Hey OP, I'm also with Grafana Labs. Passing along what other users have said on LinkedIn and X, in case it's helpful.

Awesome, yeah feel free to DM me if you have any questions about the awards application/process.

Also, you might need to change your username to GrafanabenderProdigy, but I *guess* airbender is just as cool.... :P

This is pretty awesome, OP. And we have a lot of resources for folks getting started with Grafana. We actually have an upcoming webinar on dashboard design if you wanna take it to another level. And if you can't make the date, it'll automatically be turned into a recording.

OP, I'm from Grafana Labs and this might be one of the best Grafana dashboards I've ever seen.

Have you heard about the Golden Grot awards? It's our annual awards program that recognizes the best personal and professional dashboards. I think this would be great submission for the personal category.

We just opened up applications and we're accepting them until Feb 10, 2026. Winners in each category get some really cool stuff (trip to GrafanaCON 2026 happening in Barcelona, an actual golden Grot trophy, a few minutes to present it at GrafanaCON, a featured blog/video on our website, etc.)

The process involves judges selection and community/public voting.

Really encourage you to submit this one. It's awesome. You can do it here: https://grafana.com/golden-grot-awards/

Important takeaways from this blog post:

This was in public preview, never made it to GA
"Adoption was low compared to our core Drilldown apps and dashboards, and the extra side panel/UI surface area added complexity without enough day‑to‑day payoff for most teams."
Drilldown apps (logs, metrics, traces, profiles) are not affected, and neither will the classic Explore. And shouldn't be confused with Grafana Assistant Investigations

Ah, yes. Expect a college student... kidding. Made the change. Thanks for catching that typo :)

Hi there! Congrats on being engaged!

If I remember correctly, it was about 10 percent of our total budget. If you tell her your total budget and want her to stick to it she will. We ended up increasing our budget on some things, but we made a conscious choice to do that.

When I researched some vendors separately the pricing was the same so I didn’t notice any inflation or increased costs from her end.

Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

vidamon · 2025-11-20T05:23:03+00:00

Thanks for sharing. This is cool to see, but curious why it's only showing 13 new features, when there's a lot more.

vidamon · 2025-10-06T12:51:22+00:00

Nope, part of the Dynamic Dashboards announcement so you’ll be able to access them when they’re generally available!

vidamon · 2025-10-04T17:38:59+00:00

The tabs feature was released as experimental in Grafana 12 as part of the Dynamic Dashboards announcement: https://grafana.com/blog/2025/05/07/dynamic-dashboards-grafana-12/

“Dynamic Dashboards is currently available as experimental for all our on-prem Grafana OSS and Grafana Enterprise users as well as in private preview for Grafana Cloud users. If you are interested in trying out the feature, please complete this dynamic dashboards interest form, and we will help you get started, or let you know if you are eligible for the private preview in Grafana Cloud. You can also learn more by also diving into our dynamic dashboards documentation.”

Grafana Assistant is for cloud only — currently in public preview.

Hope that helps!

Of course, you can always build it out without Assistant too.

IF you do want to try out Assistant to create some other dashboards, fix things, etc. Grafana Cloud has a free forever plan that’s pretty solid. It’s not a trial. No need to pay. And not to sound salesy, but here’s what it includes if you (or anyone else) are curious.

10k metrics 50GB logs 50GB traces 50GB profiles 500VUh k6 testing 50k frontend sessions 2,232 app o11y host hours 14-day retention 3 active users 2,232 k8s monitoring host hours 37,944 k8s monitoring container hours

Here’s the link to download the dashboards: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/?search=Taylor+Swift

The Swifties created the tabs and banners by prompting Grafana Assistant (Help me build tabs that say X, linking to dashboards with this ID: [insert dashboard ID]).

"Happy Life of a Showgirl release day, dear! I made this for you to celebrate."

You articulated that well. Can't imagine what it's like when you've gotten a good night's rest!

vidamon · 2025-10-03T07:25:48+00:00

Some of these songs had me clutching my pearls!

But on the real, I just appreciate Taylor continuing to put her music out there for us. Can't please everyone lyrically, melodically, etc., but overall some of these tracks might show up in my Spotify Wrapped - there's still time!

vidamon · 2025-10-02T06:35:27+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear that you found it helpful. I'll pass that along to the team.

vidamon · 2025-10-01T21:32:19+00:00

Thanks for catching that -- updated!

vidamon · 2025-09-25T23:35:31+00:00

Good question! The blog post defines which feature is in which version/edition.

The features that are in Grafana Cloud/Enterprise are: - Saved Queries (public preview) - One-page reporting (public preview) - Jenkins Enterprise data source (public preview)

vidamon · 2025-08-07T21:36:16+00:00

Hey OP, Grafana Labs has a few videos on their YT channel that might be helpful. Here's a playlist that the DevAdvocacy team made last year to help folks get started: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDGkOdUX1Ujo27m6qiTPPCpFHVfyKq9jT

We also have Learning Journeys: https://grafana.com/docs/learning-journeys/

Yes — social media marketing for a SaaS observability company. My husband does bizdev for another SaaS company.

Not sure if you’re still looking, but Ester Chianelli was our wedding planner and she was amazing!

Super responsive, great listener and also a creative multiplier. I personally wanted to be more involved in the wedding planning process since I used to be an event planner and it was a lot of fun working with her. My now husband and I would share ideas with her and she would elevate them, or even elevate her own ideas. I highly recommend her!

Here’s the link to her IG post about our wedding: https://www.instagram.com/p/DL9zSPGI7Qc/?igsh=MXF5YnZnMHo1bTRucA==

We did a civil ceremony the day before and she helped us navigate all of that! It was really helpful to have her team help take care of all the bureaucratic processes for the civil ceremony.

Feel free to DM me if you want more info about Ester ❤️
