From production problem to proposed fix: Implement autonomous operations with Grafana AI

You've just finished a deployment, and though your service is up, you start to notice some requests are getting slower. To address the lag, someone—or, more likely, some group of people on your team—needs to watch the dashboards, decide whether the change matters, investigate what happened, and turn the findings into a fix.  At each step you're gathering context—and often explaining that context again to the next person or tool. To make matters worse for the team responsible for the service, all

Break the link between data volume and your observability bill with Adaptive Telemetry

In the AI era, where telemetry is generated by every model call, tool invocation, and agent step, organizations need more help than ever when it comes to navigating the economics of observability. For a lot of teams, the default response is a "data diet" of shorter retention, which leaves services or environments out of collection, or basic sampling, which is more guesswork than strategy. Either way, you end up cutting to control the bill, and you risk losing the very data you need during an inc

Full-stack observability in Grafana Cloud: More connections, richer context, and faster investigations for users and agents

Most teams have telemetry from across their stack, but connecting those signals to understand what's happening and how it affects users isn't always easy. Critical context about service dependencies, ownership, and past incidents often lives across tools, runbooks, and conversations between team members. That’s why, today at ObservabilityCON 2026, we’re announcing new capabilities that advance full-stack observability across Grafana Cloud. Powering this experience is the Knowledge Graph, the run

Expand what’s possible with Grafana: The Grafana Marketplace is now generally available

Earlier this year, we launched the Grafana Marketplace, a platform that gives independent software vendors, systems integrators, and developers in the Grafana community a new way to sell and distribute plugins built for Grafana. The Marketplace builds on our existing plugin catalog by enabling third-party partners and developers to earn revenue from their plugins and invest further in their development. For end users, these paid Marketplace plugins come with guarantees for ongoing updates and su

Grafana Pages: Turn data into interactive experiences with the next evolution of Grafana

Teams often spend as much time preparing information as discussing it: gathering charts, checking business reports, and finding the GitHub activity that explains a change. Every follow-up question can lead to yet another round of work.  That's why, as part of ObservabilityCON 2026, we're excited to introduce Grafana Pages, a new feature in Grafana Cloud that gives you a canvas to describe what you need and build a live app in minutes, based on your real data, context, and interactions.

Discover tools at runtime with AWS Agent Registry

Hardcoded tool wiring breaks down as an agent's catalog grows from a handful of tools to hundreds. This post walks through a runtime Discover, Instantiate, Execute loop built on AWS Agent Registry, where an orchestrator discovers MCP servers and A2A agents through semantic search at runtime instead of compiling every tool at build time.
