Application Real-Time Monitoring Service:New features of Grafana v10.0.x

Last Updated:Mar 11, 2026

Grafana v10.0.x adds new visualization panels, improves dashboard management and navigation, and enhances alerting capabilities.

Note

This page covers selected updates in Grafana v10.0.x. For the complete list, see What's new in Grafana v10.0.

New panels

XY Chart

Create visualizations with line charts and scatter charts using the new XY Chart panels.

XY Chart panel

Trend

Display trends where the x-axis is an incrementing numeric value instead of time. The Trend panel addresses gaps that neither Time Series nor XY Chart panels can solve -- use it for function graphs, RPM or torque curves, and supply-demand relationships.

Trend panel

Datagrid

Edit data directly inside a Grafana dashboard. The Datagrid panel provides a spreadsheet-like interface to fine-tune data from a data source or create new datasets from scratch.

Datagrid panel editing viewDatagrid panel data entry

Edited data is saved as a snapshot and does not update over time.

After saving, select Dashboard from the Data source drop-down list in a new panel to reuse the edited data. You can also transform the edited data in other panels.

Canvas

Build custom visualizations by placing elements in static and dynamic layouts. The Canvas panel goes beyond standard Grafana panels -- layer images, overlay text driven by a data source, and display icons whose colors change in response to live data.

Logs panel enhancements

The Logs panel adds three features in v10.0.x:

FeatureDescription
Log detail actionsCopy log lines and filter to show only selected labels, so you can focus on specific information without leaving the log context section.
Wrap Lines switchWrap long text within the log context section for easier reading and analysis.
Open in split viewRun the context query for a log entry in a split screen in Explore.

To use these features:

  1. Copy log content and toggle Wrap Lines to view long entries.

  2. Click a log entry to display its context. Click Open in split view to open a split screen.

Dashboard improvements

Multi-level folders

Organize large numbers of dashboards hierarchically with multi-level folders.

Important

Moving a subfolder to a new parent folder causes the subfolder to inherit the permissions of the new parent folder.

Multi-level folder structure

Mixed data sources in Explore

Query multiple data sources side by side. In Explore, select Mixed from the Data source drop-down list, then choose a different data source for each query. Results appear on the same page.

Redesigned data source picker

Selecting a data source is faster and more flexible:

FeatureDescription
Advanced pickerClick Open advanced datasource picker to open the Select data source dialog box for a clearer view of available data sources.
File uploadWhen editing or creating a panel, drag a file into the upload area in the Select data source dialog box, or click to browse. Supported formats: CSV, TXT, XLSX, and JSON.

Time regions and annotation filtering

Highlight recurring time periods on Time Series panels. Time regions let you mark specific days of the week (for example, Monday through Friday to show work weeks) or specific hours each day (such as business hours or overnight windows). This helps you quickly identify patterns during those periods.

To add a time region:

  1. Open the dashboard settings and go to the Annotations tab.

  2. Add an annotation and configure the time region.

  3. Apply the annotation.

The following example highlights 15:00 to 19:00 each day:

Time region annotation example

Define different time regions to match your operational schedules:

Custom time regions

Filter annotations by scope -- apply them to all panels, specific panels, or all panels except selected ones:

Navigation updates

Global search

A search box at the top of every page lets you find and jump to any page or recently used dashboard.

Connections page

Manage all data sources from the new Connections page, accessible from the left-side navigation pane.

TabDescription
Add new connectionBrowse all available data source plug-ins. After installing a plug-in, create a data source from its page.
Data sourcesSame functionality as in Grafana v9.0.x.
Important

Installing a plug-in requires an administrator account.

The original menu for creating data sources still works. When you use it, Grafana prompts you to try the Connections page instead.

Breadcrumb navigation

A Breadcrumb component at the top of each page shows your current location. Click any level in the path to navigate back.
