GrafanaCon

Grafana security staff David Andersson and Nick Moore deliver a candid play-by-play of a real-life security incident response at Grafana Labs. Learn how open source tools, collaboration, and observability helped them investigate a CI credential breach, coordinate response, and confirm no customer impact.

Using advanced robotics, AI-powered analytics, and unified data observability pipelines with Grafana, DIGI4ECO has built a 4D ecological monitoring system to protect marine ecosystems. Learn how real-time monitoring and observability turn complex ocean data into actionable restoration strategies.

Loki engineers Poyzan Taneli and Trevor Whitney unveil Loki’s next-generation architecture, built for petabyte-scale logging. Learn how a Kafka-backed ingestion path, redesigned query engine, new scheduler, and new data format enable a simpler partitioning model and significantly higher performance.

Logs are evolving—and Loki is evolving with them. Join Loki team members Ben Clive and Jason Nochlin for an inside look at Loki’s new storage engine, built to unlock faster insights from massive log volumes. Discover how it boosts performance, handles growing complexity, and powers the future of observability.

Using the Grafana Foundation SDK, Lorenzo Setale and Paul Farver helped The LEGO Group build a Dashboard Framework that lets users define what data matters. The result: clear, consistent dashboards built brick by brick. Learn how platform engineers can empower teams to create insightful, actionable dashboards anyone can use.

Grafana Labs engineers Bejal Lewis and Johanna Öjeling introduce Alloy’s new Open Telemetry Engine. Learn how to configure Alloy using standard Open Telemetry Collector YAML and enable native Open Telemetry pipelines integrated with Grafana. They’ll also offer an inside look at upcoming features and what’s next for the Open Telemetry Engine.

Java observability isn’t always possible through agents or code changes. In this session, Grafana Labs Principal Engineer Nikola Grcevski and Causely co-founder Endre Sara introduce the Open Telemetry e BPF Instrumentation (OBI) project, which offers a powerful alternative by enabling observability without code changes or JVM configuration modifications. Discover how OBI overcomes JVM complexity, encrypted traffic, and real-world production challenges.

Our annual Golden Grot Awards celebrate the amazing dashboards our community creates. The winners in the two categories (personal and professional) receive their prizes and share the stories of why and how they built their dashboards.

Grafana Labs Senior Director of Analytics Chris Shih and Staff Software Engineer Sam Jewell share how they apply observability best practices to business data. Using Grafana dashboards and alerting, they built Grafana Labs’ business data stack. Discover how a semantic layer combined with AI agents can move your organization toward self-service analytics.

What if you could see your entire LLM inference stack on a single pane of glass? In this session, learn how Grafana brings together GPUs, Kubernetes, and model-level metrics to uncover idle GPUs, reduce latency, improve autoscaling, and control the cost of running large language models in production.

As nuclear energy emerges as a solution to power AI and cloud infrastructure, Theia Scientific is accelerating materials research with Grafana, machine learning, and Jupyter notebooks. Co-founder Christopher Field demonstrates how a flexible, dashboard-driven platform transforms ML-analyzed data into actionable insights, advancing nuclear innovation to power the future of computing.

You don't have to choose between low total cost of ownership (TCO) and low latency. In this lightning talk, see a live demo of an open source, drop-in system that accelerates Grafana dashboards by executing queries on semantic-preserving summaries instead of raw data, delivering up to 100x faster performance without scaling your backend.
