Refer to [What’s New](/whats-new/?tags=Database%20Observability) to learn about updates to Grafana Cloud Database Observability. These release notes provide information about the features, enhancements, and fixes in each version of Grafana Cloud Database Observability. Database Observability uses Grafana Alloy to send your database telemetry to Grafana Cloud. For information about changes to Alloy, refer to the [Grafana Alloy release notes](/docs/grafana-cloud/send-data/alloy/release-notes/). ## v2.35.0 09/21/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Feature | Telemetry status: Added a warning banner listing database instances that are sending query statistics but no connection info, including their region and provider when available. | | Enhancement | Trace linkage: Improved MySQL query text matching to recognize named bind parameters (for example from the .NET MySQL driver), catching more trace matches. | | Fix | Query details: Fixed the trace fallback alert banner not spanning the full width of the page. | | Fix | Query details: The engine version is now shown on the badge in the **Cloud Provider Observability** drawer, matching the main page. | | Fix | Trace linkage: Fixed MySQL query text matching failing when the traced query had a trailing semicolon. | ## v2.34.0 09/14/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Feature | Query details: Added the cloud provider and region below the page title, with a tooltip showing instance details and a link to the **Cloud Provider Observability** drawer. | | Feature | Queries overview: Hovering the database engine icon now shows the engine version, and **Query details** displays the version on the engine badge. | | Enhancement | Engine support: Added a logo for **SQL Server**. | | Enhancement | Trace linkage: When no trace match is found by query text and database name, linkage now falls back to matching on query text alone, catching traces where the database name differs (for example behind a connection pooler). | | Enhancement | Security: The host info gate that can restrict access to query data now also applies to the **Queries Overview** component when embedded in other apps, closing a gap where it previously wasn’t enforced there. | | Fix | Query details: Fixed the **list of tables** for a MySQL query sometimes showing entries that weren’t real tables. | | Fix | Query samples: Fixed the **View trace in Explore** link sometimes using the wrong Tempo data source. | | Fix | Security: Fixed the host info gate not re-evaluating access after its first check in a session, so it could show stale results if a time range or host status changed later. | ## v2.33.0 09/09/26 Expand table | Type | Description | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Enhancement | Query overview, Setup, table schema details: Aligned panel and table borders, corner radius, and title spacing with Grafana’s standard panel styling. | | Fix | Trace linkage: Fixed query text matching for PostgreSQL queries using Npgsql’s parameterization syntax. | ## v2.32.1 09/07/26 This release contains internal changes only.
