# 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.com](https://grafana.com).
|
|
|
|
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.com](https://grafana.com) 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.com 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).
