Breaking changes

Fix No Data behaviour in Legacy Alerting

• In Grafana 8.2.5 and later, this change fixes a bug in the evaluation of alert rules when using the AND operator to compare two or more conditions. In Grafana 8.2.4 and earlier such alert rules would evaluate to OK if at least one, but not all, conditions returned no data. This change fixes that bug such that in Grafana 8.2.5 these alert rules now evaluate to No Data. If an alert should evaluate to OK when one or all conditions return No Data then this can be done via changing If no data or all values are null to OK. However, this will not preserve the old behaviour in 8.2.4 where an alert will be OK if at least one, but not all, conditions return no data and then No Data if all conditions return No Data.

Breaking changes

Grafana v8.2.0-beta1 caused data loss for users having enabled ngalert in 8.0.x - 8.1.x and created alerts using the new alerting system. This issue is now fixed except if the deployment has multiple organizations and the feature flag was enabled in the previous version (8.0.x - 8.1.x).

In this scenario (upgrade from 8.0.x - 8.1.x with multiple organizations and ngalert enabled to 8.2.0-beta2), the migration will assign existing notification policies and contact points to the first organization and then apply the default alertmanager configuration to all organizations. This will effectively reset notification policies for all organizations. Issue #39541

Deprecations

ngalert feature toggle it has been deprecated it will be removed in a future release. To enable Grafana 8 alerts, modify your configuration and:

• in the unified_alerting section set the enabled property to true
• in the alerting section set the enabled property to false Issue #38746

Breaking changes

The monaco-editor dependency in grafana-ui has been updated to a newer version (0.27.0), which is not completely backward compatible with the old version (0.21.2). The backward incompatible changes are fairly small, but they do exist, so if your code accesses the raw monaco-objects through the grafana-ui package, please check the monaco-editor changelog and apply any necessary changes. Issue #39027

The mandatory css prop in grafana/ui components has been removed.

Previous versions of grafana/ui components were typed incorrectly due to a dependency mismatch between emotion 10 and 11 causing a css prop to be added to components that extended react types.
Issue #38078

Panel queries and/or annotation queries that used more than one statistic will be converted into one query/annotation per statistic. In case an alerting rule was based on a query row that had more than one statistic, it would now be based only on the first statistic for that query row. New alerting rules will not be created for migrated queries. Please note that in most cases it would not make sense to have an alerting rule that is based on multiple statistics anyway. Issue #36925

Deprecations

getHighlighterExpressions in datasource APIs ( used to highlight logs while editing queries) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Deprecation notice

ExploreQueryFieldProps interface for query editors has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use QueryEditorProps instead. Issue #38942

Breaking changes

When parsing Elasticsearch query responses using template variables, each field gets named after the variable value instead of the name.
For example, executing a terms aggregation on a variable named $groupBy that has @hostname as a value, the resulting column in the table response will be @hostname instead of $groupBy Issue #36035

Azure Monitor data source no longer supports different credentials for Metrics and Logs in existing data sources. To use different credentials for Azure Monitor Logs, create another data source. Issue #35121

Existing Azure Metrics Logs queries for Log Analytics Workspaces should be backward compatible with this change and should not get impacted. Panels will be migrated to use the new resource-centric backend when you first edit and save them.

Application Insights and Insights Analytics queries are now read-only and cannot be modified. To update Application Insights queries, users can manually recreate them as Metrics queries, and Insights Analytics are recreated with Logs.
