You use feature toggles, also known as feature flags, to turn experimental or beta features on and off in Grafana. Although we do not recommend using these features in production, you can turn on feature toggles to try out new functionality in development or test environments.
This page contains a list of available feature toggles. To learn how to turn on feature toggles, refer to our [Configure Grafana documentation]({{< relref "../_index.md/#feature_toggles" >}}). Feature toggles are also available to Grafana Cloud Advanced customers. If you use Grafana Cloud Advanced, you can open a support ticket and specify the feature toggles and stack for which you want them enabled.
## Stable feature toggles
Some stable features are enabled by default. You can disable a stable feature by setting the feature flag to "false" in the configuration.
| `featureHighlights` | Highlight Grafana Enterprise features | |
| `cloudWatchDynamicLabels` | Use dynamic labels instead of alias patterns in CloudWatch datasource | Yes |
| `dataConnectionsConsole` | Enables a new top-level page called Connections. This page is an experiment that provides a better experience when you install and configure data sources and other plugins. | Yes |
| `useCachingService` | When turned on, the new query and resource caching implementation using a wire service inject will be used in place of the previous middleware implementation | |
| `newDBLibrary` | Use jmoiron/sqlx rather than xorm for a few backend services |
| `validateDashboardsOnSave` | Validate dashboard JSON POSTed to api/dashboards/db |
| `autoMigrateOldPanels` | Migrate old angular panels to supported versions (graph, table-old, worldmap, etc) |
| `disableAngular` | Dynamic flag to disable angular at runtime. The preferred method is to set `angular_support_enabled` to `false` in the [security] settings, which allows you to change the state at runtime. |
| `grpcServer` | Run the GRPC server |
| `accessControlOnCall` | Access control primitives for OnCall |
| `alertingNoNormalState` | Stop maintaining state of alerts that are not firing |
| `renderAuthJWT` | Uses JWT-based auth for rendering instead of relying on remote cache |
| `influxdbBackendMigration` | Query InfluxDB InfluxQL without the proxy |
| `clientTokenRotation` | Replaces the current in-request token rotation so that the client initiates the rotation |
| `prometheusDataplane` | Changes responses to from Prometheus to be compliant with the dataplane specification. In particular it sets the numeric Field.Name from 'Value' to the value of the `__name__` label when present. |
The following toggles require explicitly setting Grafana's [app mode]({{< relref "../_index.md/#app_mode" >}}) to 'development' before you can enable this feature toggle. These features tend to be experimental.
