grafana-app release v2.39.0

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 09:01:32 +0000

Changed

Fix ABS config to not override AppVersion in Chart.yaml
Upgrade grafana chart: 12.3.0 => 12.10.3
Upgrade grafana (appVersion): 13.0.1 => 13.1.2
Upgrade postgresql-cnpg: 18.3 => 18.4 — the rolling DB upgrade can cause ~5min of Grafana downtime.

Removed

The upstream chart no longer creates a Role/RoleBinding when grafana.rbac.namespaced is false (our default). Those objects were empty, sidecar permissions come from the ClusterRole.

observability-bundle release v3.3.1

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 15:03:49 +0000

Changed

Values: Generate schema for Alloy PodLogs CRDs.
Values: Add Cilium as dependency for Alloy apps & Kube Prometheus Stack.
Values: Update Alloy apps to v0.21.2.

Removed

Values: Remove unused catalog.

dashboards release v4.29.1

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 14:13:52 +0000

Added

Add a nav bar between the four Envoy Gateway dashboards, like the Cilium ones have.

Changed

Give Envoy Gateway | Clusters a readable uid. Links to its old random uid stop resolving.
Rename the cluster variable on Cilium Agent logs to cluster_id, matching the other Cilium dashboards so the selection carries across links.
Rename workload_cluster to cluster_id on the Envoy Gateway dashboards, so the selection carries when moving between them. On Clusters its label is K8s Cluster, to tell it apart from the Envoy cluster selector.
Hide the datasource selector on the Cilium and Envoy Gateway dashboards and point it at the default datasource, instead of the exported uids that only resolved in the Grafana a board came from.

Removed

Drop the Cluster selector from Envoy Gateway | Clusters. Every panel also matched on the namespace, resource and rule selectors, which compose the same Envoy cluster name.

Fixed

Give Cilium | Agent its own uid instead of reusing the retired Cilium metrics dashboard’s, which kept it from being created.
Give Envoy Gateway | Control Plane its own uid instead of reusing the retired Global dashboard’s, which kept it from being created.

alloy-app release v0.21.1

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 09:18:44 +0000

Fixed

Setting alloy.enabled: false now disables the whole chart on its own and renders nothing. Previously it only dropped the upstream Alloy chart, and the Giant Swarm templates (NetworkPolicy, Kyverno PolicyException, VerticalPodAutoscaler, PodLogs, extra env Secret) failed to render with no template "alloy.chart" associated with template "gotpl" unless networkPolicy.flavor and kyvernoPolicyExceptions.enabled were also overridden.

Added

Add a make test-chart target and a test-chart workflow that render the chart with every ci/*-values.yaml file and assert it renders nothing when disabled and all of its objects when enabled. Unlike ct lint, these use a current Helm, which is required to catch template rendering errors.
