Grafana Cloud: New annoucement
Grafana Labs used its customer conference, ObservabilityCON, to announce updates to its commercial offerings and put a spotlight on some recent releases from its open source portfolio.
One of the new helpers the company announced is Grafana Enterprise Traces: more secure traces. Grafana Enterprise Traces (GET) completes the last piece of the enterprise stack. In the same way that Grafana Enterprise, Grafana Enterprise Metrics, and Grafana Enterprise Logs take everything you love about Grafana, Cortex, and Loki and turn them into products suitable for running at large organizations, we’re completing the picture with Enterprise Traces based on Tempo.
Just like Grafana Tempo, GET is built on a unique approach to trace indexing, storage, and administration control that allows companies to run it securely at scale. Everyone in an organization can access all of their relevant trace data, and companies that have specific security policies or are in regulated industries can leverage the built-in Grafana interface to easily manage permissions and settings and grant individuals access to the resources they need without compromising cost.
To learn more about Grafana Enterprise Traces, watch the demo and read the announcement blog post. If you’re ready to get started with GET, check out the documentation.
Another new addition is the release of Grafana Tempo 1.2: delivers the first version to support search, a scalable single binary deployment, increased efficiency, and more. Here are some highlights:
Recent traces search allows you to natively search Tempo for traces that are still in the ingesters. Traces can be searched for data originating from a specific service, duration range, and span and process-level attributes included in your application’s instrumentation, such as HTTP status code, customer ID, etc.
The new scalable single binary that allows for a horizontally scalable single binary that contains every component. The components continue to act as if they were in a fully distributed setup (i.e., every distributor pushes to every ingester), but since they are packaged as a single binary it can reduce operational burden.

Loki 2.4
Loki 2.4 is all about making Loki easier to run. Grafana Labs’ve built a new three-service deployment model to enable Loki operators to set up a high-availability, scalable log cluster faster than ever before, with a particular focus on enabling non-Kubernetes setups.
Besides this, Loki 2.4 also includes support for OOO log lines, custom log retention policies per log stream and per tenant, and a deletion API that makes it easy to scrub log data you don’t want to keep around. Also there is a countless improvements to the Loki log panel and Explore views to make it easier to navigate logs in Grafana.
