunt watch: will watch for changes to less, and typescript files and compile them to public_gen, and for other files it will just copy them to public_gen

InfluxDB Breaking changes

• To better support templating, fill(0) and group by time low limit some changes has been made to the editor and query model schema
• Currently some of these changes are breaking
• If you used custom condition filter you need to open the graph in edit mode, the editor will update the schema, and the queries should work again
• If you used a raw query you need to remove the time filter and replace it with $timeFilter (this is done automatically when you switch from query editor to raw query, but old raw queries needs to updated)
• If you used group by and later removed the group by the graph could break, open in editor and should correct it
• InfluxDB annotation queries that used timeFilter should be updated to use $timeFilter syntax instead
• Might write an upgrade tool to update dashboards automatically, but right now master (1.8) includes the above breaking changes

InfluxDB query editor enhancements

• Issue #756. InfluxDB: Add option for fill(0) and fill(null), integrated help in editor for why this option is important when stacking series
• Issue #743. InfluxDB: A group by time option for all queries in graph panel that supports a low limit for auto group by time, very important for stacking and fill(0)
• The above to enhancements solves the problems associated with stacked bars and lines when points are missing, these issues are solved:
• Issue #673. InfluxDB: stacked bars missing intermediate data points, unless lines also enabled
• Issue #674. InfluxDB: stacked chart ignoring series without latest values

Fixes

• maxDataPoints must be an integer #184 (thanks @frejsoya for fixing this)

For people who are find Grafana slow for large time spans or high resolution metrics. This is most likely due to graphite returning a large number of datapoints. The maxDataPoints parameter solves this issue. For maxDataPoints to work you need to run the latest graphite-web (some builds of 0.9.12 does not include this feature).
