Grafana | v13.1.0

Grafana v13.1.0 released on 01-07-2026


Grafana v13.1.0 is out now. It delivers a broad set of usability and accessibility improvements across the UI and dashboards — ARIA and keyboard fixes, colourblind-safe line-style fills and WCAG-aware pie labels, TimeRangePicker and dashboard polish, plus sidebar and pane redesigns to make the interface more consistent and predictable for users.

Read the full release notes and download options on Grafana’s release page: https://grafana.com/grafana/download/13.1.0 and see the highlights at the official What’s New documentation.

What’s in this release

  • Accessibility and UI fixes: ARIA and keyboard/forced‑colours corrections (UserIcon, FilterPill, Select/Combobox, Menu), colourblind‑safe line patterns and WCAG‑aware pie slice labels, and TimeRangePicker accent adjustments.
  • Alerting and notifications: Mimir Alertmanager auto‑sync, AlertRules API v2, feature flags for notifications API migration and rules v2, plus Alerts Activity and enrichment drawer UX improvements.
  • Provisioning and Git/workflow: commit‑signing configuration UI (GPG/SSH/S/MIME), webhook and repository hardening (replay protection, rotating webhook secrets, ref validation), improved sync behaviour and PR validation feedback.

Upgrade notes

  • Breaking changes for Prometheus and core plugins: removal of azure and sigv4 auth from core Prometheus and removal of the grafana‑prometheus package, and Zipkin removed from core plugins — teams running custom integrations should review the migration steps before upgrading.
  • Notifications migration: one notifications migration step was reverted; check the migration flags and guidance if you are planning notification or rules migrations.
