Breaking changes

For a proxied request, e.g. Grafana's datasource or plugin proxy:

• If the request is cancelled, e.g. from the browser/by the client, the HTTP status code is now 499 Client closed request instead of 502 Bad gateway
• If the request times out, e.g. takes longer time than allowed, the HTTP status code is now 504 Gateway timeout instead of 502 Bad gateway. Issue #47473

The change in behavior is that negative-valued series are now stacked downwards from 0 (in their own stacks), rather than downwards from the top of the positive stacks. We now automatically group stacks by Draw style, Line interpolation, and Bar alignment, making it impossible to stack bars on top of lines, or smooth lines on top of stepped lines. Issue #47373

The meaning of the default data source has now changed from being a persisted property in a panel. Before when you selected the default data source for a panel and later changed the default data source to another data source it would change all panels who were configured to use the default data source. From now on the default data source is just the default for new panels and changing the default will not impact any currently saved dashboards. Issue #45132

The Tooltip component provided by @grafana/ui is no longer automatically interactive (that is you can hover onto it and click a link or select text). It will from now on by default close automatically when you mouse out from the trigger element. To make tooltips behave like before set the new interactive property to true.
Issue #45053

/api/tsdb/query API has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use /api/ds/query instead. Issue #45238

The meaning of the default data source has now changed from being a persisted property in a panel.

Breaking changes

Grafana 8 Alerting enabled by default for installations that do not use legacy alerting

Starting with Grafana v8.3.0, if you have not explicitly disabled unified alerting and do not have legacy alerts set up you are automatically "migrated" to Grafana 8 Alerting.

A migration from legacy to Grafana 8 Alerting will never incur a data loss, as the previous data is kept around for rollback purposes. However, going from Grafana 8 Alerting to legacy alerting will delete all the data created for Grafana 8 Alerting. It is recommended that you backup your database before attempting a migration between systems.

If unclear, please verify the table below:

[alerting][enabled]	[unified_alerting][enabled]	With Existing Legacy Alerts	Result
true	true	N/A	Error
true	false	N/A	Legacy Alerting
true	not set	Yes	Legacy Alerting
true	not set	No	Grafana 8 Alerting
not set	true	N/A	Grafana 8 Alerting
not set	false	N/A	Legacy Alerting
not set	not set	Yes	Legacy Alerting
not set	not set	No	Grafana 8 Alerting
false	true	N/A	Grafana 8 Alerting
false	false	N/A	Alerting disabled
false	not set	N/A	Grafana 8 Alerting

Keep Last State for "If execution error or timeout" when upgrading to Grafana 8 alerting

In Grafana 8.3.0-beta2 we changed how alert rules that use Keep Last State for If execution error or timeout are upgraded from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. In 8.3.0-beta1 and earlier, alert rules with Keep Last State for If execution error or timeout were changed to Alerting when upgrading from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. However, in 8.3.0-beta2 these alert rules are now upgraded to a new option called Error. With this option, on encountering an error evaluating an alert rule, Grafana creates a special alert called DatasourceError with the rule_uid and ref_id as labels and an annotation called Error with the error message. Issue #41869

Fix No Data behaviour in Legacy Alerting

In Grafana 8.2.5 and later, this change fixes a bug in the evaluation of alert rules when using the AND operator to compare two or more conditions. In Grafana 8.2.4 and earlier such alert rules would evaluate to OK if at least one, but not all, conditions returned no data. This change fixes that bug such that in Grafana 8.2.5 these alert rules now evaluate to No Data.

If an alert should evaluate to OK when one or all conditions return No Data then this can be done via changing If no data or all values are null to OK. However, this will not preserve the old behaviour in 8.2.4 where an alert will be OK if at least one, but not all, conditions return no data and then No Data if all conditions return No Data.

Grafana v8.2.0-beta1 caused data loss for users having enabled ngalert in 8.0.x - 8.1.x and created alerts using the new alerting system. This issue is now fixed except if the deployment has multiple organizations and the feature flag was enabled in the previous version (8.0.x - 8.1.x).

In this scenario (upgrade from 8.0.x - 8.1.x with multiple organizations and ngalert enabled to 8.2.0-beta2), the migration will assign existing notification policies and contact points to the first organization and then apply the default alertmanager configuration to all organizations. This will effectively reset notification policies for all organizations. Issue #39541

Deprecations

ngalert feature toggle it has been deprecated it will be removed in a future release. To enable Grafana 8 alerts, modify your configuration and:

• in the alerting section set the enabled property to false Issue #38746

The monaco-editor dependency in grafana-ui has been updated to a newer version (0.27.0), which is not completely backward compatible with the old version (0.21.2). The backward incompatible changes are fairly small, but they do exist, so if your code accesses the raw monaco-objects through the grafana-ui package, please check the monaco-editor changelog and apply any necessary changes. Issue #39027

Unified Alerting (Grafana 8 Alerting) data loss

Grafana v8.2 fixed an issue with org isolation for notification configuration but to fix this Grafana will now re-run the migration from old alerting and this will cause complete removal of all new alert rules and notification configurations. This data loss is not something we find acceptable and are working on ways to mitigate it. So in the meantime, if you are an early adopter of unified alerting please wait with trying v8.2 beta. Issue #37414

Panel queries and/or annotation queries that used more than one statistic will be converted into one query/annotation per statistic. In case an alerting rule was based on a query row that had more than one statistic, it would now be based only on the first statistic for that query row. New alerting rules will not be created for migrated queries. Please note that in most cases it would not make sense to have an alerting rule that is based on multiple statistics anyway. Issue #36925

Breaking changes

When parsing Elasticsearch query responses using template variables, each field gets named after the variable value instead of the name. For example, executing a terms aggregation on a variable named $groupBy that has @hostname as a value, the resulting column in the table response will be @hostname instead of $groupBy Issue #36035

Azure Monitor data source no longer supports different credentials for Metrics and Logs in existing data sources. To use different credentials for Azure Monitor Logs, create another data source. Issue #35121

Existing Azure Metrics Logs queries for Log Analytics Workspaces should be backward compatible with this change and should not get impacted. Panels will be migrated to use the new resource-centric backend when you first edit and save them.

Application Insights and Insights Analytics queries are now read-only and cannot be modified. To update Application Insights queries, users can manually recreate them as Metrics queries, and Insights Analytics are recreated with Logs.

The default HTTP method for Prometheus data source is now POST. Previously, it was GET. The POST APIs have been available since January 2018 (Prometheus 2.1.0) and they have fewer limitations than the GET APIs. For example, when dealing with high cardinality labels, GET hits the URL size limit.

If you have a Prometheus instance with version < 2.1.0, which uses the default HTTP method, update your HTTP method to GET. Issue #34599

This should not impact Azure Monitor Logs queries, but if the variables are being used in other data sources which expect a Workspace GUID may no longer be compatible.

Custom template variables used in the workspace or resource field in Azure Monitor Logs queries should resolve to an Azure Resource URI in the format /subscriptions/{guid}/resourceGroups/{resource-group-name}/{resource-provider-namespace}/{resource-type}/{resource-name} Issue #34445

Removes support for deprecated backend plugin protocol (v1) including usage of github.com/grafana/grafana-plugin-model.

Breaking changes

Constant variables

In order to minimize the confusion with Constant variable usage, we've removed the ability to make Constant variables visible. This change will also migrate all existing visible Constant variables to Textbox variables because which we think this is a more appropriate type of variable for this use case. Issue #29407

Plugin compatibility

We have upgraded AngularJS from version 1.6.6 to 1.8.2. Due to this upgrade some old angular plugins might stop working and will require a small update. This is due to the deprecation and removal of pre-assigned bindings. So if your custom angular controllers expect component bindings in the controller constructor you need to move this code to an $onInit function. For more details on how to migrate AngularJS code open the migration guide and search for pre-assigning bindings.

In order not to break all angular panel plugins and data sources we have some custom angular inject behavior that makes sure that bindings for these controllers are still set before constructor is called so many old angular panels and data source plugins will still work. Issue #28736

Deprecations

Query variable value group tags

This option to group query variable values into groups by tags has been an experimental feature since it was introduced. It was introduced to work around the lack of tags support in time series databases at the time. Now that tags (ie. labels) are the norm there is no longer any great need for this feature. This feature will be removed in Grafana v8 later this year. Issue #30160

7.0.0 (2020-05-18)

Breaking changes

• Removed PhantomJS: PhantomJS was deprecated in Grafana v6.4 and starting from Grafana v7.0.0, all PhantomJS support has been removed. This means that Grafana no longer ships with a built-in image renderer, and we advise you to install the Grafana Image Renderer plugin.
• Dashboard: A global minimum dashboard refresh interval is now enforced and defaults to 5 seconds.
• Interval calculation: There is now a new option Max data points that controls the auto interval $__interval calculation. Interval was previously calculated by dividing the panel width by the time range. With the new max data points option it is now easy to set $__interval to a dynamic value that is time range agnostic. For example if you set Max data points to 10 Grafana will dynamically set $__interval by dividing the current time range by 10.
• Datasource/Loki: Support for deprecated Loki endpoints has been removed.
• Backend plugins: Grafana now requires backend plugins to be signed, otherwise Grafana will not load/start them. This is an additional security measure to make sure backend plugin binaries and files haven't been tampered with. Refer to Upgrade Grafana for more information.
• Docker: Our Ubuntu based images have been upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
• @grafana/ui: Forms migration notice, see @grafana/ui changelog
• @grafana/ui: Select API change for creating custom values, see @grafana/ui changelog

Deprecation warnings

• Scripted dashboards is now deprecated. The feature is not removed but will be in a future release. We hope to address the underlying requirement of dynamic dashboards in a different way. #24059
• The unofficial first version of backend plugins together with usage of grafana/grafana-plugin-model is now deprecated and support for that will be removed in a future release. Please refer to backend plugins documentation for information about the new officially supported backend plugins.

7.0 Feature highlights

Data transformations

Not just visualizing data from anywhere, in Grafana 7 you can transform it too. By chaining a simple set of point and click transformations users will be able join, pivot, filter, re-name and calculate to get the results they need. Perfect for operations across queries or data sources missing essential data transformations.

Data transformations will provide a common set of data operations that were previously duplicated as custom features in many panels or data sources but are now an integral part of the Grafana data processing pipeline and something all data sources and panels can take advantage of.

In Grafana 7.0 we have a shared data model for both time series and table data that we call DataFrame. A DataFrame is like a table with columns but we refer to columns as fields. A time series is simply a DataFrame with two fields (time & value).

Transformations shipping in 7.0

• Reduce: Reduce many rows / data points to a single value
• Filter by name: Filter fields by name or regex
• Filter by refId: Filter by query letter
• Organize fields: Reorder, rename and hide fields.
• Labels to fields: Transform time series with labels into a table where labels get's converted to fields and the result is joined by time
• Join by field: Join many result sets (series) together using for example the time field. Useful for transforming time series into a table with a shared time column and where each series get it's own column.
• Add field from calculation: This is a powerful transformation that allows you perform many different types of math operations and add the result as a new field. Examples:
  • Calculate the difference between two series or fields and add the result to a new field
  • Multiply one field with another another and add the result to a new field

New panel edit experience

In Grafana 7 we have redesigned the UI for editing panels. The first visible change is that we have separated panel display settings to a right hand side pane that you can collapse or expand depending on what your focus is on. With this change we are also introducing our new unified option model & UI for defining data configuration and display options. This unified data configuration system powers a consistent UI for setting data options across visualizations as well as making all data display settings data driven and overridable.

This new option architecture and UI will make all panels have a consistent set of options and behaviors for attributes like unit, min, max, thresholds, links, decimals. Not only that but all these options will share a consistent UI for specifying override rules and is extensible for custom panel specific options.

We have yet to migrate all core panels to this new architecture so in 7.0 there will sadly be some big inconsistencies in the UI between panels. Hopefully this will be fixed soon in future releases as we update all the core panels and help the community update the community panel plugins.

New table panel

Grafana 7.0 comes with a new table panel (and deprecates the old one). This new table panel supports horizontal scrolling and column resize. Paired with the new Organize fields transformation detailed above you can reorder, hide & rename columns. This new panel also supports new cell display modes, like showing a bar gauge inside a cell.

Panel inspector

The panel inspector is a feature that every panel will support, including internal as well as external community plugins. In this new panel inspector, you can view the raw data in a table format, apply some pre-defined transformations, and download as CSV. You can find the Inspect setting in the panel menu. Use the keyboard shortcut i when hovering over a panel to get the panel inspector to appear.

Improved time zone support

Starting in version 7.0, you can override the time zone used to display date and time values in a dashboard.

With this feature, you can specify the local time zone of the service or system that you are monitoring. This can be helpful when monitoring a system or service that operates across several time zones.

We have also extended the time zone options so you can select any of the standard ISO 8601 time zones.

6.7.0-beta1 (2020-03-12)

Breaking changes

• Slack: Removed Mention setting and instead introduce Mention Users, Mention Groups, and Mention Channel. The first two settings require user and group IDs, respectively. This change was necessary because the way of mentioning via the Slack API changed and mentions in Slack notifications no longer worked.
• Alerting: Reverts the behavior of diff and percent_diff to not always be absolute. Something we introduced by mistake in 6.1.0. Alerting now support diff(), diff_abs(), percent_diff() and percent_diff_abs(). #21338

Notice about changes in backendSrv for plugin authors

In our mission to migrate away from AngularJS to React we have removed all AngularJS dependencies in the core data retrieval service backendSrv.

Removing the AngularJS dependencies in backendSrv has the unfortunate side effect of AngularJS digest no longer being triggered for any request made with backendSrv. Because of this, external plugins using backendSrv directly may suffer from strange behaviour in the UI.

To remedy this issue, as a plugin author you need to trigger the digest after a direct call to backendSrv.

Example:

backendSrv.get(‘http://your.url/api’).then(result => {
    this.result = result;
    this.$scope.$digest();
});

Another unfortunate outcome from this work in backendSrv is that the response format for .headers() changed from a function to an object.

To make your plugin work on 6.7.x as well as on previous versions you should add something like the following:

let responseHeaders = response.headers;
if (!responseHeaders) {
  return null;
}

// Support pre 6.7 angular HTTP rather than fetch
if (typeof responseHeaders === 'function') {
  responseHeaders = responseHeaders();
}

You can test your plugin with the master branch version of Grafana.

Breaking changes

• CloudWatch: Pre Grafana 6.5.0, the CloudWatch datasource used the GetMetricStatistics API for all queries that did not have an ´id´ and did not have an ´expression´ defined in the query editor. The GetMetricStatistics API has a limit of 400 transactions per second. In this release, all queries use the GetMetricData API. The GetMetricData API has a limit of 50 transactions per second and 100 metrics per transaction. For API pricing information, please refer to the CloudWatch pricing page (https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/).

• CloudWatch: The GetMetricData API does not return metric unit, so unit auto detection in panels is no longer supported.

• CloudWatch: The HighRes switch has been removed from the query editor. Read more about this in upgrading to 6.5.

• CloudWatch: In previous versions of Grafana, there was partial support for using multi-valued template variables as dimension values. When a multi-valued template variable is being used for dimension values in Grafana 6.5, a search expression will be generated. In the GetMetricData API, expressions are limited to 1024 characters, so you might reach this limit if you are using a large number of values. Read our upgrading to 6.5 guide to see how you can use the * wildcard for this use case.

Breaking changes

• CloudWatch: Pre Grafana 6.5.0, the CloudWatch datasource used the GetMetricStatistics API for all queries that did not have an ´id´ and did not have an ´expression´ defined in the query editor. The GetMetricStatistics API has a limit of 400 transactions per second. In this release, all queries use the GetMetricData API. The GetMetricData API has a limit of 50 transactions per second and 100 metrics per transaction. For API pricing information, please refer to the CloudWatch pricing page (https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/).

• CloudWatch: The GetMetricData API does not return metric unit, so unit auto detection in panels is no longer supported.

• CloudWatch: The HighRes switch has been removed from the query editor. Read more about this in upgrading to 6.5.

• CloudWatch: In previous versions of Grafana, there was partial support for using multi-valued template variables as dimension values. When a multi-valued template variable is being used for dimension values in Grafana 6.5, a search expression will be generated. In the GetMetricData API, expressions are limited to 1024 characters, so you might reach this limit if you are using a large number of values. Read our upgrading to 6.5 guide to see how you can use the * wildcard for this use case.

Breaking changes

Annotations

There are some breaking changes in the annotations HTTP API for region annotations. Region annotations are now represented using a single event instead of two separate events. Check breaking changes in HTTP API below and HTTP API documentation for more details.

Docker

Grafana is now using Alpine 3.10 as docker base image.

HTTP API

• GET /api/alert-notifications now requires at least editor access. New /api/alert-notifications/lookup returns less information than /api/alert-notifications and can be access by any authenticated user.
• GET /api/alert-notifiers now requires at least editor access
• GET /api/org/users now requires org admin role. New /api/org/users/lookup returns less information than /api/org/users and can be access by users that are org admins, admin in any folder or admin of any team.
• GET /api/annotations no longer returns regionId property.
• POST /api/annotations no longer supports isRegion property.
• PUT /api/annotations/:id no longer supports isRegion property.
• PATCH /api/annotations/:id no longer supports isRegion property.
• DELETE /api/annotations/region/:id has been removed.

Deprecation notes

PhantomJS

PhantomJS, which is used for rendering images of dashboards and panels, is deprecated and will be removed in a future Grafana release. A deprecation warning will from now on be logged when Grafana starts up if PhantomJS is in use.

Please consider migrating from PhantomJS to the Grafana Image Renderer plugin.
