Breaking changes

  • Units: The date time units YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss and MM/DD/YYYY h:mm:ss a have been renamed to Datetime ISO and Datetime US respectively. This is no breaking change just a visual name change (the unit id is unchanged). The unit behavior is different however, it no longer hides the date part if the date is today. If you want this old behavior you need to change unit to Datetime ISO (No date if today) or Datetime US (No date if today).

7.0.1 (2020-05-26)

Features / Enhancements

Bug Fixes

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.

  • Prometheus: Fix for prometheus legend formats for instant time series queries. #24407, @torkelo

7.0.0-beta2 (2020-05-07)

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.
  • Docker: Our Ubuntu based images have been upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
  • Dashboard: A global minimum dashboard refresh interval is now enforced and defaults to 5 seconds.
  • @grafana/ui: Forms migration notice, see @grafana/ui changelog
  • 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.

Deprecation warnings

  • Scripted dashboards are 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

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

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.

5.0.0-beta1 (2018-02-05)

Grafana v5.0 is going to be the biggest and most foundational release Grafana has ever had, coming with a ton of UX improvements, a new dashboard grid engine, dashboard folders, user teams and permissions. Checkout out this video preview of Grafana v5.

New Major Features

  • Dashboards Dashboard folders, #1611
  • Teams User groups (teams) implemented. Can be used in folder & dashboard permission list.
  • Dashboard grid: Panels are now laid out in a two dimensional grid (with x, y, w, h). #9093.
  • Templating: Vertical repeat direction for panel repeats.
  • UX: Major update to page header and navigation
  • Dashboard settings: Combine dashboard settings views into one with side menu, #9750
  • Persistent dashboard url's: New url's for dashboards that allows renaming dashboards without breaking links. #7883

Breaking changes

  • [dashboard.json] have been replaced with dashboard provisioning. Config files for provisioning data sources as configuration have changed from /conf/datasources to /conf/provisioning/datasources. From /etc/grafana/datasources to /etc/grafana/provisioning/datasources when installed with deb/rpm packages.

  • Pagerduty The notifier now defaults to not auto resolve incidents. More details at #10222

  • HTTP API

    • GET /api/alerts property dashboardUri renamed to url and is now the full url (that is including app sub url).

New Dashboard Grid

The new grid engine is a major upgrade for how you can position and move panels. It enables new layouts and a much easier dashboard building experience. The change is backward compatible. So you can upgrade your current version to 5.0 without breaking dashboards, but you cannot downgrade from 5.0 to previous versions. Grafana will automatically upgrade your dashboards to the new schema and position panels to match your existing layout. There might be minor differences in panel height. If you upgrade to 5.0 and for some reason want to rollback to the previous version you can restore dashboards to previous versions using dashboard history. But that should only be seen as an emergency solution.

Dashboard panels and rows are positioned using a gridPos object {x: 0, y: 0, w: 24, h: 5}. Units are in grid dimensions (24 columns, 1 height unit 30px). Rows and Panels objects exist (together) in a flat array directly on the dashboard root object. Rows are not needed for layouts anymore and are mainly there for backward compatibility. Some panel plugins that do not respect their panel height might require an update.

New Features

  • Elasticsearch: Add ad hoc filters directly by clicking values in table panel #8052.
  • MySQL: New rich query editor with syntax highlighting
  • Prometheus: New rich query editor with syntax highlighting, metric & range auto complete and integrated function docs. #5117

Enhancements

  • Graphite: Calls to Graphite api /metrics/find now include panel or dashboard time range (from & until) in most cases, #8055

  • Graphite: Added new graphite 1.0 functions, available if you set version to 1.0.x in data source settings. New Functions: mapSeries, reduceSeries, isNonNull, groupByNodes, offsetToZero, grep, weightedAverage, removeEmptySeries, aggregateLine, averageOutsidePercentile, delay, exponentialMovingAverage, fallbackSeries, integralByInterval, interpolate, invert, linearRegression, movingMin, movingMax, movingSum, multiplySeriesWithWildcards, pow, powSeries, removeBetweenPercentile, squareRoot, timeSlice, closes #8261

  • Elasticsearch: Ad-hoc filters now use query phrase match filters instead of term filters, works on non keyword/raw fields #9095.

Breaking change

  • InfluxDB/Elasticsearch: The panel & data source option named "Group by time interval" is now named "Min time interval" and does now always define a lower limit for the auto group by time. Without having to use > prefix (that prefix still works). This should in theory have close to zero actual impact on existing dashboards. It does mean that if you used this setting to define a hard group by time interval of, say "1d", if you zoomed to a time range wide enough the time range could increase above the "1d" range as the setting is now always considered a lower limit.
  • Elasticsearch: Elasticsearch metric queries without date histogram now return table formatted data making table panel much easier to use for this use case. Should not break/change existing dashboards with stock panels but external panel plugins can be affected.

Changes

  • InfluxDB: Change time range filter for absolute time ranges to be inclusive instead of exclusive #8319, thx @Oxydros
  • InfluxDB: Added parenthesis around tag filters in queries #9131

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:

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
