Amazon Managed Grafana Update

Amazon Managed Grafana now supports creating new workspaces with Grafana version 12.4. This release includes features from open source Grafana versions 11.0 to 12.4, such as Drilldown apps, scenes-powered dashboards, variables in transformations, visualization enhancements, and new features with the Amazon CloudWatch plugin.

Queryless Drilldown apps allow for point-and-click exploration of Prometheus metrics, Loki logs, Tempo traces, and Pyroscope profiles. The Scenes-powered rendering engine improves dashboard performance. Amazon CloudWatch Logs now supports PPL and SQL queries, cross-account Metrics Insights, and log anomaly detection. The rebuilt table visualization enhances performance with CSS cell styling and interactive Actions buttons, while trendline transformations and navigation bookmarks improve data exploration.

Grafana 12.4 is available in all AWS regions where Amazon Managed Grafana is generally available.

  • Refer to the user documentation for the complete list of new features.
  • Follow the instructions here to create workspaces with version 12.4.
