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

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.

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.


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:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Log detail actions | Copy log lines and filter to show only selected labels, so you can focus on specific information without leaving the log context section. |
| Wrap Lines switch | Wrap long text within the log context section for easier reading and analysis. |
| Open in split view | Run the context query for a log entry in a split screen in Explore. |
To use these features:
Copy log content and toggle Wrap Lines to view long entries.
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.
Moving a subfolder to a new parent folder causes the subfolder to inherit the permissions of the new parent folder.

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:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Advanced picker | Click Open advanced datasource picker to open the Select data source dialog box for a clearer view of available data sources. |
| File upload | When 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:
Open the dashboard settings and go to the Annotations tab.
Add an annotation and configure the time region.
Apply the annotation.
The following example highlights 15:00 to 19:00 each day:

Define different time regions to match your operational schedules:

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.

| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Add new connection | Browse all available data source plug-ins. After installing a plug-in, create a data source from its page. |
| Data sources | Same functionality as in Grafana v9.0.x. |
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.

Chinese language support
Set the interface language to Chinese from the Default Preference tab on the Administration page.
Alerting enhancements
Notification template preview
Preview alert notifications after defining a notification template to verify formatting and content before alerts trigger.

Duplicate alert rules
Create a new alert rule by copying an existing one. This speeds up setup when you need multiple similar rules.
Export alert rules
Click Export to export all alert rules at once.
