It’s 12.1 time! We’re really excited about GA for a new alert rule page that makes it easier to find what you need quickly, as well as the regression analysis transformation, helping you predict future data values or estimate missing data points that might not be exactly represented in the original dataset. Also, visualization actions now support custom variables. When triggered, actions prompt you to input whatever custom variable was defined, allowing you to tailor requests in real time without modifying dashboard configuration. This is super helpful for when you’re triggering alerts, filtering API calls, or sending user-defined parameters to external systems. And you can try out Grafana Advisor, which automatically detects plugin, data source, and SSO issues, keeping your Grafana instance healthy and secure.
Speaking of security, Grafana now supports Entra Workload Identity, simplifying OAuth and increasing security for instances using Microsoft Azure. Thanks to community contributor mehighlow for this feature!
We have one more community contributor to thank for this release. Chris Hodges delivered server-configurable quick time ranges for dashboards. Now you can define custom time range presets for the time picker on dashboards, perfect for teams that routinely analyze specific, context-driven time windows.
Keep reading to learn about what else we have in store for 12.1.

Introducing LogicMonitor data source plugin.
The LogicMonitor Devices data source plugin enables you to query and visualize Device Instance Data, and to list Devices, Datasources, and Instances directly within Grafana. Available in public preview in Grafana Cloud and all supported versions of self-managed Grafana Enterprise.
For better security, Google advises using Service Account Tokens with Service Account Impersonation. If a Service Account Token is ever compromised, it can’t be used to access Google Cloud APIs without the associated service account for impersonation, making it much harder for unauthorized access. This added security layer is now supported in the BigQuery data source configuration.
The Grafana Advisor is designed to help Grafana server administrators keep their instances running smoothly, securely and in keeping with best practices.
It performs a series of periodic checks against your Grafana instance to highlight issues requiring the server administrator’s attention.
The alert rule page has received a total redesign. The new page features a smoother, faster, and more flexible design to help make your alert rule management easier.
Mute Timings have been renamed to Active Time Intervals to better align with their usage.
Apply this transformation to any dataset to add a trendline as a new series, fitted to your data using linear regression. This allows you to infer what the data was at a point that may not be exactly represented in the original dataset, or plot predicted values in the future. Trendlines are great for spotting patterns in fluctuating or inconsistent time series. This transformation is extra useful because trendlines can be styled and used just like any other series in your visualization. The Trendline transformation supports both linear and polynomial regression models.
We’re excited to announce that you can now define custom variables within visualization actions. When you trigger an action (such as an API request), you’ll be prompted to provide input for those variables. This makes actions more dynamic and interactive, allowing you to tailor requests in real time without modifying the dashboard configuration.
Grafana server administrators can now define custom time range presets for the time picker on dashboards — perfect for teams that routinely analyze specific, context-driven time windows.
Previously, Grafana automatically abbreviated large currency values like $1,235,667 to $1.24M or $555,558 into $555.6K. While this works well for most visualizations, financial data often requires exact values to be displayed.
Grafana now supports Entra Workload Identity, significantly enhancing authentication capabilities with federated credentials. This update simplifies the OAuth flow and improves security for Grafana instances leveraging Microsoft Azure, and was a valuable contribution from an external contributor. Thank you mehiglow.
