Grafana Labs is announcing the release of Grafana 10 and kicking off celebrations for the open source project’s 10-year anniversary. The celebrations will include the annual GrafanaCON community conference and GrafanaCON Local Meetups in more than 20 cities around the world this week, and the release of a documentary, chronicling the journey of the Grafana community, later this year. A teaser is being released today at GrafanaCON.

Grafana 10 offers an enhanced onboarding experience that makes it possible for new users to install Grafana, set up data sources, and create their first dashboard in minutes.

This release includes a new suite of advanced features emphasizing efficiency and intuitive navigation, and improvements in user authorization and resource organization that enable swift data retrieval.

Enhanced security and scalability are integral to Grafana 10. Highlights include an expanded Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system and streamlined SAML authentication setup. Grafana Cloud now offers a secure way to connect to your on-prem and cloud-hosted data sources, securely unifying data that is distributed across your hybrid infrastructure.

Team collaboration is another central theme in Grafana 10. Updates to the public dashboard feature enable knowledge sharing with external stakeholders. Plus, with the Correlations feature, you can seamlessly pivot and link between disparate data sources, making it easier than ever to create a unified view of your entire data landscape and accelerate troubleshooting.

As Grafana hits its 10-year anniversary, the most popular and ubiquitous visualization technology for observability has reached new milestones.

Grafana has surpassed 20 million users. There are now Grafana plugins for more than 150 data sources, both open source and commercial. In the Grafana Labs 2023 Observability Survey, 38 percent of respondents said they have more than 7 data sources configured in Grafana.

Grafana Cloud is also available across all the major cloud providers: AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Azure Marketplace and Google Cloud Marketplace. Additionally, Grafana Labs has partnerships with Tencent Cloud and Alibaba Cloud for managed Grafana offerings in the Asia-Pacific region.
