|
|
|
|
+##More Dynamic Dashboards
|
|
|
|
|
+The Templating system is one of the most powerful and well-used features of Grafana. The 2.1 release brings numerous improvements that make Dashboards more dynamic than ever before.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+### Multi-Value Template Select
|
|
|
|
|
+Multi-Value Select allows for the selection of multiple template variables.
|
|
|
|
|
+These variables can be used in any Panel to make them more dynamic, and automatically show only the desired data.
|
|
|
|
|
+Multi-Value Select is also a basis for enabling Repeating Rows and Repeating Panels.

|
|
|
|
|
+### Repeating Rows and Panels
|
|
|
|
|
+It’s now possible to create a Dashboard that automatically adds (and removes) both Rows and Panels based on which Template variables you have selected.
|
|
|
|
|
+Any Row or Any Panel can be configured to repeat (duplicate itself) based on the Multi-Value Template variables selected.

|
|
+### Dashboard Links
|
|
|
|
|
+To support better navigation between Dashboarads, it is possible to create custom and dynamic links from individual Panels to appropriate Dashboards (1888)

|
|
|
|
+### Better local Dashboard support
|
|
|
|
|
+Grafana can now index Dashboards saved locally as JSON from a given directory.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+> ***Note:*** Saving local dashboards back the folder is not supported; this feature is meant for statically generated JSON dashboards.

|
+## Improved authentication engine
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+### LDAP support
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+### Basic Auth support
|
|
|
|
|
+You can now authenticate against the Grafana API utilizing a simple username and password with basic HTTP authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+> ***Note:*** This can be useful for provisioning and config management systems that need to utilize the API without having to create an API key.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+### User authentication utilizing headers
|
|
|
|
|
+You can now authenticate utilizing a header (eg. X-Authenticated-User, or X-WEBAUTH-USER)
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+> ***Note:*** this can be useful in situations with reverse proxies.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+### New “Read-only Editor” User Role
|
|
|
|
|
+There is a new User role available in this version of Grafana: “Read-only Editor”. This role disables the query editor for the user and puts him in a read-only sandbox of sorts.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+> ***Note:*** Even with this role assigned, Read-only Editors still have access to ALL metrics from that Datasource. This is not a way to achieve a true multitenant segregated environment with Grafana.

|
|
+### Improved Data Sources
|
|
|
|
|
+We continue to make progress on fully supporting InfluxDB 0.9, but it has proven to be a bit of a moving target. This Grafana release brings a much improved query editor for InfluxDB 0.9
