Grafana Labs

#HugOps, everyone.

⚠️ On May 16, 2026, we confirmed a targeted attack by a cybercrime group that gained unauthorized access to our GitHub repositories and downloaded our codebase.

Here is the latest update about our investigations.

https://grafana.com/blog/grafana-labs-security-update-latest-on-tanstack-npm-supply-chain-ransomware-incident/

🚨 We recently discovered that an unauthorized party obtained a token with access to the Grafana Labs GitHub environment, enabling the threat actor to download our codebase.

Our investigation has determined that no customer data or personal information was accessed during this incident, and we have found no evidence of impact to customer systems or operations.

We immediately initiated forensic analysis and we believe we’ve identified the source of the credential leak. We have since invalidated the compromised credentials and implemented additional security measures to further secure our environment against unauthorized access.

The attacker attempted to blackmail us, demanding payment to prevent the release of our codebase.

Based on our operational experience and the published stance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which notes that "paying a ransom doesn't guarantee you or your organization will get any data back" and only "offers an incentive for others to get involved in this type of illegal activity," we have determined the appropriate path forward is to not pay the ransom.

As part of Grafana Labs’ standard security practices, we will share additional information from our post-incident review when our investigations are complete.

🫳 #GrafanaCON 2026 talks are available on demand! Just in time for some weekend viewing.

Don't miss talks like:
• GrafanaCON 2026 Keynote
• New #OpenTelemetry engine
• k6 2.0
• Planet-scale dashboards at Google

And more that won't fit in this toot: https://grafana.com/events/grafanacon/

We're headed to #O11ySummit North America next week!

Stop by our booth, grab swag, and see talks from Grafanistas:

☕️ eBPF application instrumentation for Java: Stephen Lang & Endre Sara (our partner from Causely)
🤖 Exploring Observability with MCP Servers: Tiffany Jernigan

Before dashboards, alerts, and traces, there was mom with her intuitive observability system:

- Detects anomalies instantly
- Correlates signals across rooms, siblings, & suspicious silences
- Escalates with precision

#HappyMothersDay to the original incident responders! 💐

"We're allergic to false claims... We really need to make sure this stuff is actually useful and provides real value. And we're confident that it does." - Raj Dutt

77% of observability experts say open source and open standards are important to their observability strategy.

We're also seeing open source have an impact on how people prioritize and select new tools, while OpenTelemetry continues to become a unified standard across all telemetry signals.

Taken collectively, this points to a broader change: Organizations are shifting from strategies anchored to a single vendor to strategies that prioritize open, portable standards for moving data across tools and platforms to better understand the state of their systems—and even their businesses.

This blog post takes a closer look at the role of open source and open standards in observability today, based on the results from the 2026 edition of the Observability Survey, the largest community-driven survey on the state of the industry: https://grafana.com/blog/observability-survey-OSS-open-standards-2026

If you're headed to #SRECON next week, come say 👋 and ask your questions about Grafana Cloud, the LGTM Stack, and all things observability: https://www.usenix.org/conference/srecon26americas
