I had the great pleasure to give a presentation about our partnership with Google to offer Grafana for internal observability today at GrafanaCon with Katia Giarda from Google monitoring #GrafanaCon2026

We've been cookin'... 🍳 #Grafana 13. Loki evolution. Grafana Assistant for self-managed users. #AI Observability in public preview. We can't fit all of the #GrafanaCON 2026 announcements in 1 tweet! See them all: grafana.com/blog/grafana...

I can see the prompts now. "Please stop this DDoS attack and recover our customer's stolen data"

Incidents happen because people do things that have always worked successfully, up until the incident. Doing something that always worked in the past is completely rational!

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

Stop. Breathe. Listen. Say little. There is nothing you can say that will alter the course of this conversation to your benefit. Sign nothing in that meeting. Your former employer just became the adverse party; don't take legal advice from them.

I'm at Elysian Brewing for the Grafana conference speaker happy hour and there's a beer that this brewery makes called "Prometheus" but THEY'RE OUT OF IT. C'mon.

It’s GrafanaCon time!! Boarding my flight to Seattle right now. Last year was a blast and we have so many new additions this year. Hope to see you there!!

You can now export a rich set of metrics to Prometheus, unlocking more options for you to monitor your database with tools like Grafana, Datadog, and New Relic.

At this rate we're only a couple weeks away from hoarding toilet paper again. Lots of type II fun ahead of us.

Just finished listen to Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams and its something you don't want to miss!

I hope to see you there!

🧡 Happy Valentine's Day! Sending our love to the maintainers, contributors, and users who make open source stronger every day. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Open source thrives, Because of you! Grot has written a few extra love notes for their friends at GitHub, Golang, and Linux.

On my way to FOSDEM! Swing by out booth if you have any questions about Grafana, Mimir, Loki, Pyropscope, Bayla, Faro :)

The #GrafanaCON 2025 #CFP closes on Jan 30! Need some inspiration or advice as you fill out your application? Hear from our CFP judges and GrafanaCON co-chairs Mihaela Maior and Carl Bergquist as they answer some FAQs and share tips.

Expose metrics from a Typesense cluster for monitoring and alerting purposes with the new light Typesense Prometheus exporter written in Go. #typesense #golang

There's something so much fun about watching someone go 100% talking about something they're passionate about. Jumping all over the place, tripping over their words because they just love this shit so much and they want to tell the world.

To be clear: as a non-technical manager, it's virtually impossible to distinguish between a less experienced engineer who is missing basic skills and thus unacceptably slow with work that is poor quality, vs one that is digging deep and doing things "proper" and w high quality

Hi Bluesky peeps! 🎄 As we wrap up the year, I hope everyone gets to enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Even our beloved Grafana mascot Grot is looking forward to some downtime! Wishing you all a wonderful break and a refreshing start to the new year. #grafana #grafanagrot #grafanalabs

Today at 14:00 UTC we will be revamping the Grafana community call. Hosted by @davkal.bsky.social @matryer.bsky.social and me. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

GrafanaCon 2025 will be in Seattle! Save the date :) grafana.com/events/grafa...

I had a lot of fun talking about optimising and sustainability, with @halvarflake.bsky.social and Niki and @tomwilkie.bsky.social. bigtent.fm/s2/8

71 Submissions to the FOSDEM2025 Monitoring & Observability devroom! Time to start reviewing :)

Google docs now support "copy as markdown". Probably the best software innovation this year.

Have something monitoring and observability related that you want to talk about during FOSDEM? Go submit!

If you haven't read up on bluesky's architecture, you can find a high level description in this paper arxiv.org/abs/2402.03239 The tech looks great and I hope the company has/will find a good business model as well :)
