Bug fixes

Breaking changes

Some swagger operations and responses have been renamed to match the respective handler names in order to better highlight their relation. If you use the Swagger specification for generating code, you have to re-generate it and make the necessary adjustments. Issue #52643

The following metrics have been converted to histograms:

  • grafana_datasource_request_total
  • grafana_datasource_request_duration_seconds
  • grafana_datasource_response_size_bytes
  • grafana_datasource_request_in_flight
  • grafana_plugin_request_duration_milliseconds
  • grafana_alerting_rule_evaluation_duration_seconds Issue #50420

In Elasticsearch versions 7.x, to specify the interval-value we used the interval property. In Grafana 9.1.0 we switched to use the fixed_interval property. This makes it to be the same as in Elasticsearch versions 8.x, also this provides a more consistent experience, fixed_interval is a better match to Grafana's time invervals. For most situations this will not cause any visible change to query results. Issue #50297

Grafana now reserves alert labels prefixed with grafana_

Labels prefixed with grafana_ are reserved by Grafana for special use. If a manually configured label is added beginning with grafana_ it may be overwritten in case of collision.

The current list of labels created by Grafana and available for use anywhere manually configured labels are:

Label Description
grafana_folder Title of the folder containing the alert. Issue #50262

In Prometheus, browser access mode was deprecated in Grafana 7.4.0 and removed in 9.0.0. If you used this mode, please switch to server access mode on the datasource configuration page. Issue #50162

Bug fixes

Deprecations

Support for compact Explore URLs is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Until then, when navigating to Explore using the deprecated format the URLs are automatically converted. If you have existing links pointing to Explore update them using the format generated by Explore upon navigation.

You can identify a compact URL by its format. Compact URLs have the left (and optionally right) url parameter as an array of strings, for example &left=["now-1h","now"...]. The standard explore URLs follow a key/value pattern, for example &left={"datasource":"test"...}. Please be sure to check your dashboards for any hardcoded links to Explore and update them to the standard URL pattern. Issue #50873

Breaking changes

The @grafana/ui package helper function selectOptionInTest used in frontend tests has been removed as it caused testing libraries to be bundled in the production code of Grafana. If you were using this helper function in your tests please update your code accordingly:

// before
import { selectOptionInTest } from '@grafana/ui';
// ...test usage
await selectOptionInTest(selectEl, 'Option 2');

// after
import { select } from 'react-select-event';
// ...test usage
await select(selectEl, 'Option 2', { container: document.body });

Issue #50442

Removed deprecated checkHealth prop from the @grafana/e2e addDataSource config. Previously this value defaulted to false, and has not been used in end-to-end tests since Grafana 8.0.3. Issue #50296

Removes the deprecated LegacyBaseMap, LegacyValueMapping, LegacyValueMap, and LegacyRangeMap types, and getMappedValue function from grafana-data. Migration is as follows:

Old New
LegacyBaseMap MappingType
LegacyValueMapping ValueMapping
LegacyValueMap ValueMap
LegacyRangeMap RangeMap
getMappedValue getValueMappingResult

This change fixes a bug in Grafana where intermittent failure of database, network between Grafana and the database, or error in querying the database would cause all alert rules to be unscheduled in Grafana. Following this change scheduled alert rules are not updated unless the query is successful.

The get_alert_rules_duration_seconds metric has been renamed to schedule_query_alert_rules_duration_seconds. Issue #49874

  • Any secret (data sources credential, alert manager credential, etc, etc) created or modified with Grafana v9.0 won't be decryptable from any previous version (by default) because the way encrypted secrets are stored into the database has changed. Although secrets created or modified with previous versions will still be decryptable by Grafana v9.0.

  • If required, although generally discouraged, the disableEnvelopeEncryption feature toggle can be enabled to keep envelope encryption disabled once updating to Grafana v9.0.

  • In case of need to rollback to an earlier version of Grafana (i.e. Grafana v8.x) for any reason, after being created or modified any secret with Grafana v9.0, the envelopeEncryption feature toggle will need to be enabled to keep backwards compatibility (only from v8.3.x a bit unstable, from 8.5.x stable).

  • As a final attempt to deal with issues related with the aforementioned situations, the grafana-cli admin secrets-migration rollback command has been designed to move back all the Grafana secrets encrypted with envelope encryption to legacy encryption. So, after running that command it should be safe to disable envelope encryption and/or roll back to a previous version of Grafana.

  • Alternatively or complementarily to all the points above, backing up the Grafana database before updating could be a good idea to prevent disasters (although the risk of getting some secrets corrupted only applies to those updates/created with after updating to Grafana v9.0). Issue #49301

  • According to the dynamic labels documentation, you can use up to five dynamic values per label. There’s currently no such restriction in the alias pattern system, so if more than 5 patterns are being used the GetMetricData API will return an error.

  • Dynamic labels only allow ${LABEL} to be used once per query. There’s no such restriction in the alias pattern system, so in case more than 1 is being used the GetMetricData API will return an error.

  • When no alias is provided by the user, Grafana will no longer fallback with custom rules for naming the legend.

  • In case a search expression is being used and no data is returned, Grafana will no longer expand dimension values, for instance when using a multi-valued template variable or star wildcard * in the dimension value field. Ref https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/20729

  • Time series might be displayed in a different order. Using for example the dynamic label ${PROP('MetricName')}, might have the consequence that the time series are returned in a different order compared to when the alias pattern {{metric}} is used

Issue #49173

In Elasticsearch, browser access mode was deprecated in grafana 7.4.0 and removed in 9.0.0. If you used this mode, please switch to server access mode on the datasource configuration page. Issue #49014

Environment variables passed from Grafana to external Azure plugins have been renamed:

  • AZURE_CLOUD renamed to GFAZPL_AZURE_CLOUD
  • AZURE_MANAGED_IDENTITY_ENABLED renamed to GFAZPL_MANAGED_IDENTITY_ENABLED
  • AZURE_MANAGED_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID renamed to GFAZPL_MANAGED_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID

There are no known plugins which were relying on these variables. Moving forward plugins should read Azure settings only via Grafana Azure SDK which properly handles old and new environment variables. Issue #48954

Removes support for for ElasticSearch versions after their end-of-life, currently versions < 7.10.0. To continue to use ElasticSearch data source, upgrade ElasticSearch to version 7.10.0+. Issue #48715

Application Insights and Insight Analytics queries in Azure Monitor were deprecated in Grafana 8.0 and finally removed in 9.0. Deprecated queries will no longer be executed. Please refer to the documentation for more information about this change.

Issue #48328

grafana/ui: Button now specifies a default type="button"

The Button component provided by @grafana/ui now specifies a default type="button" when no type is provided. In previous versions, if the attribute was not specified for buttons associated with a <form> the default value was submit per the specification

You can preserve the old behavior by explicitly setting the type attribute: <Button type="submit" />

Github Issue #41863. Issue #48183

The Rename by regex transformation has been improved to allow global patterns of the form /<stringToReplace>/g. Depending on the regex match used, this may cause some transformations to behave slightly differently. You can guarantee the same behaviour as before by wrapping the match string in forward slashes (/), e.g. (.*) would become /(.*)/ Issue #48179

<Select /> menus will now portal to the document body by default. This is to give more consistent behaviour when positioning and overlaying. If you were setting menuShouldPortal={true} before you can safely remove that prop and behaviour will be the same. If you weren't explicitly setting that prop, there should be no visible changes in behaviour but your tests may need updating. Please see the original PR (https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/36398) for migration guides. If you were setting menuShouldPortal={false} this will continue to prevent the menu from portalling.

Issue #48176

Grafana alerting endpoint prefixed with api/v1/rule/test that tests a rule against a Corte/Loki data source now expects the data source UID as a path parameter instead of the data source numeric identifier. Issue #48070

Grafana alerting endpoints prefixed with api/prometheus/ that proxy requests to a Cortex/Loki data source now expect the data source UID as a path parameter instead of the data source numeric identifier. Issue #48052

Grafana alerting endpoints prefixed with api/ruler/ that proxy requests to a Cortex/Loki data source now expect the data source UID as a path parameter instead of the data source numeric identifier. Issue #48046

Grafana alerting endpoints prefixed with api/alertmanager/ that proxy requests to an Alertmanager now expect the data source UID as a path parameter instead of the data source numeric identifier. Issue #47978

The format of log messages have been updated, lvl is now level and erorand dbug has been replaced with error and debug. The precision of timestamps has been increased. To smooth the transition, it is possible to opt-out of the new log format by enabling the feature toggle oldlog. This option will be removed in a future minor release. Issue #47584

In the Loki data source, the dataframe format used to represent Loki logs-data has been changed to a more efficient format. The query-result is represented by a single dataframe with a "labels" column, instead of the separate dataframes for every labels-value. When displaying such data in explore, or in a logs-panel in the dashboard will continue to work without changes, but if the data was loaded into a different dashboard-panel, or Transforms were used, adjustments may be necessary. For example, if you used the "labels to fields" transformation with the logs data, please switch to the "extract fields" transformation. Issue #47153

Deprecations

setExploreQueryField, setExploreMetricsQueryField and setExploreLogsQueryField are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. If you need to set a different query editor for Explore, conditionally render based on props.app in your regular query editor. Please refer to https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/plugins/add-support-for-explore-queries/ for more information. Issue #48701

The configuration options auth.login_maximum_inactive_lifetime_days and auth.login_maximum_lifetime_days were deprecated in Grafana v7.2.0 and have now been removed. Use login_maximum_inactive_lifetime_duration and login_maximum_lifetime_duration to customize the maximum lifetime of a login session. Issue #49944

Removed the deprecated isFocused and isInvalid props from the InlineLabel component. These props haven't done anything for a while, so migration is just a matter of removing the props. Issue #49929

Removed the deprecated onColorChange prop from ColorPicker. Moving forward the onChange prop should be used. Issue #49923

/api/tsdb/query API has been removed. Use /api/ds/query instead. Issue #49916

onClipboardCopy and onClipboardError APIs have been changed such that the callback's argument is just the text that's been copied rather than the old ClipboardEvent interface. Migration should just be a matter of going from

<ClipboardButton

Drop support for deprecated setting ldap_sync_ttl under [auth.proxy] Only sync_ttl will work from now on Issue #49902

Removes the deprecated link variant from the Button component. To migrate, replace any usage of variant="link" with fill="text". Issue #49843

Removes the deprecated surface prop from the IconButton component. This prop hasn't actually done anything for a while, so it should be safe to just remove any instances of its usage. Issue #49715

Removes the deprecated TextDisplayOptions export from @grafana/data in favor of VizTextDisplayOptions from @grafana/schema. To migrate, just replace usage of TextDisplayOptions with VizTextDisplayOptions. Issue #49705

Removed support for the deprecated getColorForTheme(color: string, theme: GrafanaTheme) function in favor of the theme.visualization.getColorByName(color: string) method. The output of this method is identical to the removed function, so migration should just be a matter of rewriting calls of getColorForTheme(myColor, myTheme) to myTheme.visualization.getColorByName(myColor). Issue #49519

In the Prometheus data source, for consistency and performance reasons, we changed how we represent NaN (not a number) values received from Prometheus. In the past versions, we converted these to null in the frontend (for dashboard and explore), and kept as NaN in the alerting path. Starting with this version, we will always keep it as NaN. This change should be mostly invisible for the users. Issue #49475

Plugins using custom Webpack configs could potentially break due to the changes between webpack@4 and webpack@5. Please refer to the official migration guide for assistance.

Webpack 5 does not include polyfills for node.js core modules by default (e.g. buffer, stream, os). This can result in failed builds for plugins. If polyfills are required it is recommended to create a custom webpack config in the root of the plugin repo and add the required fallbacks:

// webpack.config.js

module.exports.getWebpackConfig = (config, options) => ({
  ...config,
  resolve: {
    ...config.resolve,
    fallback: {
      os: require.resolve('os-browserify/browser'),
      stream: require.resolve('stream-browserify'),
      timers: require.resolve('timers-browserify'),
    },
  },
});

Please refer to the webpack build error messages or the official migration guide for assistance with fallbacks.

Special notes for your reviewer:

It does not bump the following dependencies to the very latest due to the latest versions being ES modules:

  • ora
  • globby
  • execa
  • chalk Issue #47826

We have changed the internals of backendSrv.fetch() to throw an error when the response is an incorrect JSON.

// PREVIOUSLY: this was returning with an empty object {} - in case the response is an invalid JSON
return await getBackendSrv().post(`${API_ROOT}/${id}/install`);

// AFTER THIS CHANGE: the following will throw an error - in case the response is an invalid JSON
return await getBackendSrv().post(`${API_ROOT}/${id}/install`);

When is the response handled as JSON?

  • If the response has the "Content-Type: application/json" header, OR
  • If the backendSrv options (BackendSrvRequest) specify the response as JSON: { responseType: 'json' }

How does it work after this change?

  • In case it is recognised as a JSON response and the response is empty, it returns an empty object {}
  • In case it is recognised as a JSON response and it has formatting errors, it throws an error

How to migrate? Make sure to handle possible errors on the callsite where using backendSrv.fetch() (or any other backendSrv methods). Issue #47493

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.

Bug fixes

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

N/A in the "With Existing Legacy Alerts" column means that it does not matter if you have legacy alerts or not. Issue #42200

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

The access mode "browser" is deprecated in the following data sources and will be removed in a later release:

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.

Potential failure to start in Ubuntu 18.04 / Debian 9 / CentOS

  • In Grafana v8.2.0, this change can prevent the grafana-server service from starting on older versions of systemd, present on Ubuntu 18.04 and slightly older versions of Debian. If running one of those versions, please wait until v8.2.1 is released before upgrading. If you still want to upgrade or have already ugpraded, a simple fix is available here: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/40162#issuecomment-938060240 Issue #38109

Breaking changes

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

Breaking changes

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

The mandatory css prop in grafana/ui components has been removed.

Previous versions of grafana/ui components were typed incorrectly due to a dependency mismatch between emotion 10 and 11 causing a css prop to be added to components that extended react types. Issue #38078

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

Deprecations

getHighlighterExpressions in datasource APIs ( used to highlight logs while editing queries) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Deprecation notice

ExploreQueryFieldProps interface for query editors has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use QueryEditorProps instead. Issue #38942

Bug fixes

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.

Breaking changes

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

Breaking changes

The workspaces() template variable, mainly for use with Azure Monitor Logs, has been changed to return resource URIs instead of Log Analytics Workspaces GUIDs. 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.
