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 datasources 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.

• Elasticsearch: Add ad hoc filters directly by clicking values in table panel #8052.
• MySQL: New rich query editor with syntax highlighting

• GitHub OAuth: Support for GitHub organizations with 100+ teams. #8846, thx @skwashd
• 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

• Templating: You cannot select data source variables as data source for other template variables #7510

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)

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).
