### Deprecations

Support for compact Explore URLs is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Until then, when navigating to Explore using the deprecated format the URLs are automatically converted. If you have existing links pointing to Explore update them using the format generated by Explore upon navigation.

You can identify a compact URL by its format. Compact URLs have the left (and optionally right) url parameter as an array of strings, for example `&left=["now-1h","now"...]`. The standard explore URLs follow a key/value pattern, for example `&left={"datasource":"test"...}`. Please be sure to check your dashboards for any hardcoded links to Explore and update them to the standard URL pattern. Issue [#50873](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/50873)

### Breaking changes

The `@grafana/ui` package helper function `selectOptionInTest` used in frontend tests has been removed as it caused testing libraries to be bundled in the production code of Grafana. If you were using this helper function in your tests please update your code accordingly:

```js
// before
import { selectOptionInTest } from '@grafana/ui';
// ...test usage
await selectOptionInTest(selectEl, 'Option 2');

// after
import { select } from 'react-select-event';
// ...test usage
await select(selectEl, 'Option 2', { container: document.body });
```

Issue [#50442](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/50442)

Removed deprecated `checkHealth` prop from the `@grafana/e2e` `addDataSource` config. Previously this value defaulted to `false`, and has not been used in end-to-end tests since Grafana 8.0.3. Issue [#50296](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/50296)

Removes the deprecated `LegacyBaseMap`, `LegacyValueMapping`, `LegacyValueMap`, and `LegacyRangeMap` types, and `getMappedValue` function from grafana-data. Migration is as follows:
| Old | New |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| `LegacyBaseMap` | `MappingType` |
| `LegacyValueMapping` | `ValueMapping` |
| `LegacyValueMap` | `ValueMap` |
| `LegacyRangeMap` | `RangeMap` |
| `getMappedValue` | `getValueMappingResult` | Issue [#50035](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/50035)

This change fixes a bug in Grafana where intermittent failure of database, network between Grafana and the database, or error in querying the database would cause all alert rules to be unscheduled in Grafana. Following this change scheduled alert rules are not updated unless the query is successful.

The `get_alert_rules_duration_seconds` metric has been renamed to `schedule_query_alert_rules_duration_seconds`. Issue [#49874](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49874)

- Any secret (data sources credential, alert manager credential, etc, etc) created or modified with Grafana v9.0 won't be decryptable from any previous version (by default) because the way encrypted secrets are stored into the database has changed. Although secrets created or modified with previous versions will still be decryptable by Grafana v9.0.
- If required, although generally discouraged, the `disableEnvelopeEncryption` feature toggle can be enabled to keep envelope encryption disabled once updating to Grafana v9.0.
- In case of need to rollback to an earlier version of Grafana (i.e. Grafana v8.x) for any reason, after being created or modified any secret with Grafana v9.0, the `envelopeEncryption` feature toggle will need to be enabled to keep backwards compatibility (only from `v8.3.x` a bit unstable, from `8.5.x` stable).
- As a final attempt to deal with issues related with the aforementioned situations, the `grafana-cli admin secrets-migration rollback` command has been designed to move back all the Grafana secrets encrypted with envelope encryption to legacy encryption. So, after running that command it should be safe to disable envelope encryption and/or roll back to a previous version of Grafana.
- Alternatively or complementarily to all the points above, backing up the Grafana database before updating could be a good idea to prevent disasters (although the risk of getting some secrets corrupted only applies to those updates/created with after updating to Grafana v9.0). Issue [#49301](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49301)

- According to the dynamic labels documentation, you can use up to five dynamic values per label. There’s currently no such restriction in the alias pattern system, so if more than 5 patterns are being used the GetMetricData API will return an error.
- Dynamic labels only allow ${LABEL} to be used once per query. There’s no such restriction in the alias pattern system, so in case more than 1 is being used the GetMetricData API will return an error.
- When no alias is provided by the user, Grafana will no longer fallback with custom rules for naming the legend.
- In case a search expression is being used and no data is returned, Grafana will no longer expand dimension values, for instance when using a multi-valued template variable or star wildcard `*` in the dimension value field. Ref https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/20729
- Time series might be displayed in a different order. Using for example the dynamic label `${PROP('MetricName')}`, might have the consequence that the time series are returned in a different order compared to when the alias pattern `{{metric}}` is used

Issue [#49173](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49173)

In Elasticsearch, browser access mode was deprecated in grafana 7.4.0 and removed in 9.0.0. If you used this mode, please switch to server access mode on the datasource configuration page. Issue [#49014](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49014)

Environment variables passed from Grafana to external Azure plugins have been renamed:

- `AZURE_CLOUD` renamed to `GFAZPL_AZURE_CLOUD`
- `AZURE_MANAGED_IDENTITY_ENABLED` renamed to `GFAZPL_MANAGED_IDENTITY_ENABLED`
- `AZURE_MANAGED_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID` renamed to `GFAZPL_MANAGED_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID`

There are no known plugins which were relying on these variables. Moving forward plugins should read Azure settings only via Grafana Azure SDK which properly handles old and new environment variables. Issue [#48954](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/48954)

Removes support for for ElasticSearch versions after their end-of-life, currently versions < 7.10.0. To continue to use ElasticSearch data source, upgrade ElasticSearch to version 7.10.0+.
Issue [#48715](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/48715)

Application Insights and Insight Analytics queries in Azure Monitor were deprecated in Grafana 8.0 and finally removed in 9.0. Deprecated queries will no longer be executed. Please refer to the [documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/datasources/azuremonitor/deprecated-application-insights/) for more information about this change.

Issue [#48328](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/48328)

**grafana/ui: Button now specifies a default type="button"**

The `Button` component provided by @grafana/ui now specifies a default `type="button"` when no type is provided. In previous versions, if the attribute was not specified for buttons associated with a `<form>` the default value was `submit` per the [specification](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button#attr-type)

You can preserve the old behavior by explicitly setting the type attribute: `<Button type="submit" />`

[Github Issue #41863](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/41863).
Issue [#48183](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/48183)

The `Rename by regex` transformation has been improved to allow global patterns of the form `/<stringToReplace>/g`. Depending on the regex match used, this may cause some transformations to behave slightly differently. You can guarantee the same behaviour as before by wrapping the `match` string in forward slashes (`/`), e.g. `(.*)` would become `/(.*)/` Issue [#48179](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/48179)

`<Select />` menus will now portal to the document body by default. This is to give more consistent behaviour when positioning and overlaying. If you were setting `menuShouldPortal={true}` before you can safely remove that prop and behaviour will be the same. If you weren't explicitly setting that prop, there should be no visible changes in behaviour but your tests may need updating. Please see the original PR (https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/36398) for migration guides. If you were setting `menuShouldPortal={false}` this will continue to prevent the menu from portalling.

Issue [#48176](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/48176)

Grafana alerting endpoint prefixed with `api/v1/rule/test` that tests a rule against a Corte/Loki data source now expects the data source UID as a path parameter instead of the data source numeric identifier. Issue [#48070](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/48070)

Grafana alerting endpoints prefixed with `api/prometheus/` that proxy requests to a Cortex/Loki data source now expect the data source UID as a path parameter instead of the data source numeric identifier. Issue [#48052](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/48052)

Grafana alerting endpoints prefixed with `api/ruler/` that proxy requests to a Cortex/Loki data source now expect the data source UID as a path parameter instead of the data source numeric identifier. Issue [#48046](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/48046)

Grafana alerting endpoints prefixed with `api/alertmanager/` that proxy requests to an Alertmanager now expect the data source UID as a path parameter instead of the data source numeric identifier. Issue [#47978](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/47978)

The format of log messages have been updated, `lvl` is now `level` and `eror`and `dbug` has been replaced with `error` and `debug`. The precision of timestamps has been increased. To smooth the transition, it is possible to opt-out of the new log format by enabling the feature toggle `oldlog`. This option will be removed in a future minor release. Issue [#47584](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/47584)

In the Loki data source, the dataframe format used to represent Loki logs-data has been changed to a more efficient format. The query-result is represented by a single dataframe with a "labels" column, instead of the separate dataframes for every labels-value. When displaying such data in explore, or in a logs-panel in the dashboard will continue to work without changes, but if the data was loaded into a different dashboard-panel, or Transforms were used, adjustments may be necessary. For example, if you used the "labels to fields" transformation with the logs data, please switch to the "extract fields" transformation. Issue [#47153](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/47153)

### Deprecations

`setExploreQueryField`, `setExploreMetricsQueryField` and `setExploreLogsQueryField` are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. If you need to set a different query editor for Explore, conditionally render based on `props.app` in your regular query editor. Please refer to https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/plugins/add-support-for-explore-queries/ for more information.

### Breaking changes

Removes support for storing/using datasource `password` and `basicAuthPassword` unencrypted which was [deprecated in Grafana v8.1.0](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/installation/upgrading/#use-of-unencrypted-passwords-for-data-sources-no-longer-supported). Please use `secureJsonData.password` and `secureJsonData.basicAuthPassword`. Issue [#49987](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49987)

Removes the option to instrument HTTP request in Grafana using summaries instead of histograms. Issue [#49985](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49985)

Removes support for deprecated dataproxy.max_idle_connections_per_host setting. Please use max_idle_connections instead. Issue [#49948](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49948)

Removes the deprecated `getFormStyles` function from grafana-ui.
Prefer using `GrafanaTheme2` and the `useStyles2` hook. Issue [#49945](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49945)

The configuration options `auth.login_maximum_inactive_lifetime_days` and `auth.login_maximum_lifetime_days` were deprecated in Grafana v7.2.0 and have now been removed. Use `login_maximum_inactive_lifetime_duration` and `login_maximum_lifetime_duration` to customize the maximum lifetime of a login session. Issue [#49944](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49944)

Removed the deprecated `isFocused` and `isInvalid` props from the `InlineLabel` component. These props haven't done anything for a while, so migration is just a matter of removing the props. Issue [#49929](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49929)

Removed the deprecated `onColorChange` prop from `ColorPicker`. Moving forward the `onChange` prop should be used. Issue [#49923](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49923)

`/api/tsdb/query` API has been removed. Use [/api/ds/query](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/http_api/data_source/#query-a-data-source) instead.
Issue [#49916](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49916)

`onClipboardCopy` and `onClipboardError` APIs have been changed such that the callback's argument is just the text that's been copied rather than the old `ClipboardEvent` interface.
Migration should just be a matter of going from

```tsx
<ClipboardButton
  {/*other props... */}
  onClipboardCopy={(e) => {
    console.log(`Text "${e.text}" was copied!`);
  }}
/>
```

to

```tsx
<ClipboardButton
  {/* other props... */}
  onClipboardCopy={(copiedText) => {
    console.log(`Text "${copiedText}" was copied!`);
  }}
/>
```

### Breaking changes

Drop support for deprecated setting ldap_sync_ttl under [auth.proxy]
Only sync_ttl will work from now on Issue [#49902](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49902)

Removes support for deprecated `heading` and `description` props. Moving forward, the `Card.Heading` and `Card.Description` components should be used. Issue [#49885](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49885)

Removes the deprecated `link` variant from the `Button` component.
To migrate, replace any usage of `variant="link"` with `fill="text"`. Issue [#49843](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49843)

Removes the deprecated `surface` prop from the `IconButton` component. This prop hasn't actually done anything for a while, so it should be safe to just remove any instances of its usage.
Issue [#49715](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49715)

Removes the deprecated `TextDisplayOptions` export from `@grafana/data` in favor of `VizTextDisplayOptions` from `@grafana/schema`. To migrate, just replace usage of `TextDisplayOptions` with `VizTextDisplayOptions`. Issue [#49705](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49705)

Removed support for the deprecated `getColorForTheme(color: string, theme: GrafanaTheme)` function in favor of the
`theme.visualization.getColorByName(color: string)` method. The output of this method is identical to the removed function, so migration should just be a matter of rewriting calls of `getColorForTheme(myColor, myTheme)` to `myTheme.visualization.getColorByName(myColor)`.
Issue [#49519](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49519)

In the Prometheus data source, for consistency and performance reasons, we changed how we represent `NaN` (not a number) values received from Prometheus. In the past versions, we converted these to `null` in the frontend (for dashboard and explore), and kept as `NaN` in the alerting path. Starting with this version, we will always keep it as `NaN`. This change should be mostly invisible for the users. Issue [#49475](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49475)

Plugins using custom Webpack configs could potentially break due to the changes between webpack@4 and webpack@5. Please refer to the [official migration guide](https://webpack.js.org/migrate/5/) for assistance.

Webpack 5 does not include polyfills for node.js core modules by default (e.g. `buffer`, `stream`, `os`). This can result in failed builds for plugins. If polyfills are required it is recommended to create a custom webpack config in the root of the plugin repo and add the required fallbacks:

```js
// webpack.config.js

module.exports.getWebpackConfig = (config, options) => ({
  ...config,
  resolve: {
    ...config.resolve,
    fallback: {
      os: require.resolve('os-browserify/browser'),
      stream: require.resolve('stream-browserify'),
      timers: require.resolve('timers-browserify'),
    },
  },
});
```

Please refer to the webpack build error messages or the [official migration guide](https://webpack.js.org/migrate/5/) for assistance with fallbacks.

  Issue [#47826](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/47826)

We have changed the internals of `backendSrv.fetch()` to throw an error when the response is an incorrect JSON.

```javascript
// PREVIOUSLY: this was returning with an empty object {} - in case the response is an invalid JSON
return await getBackendSrv().post(`${API_ROOT}/${id}/install`);

// AFTER THIS CHANGE: the following will throw an error - in case the response is an invalid JSON
return await getBackendSrv().post(`${API_ROOT}/${id}/install`);
```

**When is the response handled as JSON?**

- If the response has the `"Content-Type: application/json"` header, OR
- If the backendSrv options ([`BackendSrvRequest`](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/e237ff20a996c7313632b2e28f38032012f0e340/packages/grafana-runtime/src/services/backendSrv.ts#L8)) specify the response as JSON: `{ responseType: 'json' }`

**How does it work after this change?**

- In case it is recognised as a JSON response and the response is empty, it returns an empty object `{}`
- In case it is recognised as a JSON response and it has formatting errors, it throws an error

**How to migrate?**
Make sure to handle possible errors on the callsite where using `backendSrv.fetch()` (or any other `backendSrv` methods). Issue [#47493](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/47493)

This means that any plugin that use SIGV4 auth need to pass a SIGV4 editor component as a prop to the `DataSourceHttpSettings` component.

### Breaking changes

For a data source query made via /api/ds/query :

- If the `DatasourceQueryMultiStatus` feature is enabled and
  - The data source response has an error set as part of the `DataResponse`, the resulting HTTP status code is now `207 Multi Status` instead of `400 Bad gateway`
- If the `DatasourceQueryMultiStatus` feature is **not** enabled and
  - The data source response has an error set as part of the `DataResponse`, the resulting HTTP status code is `400 Bad Request` (no breaking change)

### Breaking changes

For a proxied request, e.g. Grafana's datasource or plugin proxy:

- If the request is cancelled, e.g. from the browser/by the client, the HTTP status code is now `499 Client closed request` instead of `502 Bad gateway`
- If the request times out, e.g. takes longer time than allowed, the HTTP status code is now `504 Gateway timeout` instead of `502 Bad gateway`. Issue [#47473](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/47473)

The change in behavior is that negative-valued series are now stacked downwards from 0 (in their own stacks), rather than downwards from the top of the positive stacks. We now automatically group stacks by Draw style, Line interpolation, and Bar alignment, making it impossible to stack bars on top of lines, or smooth lines on top of stepped lines. Issue [#47373](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/47373)

The meaning of the default data source has now changed from being a persisted property in a panel. Before when you selected the default data source for a panel and later changed the default data source to another data source it would change all panels who were configured to use the default data source. From now on the default data source is just the default for new panels and changing the default will not impact any currently saved dashboards. Issue [#45132](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/45132)

The Tooltip component provided by `@grafana/ui` is no longer automatically interactive (that is you can hover onto it and click a link or select text). It will from now on by default close automatically when you mouse out from the trigger element. To make tooltips behave like before set the new `interactive` property to true.  
 Issue [#45053](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/45053)

### Deprecations

`/api/tsdb/query` API has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use [/api/ds/query](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/http_api/data_source/#query-a-data-source) instead. Issue [#45238](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/45238)

### Bug fixes

- **Plugins:** Fix Default Nav URL for dashboard includes. [#47143](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/47143), [@wbrowne](https://github.com/wbrowne)

### Breaking changes

When user is using Github OAuth, GitHub login is showed as both Grafana login and name. Now the GitHub name is showed as Grafana name, and GitHub login is showed as Grafana Login. Issue [#45438](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/45438)

The meaning of the default data source has now changed from being a persisted property in a panel. Before when you selected the default data source for a panel and later changed the default data source to another data source it would change all panels who were configured to use the default data source. From now on the default data source is just the default for new panels and changing the default will not impact any currently saved dashboards.

### Breaking changes

### Grafana 8 Alerting enabled by default for installations that do not use legacy alerting

Starting with Grafana v8.3.0, if you have **not** explicitly disabled unified alerting and **do not** have legacy alerts set up you are automatically "migrated" to Grafana 8 Alerting.

A migration **from legacy to Grafana 8 Alerting** will never incur a data loss, as the previous data is kept around for rollback purposes. However, going from **Grafana 8 Alerting to legacy alerting** will delete all the data created for Grafana 8 Alerting. It is recommended that you **backup your database** before attempting a migration between systems.

If unclear, please verify the table below:

| `[alerting][enabled]` | `[unified_alerting][enabled]` | With Existing Legacy Alerts | Result             |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `true`                | `true`                        | N/A                         | Error              |
| `true`                | `false`                       | N/A                         | Legacy Alerting    |
| `true`                | not set                       | Yes                         | Legacy Alerting    |
| `true`                | not set                       | No                          | Grafana 8 Alerting |
| not set               | `true`                        | N/A                         | Grafana 8 Alerting |
| not set               | `false`                       | N/A                         | Legacy Alerting    |
| not set               | not set                       | Yes                         | Legacy Alerting    |
| not set               | not set                       | No                          | Grafana 8 Alerting |
| `false`               | `true`                        | N/A                         | Grafana 8 Alerting |
| `false`               | `false`                       | N/A                         | Alerting disabled  |
| `false`               | not set                       | N/A                         | Grafana 8 Alerting |

N/A in the "With Existing Legacy Alerts" column means that it does not matter if you have legacy alerts or not.

### Keep Last State for "If execution error or timeout" when upgrading to Grafana 8 alerting

In Grafana 8.3.0-beta2 we changed how alert rules that use `Keep Last State` for `If execution error or timeout` are upgraded from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. In 8.3.0-beta1 and earlier, alert rules with `Keep Last State` for `If execution error or timeout` were changed to `Alerting` when upgrading from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. However, in 8.3.0-beta2 these alert rules are now upgraded to a new option called `Error`. With this option, on encountering an error evaluating an alert rule, Grafana creates a special alert called `DatasourceError` with the `rule_uid` and `ref_id` as labels and an annotation called `Error` with the error message. Issue [#41869](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/41869)

### Deprecations

The access mode "browser" is deprecated in the following data sources and will be removed in a later release:

- InfluxDB
- Elasticsearch Issue [#41938](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/41938)

### Breaking changes

### Fix No Data behaviour in Legacy Alerting

In Grafana 8.2.5 and later, this change fixes a bug in the evaluation of alert rules when using the AND operator to compare two or more conditions. In Grafana 8.2.4 and earlier such alert rules would evaluate to `OK` if at least one, but not all, conditions returned no data. This change fixes that bug such that in Grafana 8.2.5 these alert rules now evaluate to `No Data`.

If an alert should evaluate to `OK` when one or all conditions return `No Data` then this can be done via changing `If no data or all values are null` to `OK`. However, this will not preserve the old behaviour in 8.2.4 where an alert will be `OK` if at least one, but not all, conditions return no data and then `No Data` if all conditions return `No Data`.

### Breaking changes

Grafana v8.2.0-beta1 caused data loss for users having enabled `ngalert` in 8.0.x - 8.1.x and created alerts using the new alerting system. This issue is now fixed except if the deployment has multiple organizations and the feature flag was enabled in the previous version (8.0.x - 8.1.x).

In this scenario (upgrade from 8.0.x - 8.1.x with multiple organizations and `ngalert` enabled to 8.2.0-beta2), the migration will assign existing notification policies and contact points to the first organization and then apply the default alertmanager configuration to all organizations. This will effectively reset notification policies for _all_ organizations. Issue [#39541](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/39541)

### Deprecations

`ngalert` feature toggle it has been deprecated it will be removed in a future release. To enable Grafana 8 alerts, modify your configuration and:

- in the `unified_alerting` section set the `enabled` property to `true`
- in the `alerting` section set the `enabled` property to `false` Issue [#38746](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/38746)

### Breaking changes

The `monaco-editor` dependency in `grafana-ui` has been updated to a newer version (`0.27.0`), which is not completely backward compatible with the old version (`0.21.2`). The backward incompatible changes are fairly small, but they do exist, so if your code accesses the raw monaco-objects through the `grafana-ui` package, please check the [monaco-editor changelog](https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) and apply any necessary changes. Issue [#39027](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/39027)

The mandatory `css` prop in `grafana/ui` components has been removed.

Previous versions of `grafana/ui` components were typed incorrectly due to a dependency mismatch between emotion 10 and 11 causing a `css` prop to be added to components that extended react types.
Issue [#38078](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/38078)

### Unified Alerting (Grafana 8 Alerting) data loss

Grafana v8.2 fixed an issue with org isolation for notification configuration but to fix this Grafana will now re-run the migration from old alerting and this will cause complete removal of all new alert rules and notification configurations. This data loss is not something we find acceptable and are working on ways to mitigate it. So in the meantime, if you are an early adopter of unified alerting please wait with trying v8.2 beta.
Issue [#37414](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/37414)

Panel queries and/or annotation queries that used more than one statistic will be converted into one query/annotation per statistic. In case an alerting rule was based on a query row that had more than one statistic, it would now be based only on the first statistic for that query row. New alerting rules will not be created for migrated queries. Please note that in most cases it would not make sense to have an alerting rule that is based on multiple statistics anyway. Issue [#36925](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/36925)

### Deprecations

`getHighlighterExpressions` in datasource APIs ( used to highlight logs while editing queries) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

# Deprecation notice

`ExploreQueryFieldProps` interface for query editors has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use `QueryEditorProps` instead. Issue [#38942](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/38942)

### Breaking changes

When parsing Elasticsearch query responses using template variables, each field gets named after the variable value instead of the name.
For example, executing a `terms` aggregation on a variable named `$groupBy` that has `@hostname` as a value, the resulting column in the table response will be `@hostname` instead of `$groupBy` Issue [#36035](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/36035)

Azure Monitor data source no longer supports different credentials for Metrics and Logs in existing data sources. To use different credentials for Azure Monitor Logs, create another data source. Issue [#35121](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/35121)

Existing Azure Metrics Logs queries for Log Analytics Workspaces should be backward compatible with this change and should not get impacted. Panels will be migrated to use the new resource-centric backend when you first edit and save them.

Application Insights and Insights Analytics queries are now read-only and cannot be modified. To update Application Insights queries, users can manually recreate them as Metrics queries, and Insights Analytics are recreated with Logs.

### Breaking changes

The default HTTP method for Prometheus data source is now POST. Previously, it was GET. The POST APIs have been available since January 2018 (Prometheus 2.1.0) and they have fewer limitations than the GET APIs. For example, when dealing with high cardinality labels, GET hits the URL size limit.

If you have a Prometheus instance with version < 2.1.0, which uses the default HTTP method, update your HTTP method to GET. Issue [#34599](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/34599)

### Breaking changes

The `workspaces()` template variable, mainly for use with Azure Monitor Logs, has been changed to return resource URIs instead of Log Analytics Workspaces GUIDs. This should not impact Azure Monitor Logs queries, but if the variables are being used in other data sources which expect a Workspace GUID may no longer be compatible.

Custom template variables used in the workspace or resource field in Azure Monitor Logs queries should resolve to an Azure Resource URI in the format `/subscriptions/{guid}/resourceGroups/{resource-group-name}/{resource-provider-namespace}/{resource-type}/{resource-name}`
