Grafana 7.0 Released: New UX, Plugin Platform, Transformations & CloudWatch Support
Grafana 7.0 introduces a revamped user experience, a unified data model, a new plugin platform, Jaeger tracing support, powerful data transformations, AWS CloudWatch Logs integration, and enterprise usage analytics, offering enhanced visualization and monitoring capabilities across major data sources.
Grafana 7.0 has been officially released. Grafana is a feature‑rich metric dashboard and graph editor for analyzing and monitoring data sources such as Graphite, Elasticsearch, OpenTSDB, Prometheus and InfluxDB.
Update highlights include:
UX enhancements and unified data model: improved user experience and visualization options, new table panel, new grid layout engine, and better panel‑editing experience. Visualizations now use specific data configurations (min/max/average) for consistency across Grafana.
Plugin platform: enables users to create new plugins quickly and efficiently.
Tracing: adds support for Jaeger datasource; traceID in Loki can reduce average resolution time.
Transformations: new transformation feature allows users to transform all types of data.
Checks and export: new data‑check functionality lets users view, export (CSV) and perform simple transformations such as pivot and join on the underlying source data of a panel.
AWS CloudWatch Logs: support for AWS CloudWatch Logs has been added.
Usage analysis and status: an enterprise feature that helps companies gain deeper insight into user, dashboard and datasource behavior and utilization.
