What’s new with Grafana and InfluxDB - Recap!
USAGE ANALYTICS
Helps large companies
get better insight into the
behavior and utilization
of their users, dashboards,
and data sources
UNIFIED DATA MODEL
Viz can come from
data/context, not manual.
Smart viz based on data
(min/max/mean graphs,
etc). Basic BI.
TRACING
Add trace UI to show traces
from tracing data sources and
Jaeger datasource within Loki
to reduce mean time to
resolution
CUSTOM TIME FORMATS
AND TIME ZONE
SELECTION
Better UZ and viz options. Better
selection of viz with live
previews.
NEW VIS AND PANEL EDITING
Enhanced UX and visualization
options for better consistency and
usability including a new table
panel, a new grid layout engine and
an improved experience for editing
panels
NEW TABLE AND GRAPH
PANELS
Move to React enables more
reusability of components,
scaling of multiple stats. New
single stat and bar graph already
available
PLUGINS PLATFORM
Advanced platform so
users can easily create
new Plugins faster and
more efficiently
AWS CLOUDWATCH
LOGS
Added support for AWS
CloudWatch Logs
TRANSFORMATIONS
The new Transformations
capabilities allow users to go
beyond data visualization and
transform all types of data

6.
Unified Data Model
A new unified data model makes Grafana more consistent and easier to use because it provides users with
a consistent way to define data sources, conventions, user defaults, and override rules
Previous Versions of Grafana
Each visualization had slightly different ways to define options
Singlestat
Options
Table
Override
Rules
Graph
Thresholds
Grafana 7.0
Consistent UI for specifying override rules and is extensible for custom panel specific options

7.
Transformations
Now that we have the same representation of data regardless of the underlying data source, we can
manipulate and combine that data in sensible ways
Apply a
transformation
!
Define labels in a database Labels appear in the table as fields
