+# What's New in Grafana v3.1
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Dashboard Export & Import
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The export feature is now accessed from the share menu.

|
|
+
|
|
|
+Dashboards exported from Grafana 3.1 are now more portable and easier for others to import than before.
|
|
|
+The export process extracts information data source types used by panels and adds these to a new `inputs`
|
|
|
+section in the dashboard json. So when you or another person tries to import the dashboard they will be asked to
|
|
|
+select data source and optional metrix prefix options.

|
|
+
|
|
|
+The above screenshot shows the new import modal that gives you 3 options for how to import a dashboard.
|
|
|
+One notable new addition here is the ability to import directly from Dashboards shared on [Grafana.net](https://grafana.net).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The next step in the import process:

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Here you can change the name of the dashboard and also pick what data sources you want the dashboard to use. The above screenshot
|
|
|
+shows a CollectD dashboard for Graphite that requires a metric prefix be specified.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Discover Dashboards
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+On [Grafana.net](https://grafana.net) you can now browse & search for dashboards. We have already added a few but
|
|
|
+more are being uploaded every day. To import a dashboard just copy the dashboard url and head back to Grafana,
|
|
|
+then Dashboard Search -> Import -> Paste Grafana.net Dashboard URL.

|
|
|
+## Constant template variables
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+We added a new template variable named constant that makes it easier to share and export dashboard that have custom prefixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Dashboard Urls
|
|
|
+Having current time range and template variable value always sync with the URL makes it possible to always copy your current
|
|
|
+Grafana url to share with a colleague without having to use the Share modal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Internal metrics
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Do you want metrics about viewing metrics? Ofc you do! In this release we added support for sending metrics about Grafana to graphite.
|
|
|
+You can configure interval and server in the config file.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Logging
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Switched logging framework to log15 to enable key value per logging and filtering based on different log levels.
|
|
|
+Its now possible to configure different log levels for different modules.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Breaking changes
|
|
|
+- **Logging** format have been changed to improve log filtering.
|
|
|
+- **Graphite PNG** Graphite PNG support dropped from Graph panel (use Grafana native PNG instead).
|
|
|
+- **Migration** No longer possible to migrate dashboards from 1.x (Stored in ES or Influx 0.8).
