grafana - v5.0.0

Published by daniellee over 6 years ago

Grafana v5.0 is going to be the biggest and most foundational release Grafana has ever had, coming with a ton of UX improvements, a new dashboard grid engine, dashboard folders, user teams and permissions. Checkout out this video preview of Grafana v5 and the What's New section in the docs for an overview of new features.

New Major Features

Dashboards Dashboard folders, #1611
Teams User groups (teams) implemented. Can be used in folder & dashboard permission list.
Dashboard grid: Panels are now layed out in a two dimensional grid (with x, y, w, h). #9093.
Templating: Vertical repeat direction for panel repeats.
UX: Major update to page header and navigation
Dashboard settings: Combine dashboard settings views into one with side menu, #9750
Persistent dashboard url's: New url's for dashboards that allows renaming dashboards without breaking links. #7883

New Dashboard Grid

The new grid engine is a major upgrade for how you can position and move panels. It enables new layouts and a much easier dashboard building experience. The change is backward compatible. So you can upgrade your current version to 5.0 without breaking dashboards, but you cannot downgrade from 5.0 to previous versions. Grafana will automatically upgrade your dashboards to the new schema and position panels to match your existing layout. There might be minor differences in panel height. If you upgrade to 5.0 and for some reason want to rollback to the previous version you can restore dashboards to previous versions using dashboard history. But that should only be seen as an emergency solution.

Dashboard panels and rows are positioned using a gridPos object {x: 0, y: 0, w: 24, h: 5}. Units are in grid dimensions (24 columns, 1 height unit 30px). Rows and Panels objects exist (together) in a flat array directly on the dashboard root object. Rows are not needed for layouts anymore and are mainly there for backward compatibility. Some panel plugins that do not respect their panel height might require an update.

New Major Features

Dashboards Dashboard folders, #1611
Teams User groups (teams) implemented. Can be used in folder & dashboard permission list.
Dashboard grid: Panels are now layed out in a two dimensional grid (with x, y, w, h). #9093.
Templating: Vertical repeat direction for panel repeats.
UX: Major update to page header and navigation
Dashboard settings: Combine dashboard settings views into one with side menu, #9750
Persistent dashboard url's: New url's for dashboards that allows renaming dashboards without breaking links. #7883

Breaking changes

[dashboard.json] have been replaced with dashboard provisioning.
Config files for provisioning datasources as configuration have changed from /conf/datasources to /conf/provisioning/datasources.
From /etc/grafana/datasources to /etc/grafana/provisioning/datasources when installed with deb/rpm packages.
Pagerduty The notifier now defaults to not auto resolve incidents. More details at #10222
HTTP API
- GET /api/alerts property dashboardUri renamed to url and is now the full url (that is including app sub url).

New Dashboard Grid

The new grid engine is a major upgrade for how you can position and move panels. It enables new layouts and a much easier dashboard building experience. The change is backward compatible. So you can upgrade your current version to 5.0 without breaking dashboards, but you cannot downgrade from 5.0 to previous versions. Grafana will automatically upgrade your dashboards to the new schema and position panels to match your existing layout. There might be minor differences in panel height. If you upgrade to 5.0 and for some reason want to rollback to the previous version you can restore dashboards to previous versions using dashboard history. But that should only be seen as an emergency solution.

Dashboard panels and rows are positioned using a gridPos object {x: 0, y: 0, w: 24, h: 5}. Units are in grid dimensions (24 columns, 1 height unit 30px). Rows and Panels objects exist (together) in a flat array directly on the dashboard root object. Rows are not needed for layouts anymore and are mainly there for backward compatibility. Some panel plugins that do not respect their panel height might require an update.
