Breaking changes
- Dashboards from v2.6 are fully compatible; no manual updates should be necessary. There could
be some edge case scenarios where dashboards using templating could stop working.
If that is the case just enter the edit view for the template variable and hit Update button.
This is due to a simplification of the variable format system where template variables are
now stored without any formatting (glob/regex/etc), this is done on the fly when the
variable is interpolated. - Plugin API: The plugin API has changed so if you are using a custom
data source (or panel) they need to be updated as well. - InfluxDB 0.8: This data source is no longer included in releases,
you can still install manually from Grafana.net - KairosDB: This data source has also no longer shipped with Grafana,
you can install it manually from Grafana.net
