Grafana v13.0.3 released on 23-06-2026
Grafana v13.0.3 is out now. It updates Alpine-based Docker images to Alpine 3.24.1 to improve base-image security and dependency freshness, and delivers provisioning and datasource fixes that make repo-backed and provisioned folders more reliable for operators.
Full details and downloads are on Grafana’s site: https://grafana.com/grafana/download/13.0.3 and the What’s new highlights at https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/whatsnew/.
What’s in this release
- Docker: Alpine-based images bumped to Alpine 3.24.1 to address base-image security and dependency freshness.
- Provisioning: a _folder.json file is written when dashboards are created in new folders or moved into new folders, ensuring folder metadata is persisted for repo-backed and provisioned folders.
- Provisioning and API fixes: fixes for PR comments on multi-organization instances, PR links that break when folders are renamed via the UI, terminating repositories being ignored during connection-delete validation, and datasource API/migration fixes (including a corrected MySQL query and stricter UID checks on PUT /api/datasources/uid/:uid).
Upgrade notes
- Operators should rebuild and redeploy any container images that rely on Grafana’s Alpine-based images to pick up the Alpine 3.24.1 base image.
- If you automate datasource updates or run migrations, verify your scripts supply a matching UID in the payload for PUT /api/datasources/uid/:uid (mismatches now return 400), and test migrations in staging to confirm the corrected datasource_type migration runs cleanly.
