Release Notes v6.5.x

Grafana Releases

Grafana v6.5 brings new features, many enhancements and bug fixes.

Release Highlights

Breaking changes

  • CloudWatch: Pre Grafana 6.5.0, the CloudWatch datasource used the GetMetricStatistics API for all queries that did not have an ´id´ and did not have an ´expression´ defined in the query editor. The GetMetricStatistics API has a limit of 400 transactions per second. In this release, all queries use the GetMetricData API. The GetMetricData API has a limit of 50 transactions per second and 100 metrics per transaction. For API pricing information, please refer to the CloudWatch pricing page (https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/).
  • CloudWatch: The GetMetricData API does not return metric unit, so unit auto detection in panels is no longer supported.
  • CloudWatch: The HighRes switch has been removed from the query editor. Read more about this in upgrading to 6.5.
  • CloudWatch: In previous versions of Grafana, there was partial support for using multi-valued template variables as dimension values. When a multi-valued template variable is being used for dimension values in Grafana 6.5, a search expression will be generated. In the GetMetricData API, expressions are limited to 1024 characters, so you might reach this limit if you are using a large number of values. Read our upgrading to 6.5 guide to see how you can use the * wildcard for this use case.
