+### Breaking changes
+
+Users who have InfluxDB datasource configured with SQL querying language must update their database information. They have to enter their `bucket name` into the database field. Issue [#79579](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/79579)
+
+Removes `NamespaceID` from responses of all GET routes underneath the path `/api/ruler/grafana/api/v1/rules` - 3 affected endpoints. All affected routes are not in the publicly documented or `stable` marked portion of the ngalert API. This only breaks clients who are directly using the unstable portion of the API. Such clients should use `NamespaceUID` rather than `NamespaceID` to identify namespaces. Issue [#79359](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/79359)

 # Changes are relevant to this script and the support docs.mk GNU Make interface.
 #
-
+# ## 8.0.0 (2024-05-28)
+#
+# ### Changed
+#
+# - Add environment variable `OUTPUT_FORMAT` to control the output of commands.
+#
+#   The default value is `human` and means the output format is human readable.
+#   The value `json` is also supported and outputs JSON.
+#
+#   Note that the `json` format isn't supported by `make docs`, only `make doc-validator` and `make vale`.
+#
+# ## 7.0.0 (2024-05-03)
+#
+# ### Changed
+#
+# - Pull images for all recipes that use containers by default.
+#
+#   Use the `PULL=false` variable to disable this behavior.
+#
+# ### Removed
+#
+# - The `docs-no-pull` target as it's redundant with the new `PULL=false` variable.
+#
+# ## 6.1.0 (2024-04-22)
+#
+# ### Changed
+#
+# - Mount volumes with SELinux labels.
+#
+#   https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/#configure-the-selinux-label
+#
+# ### Added
+#
+# - Pseudo project for including only website resources and no website content.
+#
+#   Facilitates testing shortcodes and layout changes with a small documentation set instead of Grafana Cloud or the entire website.
+#
+# ## 6.0.1 (2024-02-28)
+#
+# ### Added
+#
+# - Suppress new errors relating to absent content introduced in https://github.com/grafana/website/pull/17561.
+#
+# ## 6.0.0 (2024-02-16)
+#
+# ### Changed
+#
+# - Require `jq` for human readable `make doc-validator` output.
+#
+# ## 5.4.0 (2024-02-12)
+#
+# ### Changed
+#
+# - Set `WEBSITE_MOUNTS=true` when a user includes the `website` project.
+#
+#   Ensures consistent behavior across repositories.
+#   To disable website mounts, add `export WEBSITE_MOUNTS := false` to your `variables.mk` or `variables.mk.local` file.
+# - Use website mounts and container volumes also when a user includes the `grafana-cloud` project.
+#
+# ## 5.3.0 (2024-02-08)
+#
+# ### Changed
+#
+# - Updated support for plugins monorepo now that multiple projects have been moved into it.
+# - Use `printf` instead of `echo` for better portability of output.
+#
+#   https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/echo+printf/

 A _user_ is defined as any individual who can log in to Grafana. Each user is associated with a _role_ that includes _permissions_. Permissions determine the tasks a user can perform in the system. For example, the **Admin** role includes permissions for an administrator to create and delete users.

+- Add a `Reduce` expression for each query to aggregate values in the selected time range into a single value. (Not needed for [rules using numeric data](ref:alerting-on-numeric-data).
 - Add a `Math` expression with the condition for the rule. Not needed in case a query or a reduce expression already returns 0 if rule should not fire, or a positive number if it should fire. Some examples: `$B > 70` if it should fire in case value of B query/expression is more than 70. `$B < $C * 100` in case it should fire if value of B is less than value of C multiplied by 100. If queries being compared have multiple series in their results, series from different queries are matched if they have the same labels or one is a subset of the other.

+The recovery threshold feature is currently only available in OSS.
+{{% /admonition %}}
+
+To reduce the noise of flapping alerts, you can set a recovery threshold different to the alert threshold.
+
+Flapping alerts occur when a metric hovers around the alert threshold condition and may lead to frequent state changes, resulting in too many notifications being generated.
+
+Grafana-managed alert rules are evaluated for a specific interval of time. During each evaluation, the result of the query is checked against the threshold set in the alert rule. If the value of a metric is above the threshold, an alert rule fires and a notification is sent. When the value goes below the threshold and there is an active alert for this metric, the alert is resolved, and another notification is sent.
+
+It can be tricky to create an alert rule for a noisy metric. That is, when the value of a metric continually goes above and below a threshold. This is called flapping and results in a series of firing - resolved - firing notifications and a noisy alert state history.
+
+For example, if you have an alert for latency with a threshold of 1000ms and the number fluctuates around 1000 (say 980 ->1010 -> 990 -> 1020, and so on) then each of those will trigger a notification.
+
+To solve this problem, you can set a (custom) recovery threshold, which basically means having two thresholds instead of one. An alert is triggered when the first threshold is crossed and is resolved only when the second threshold is crossed.
+
+For example, you could set a threshold of 1000ms and a recovery threshold of 900ms. This way, an alert rule will only stop firing when it goes under 900ms and flapping is reduced.

 The main difference between a label and an annotation is that labels are used to differentiate an alert from all other alerts, while annotations are used to add additional information to an existing alert.
 
-For example, consider two high CPU alerts: one for `server1` and another for `server2`. In such an example we might have a label called `server` where the first alert has the label `server="server1"` and the second alert has the label `server="server2"`. However, we might also want to add a description to each alert such as `"The CPU usage for server1 is above 75%."`, where `server1` and `75%` are replaced with the name and CPU usage of the server (please refer to the documentation on [templating labels and annotations][variables-label-annotation] for how to do this). This kind of description would be more suitable as an annotation.

 When using custom labels with templates it is important to make sure that the label value does not change between consecutive evaluations of the alert rule as this will end up creating large numbers of distinct alerts. However, it is OK for the template to produce different label values for different alerts. For example, do not put the value of the query in a custom label as this will end up creating a new set of alerts each time the value changes. Instead use annotations.

 Repeat interval decides how often notifications are repeated if the group has not changed since the last notification. You can think of these as reminders that some alerts are still firing. Repeat interval is closely related to Group interval, which means your Repeat interval must not only be greater than or equal to Group interval, but also must be a multiple of Group interval. If Repeat interval is not a multiple of Group interval it will be coerced into one. For example, if your Group interval is 5 minutes, and your Repeat interval is 9 minutes, the Repeat interval will be rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5 which is 10 minutes.

 # Upgrade Alerting
 
-Grafana Alerting is enabled by default for new installations or existing installations whether or not legacy alerting is configured.
-
 {{% admonition type="note" %}}
-When upgrading, your dashboard alerts are migrated to a new format. This migration can be rolled back easily by opting out. If you have any questions regarding this migration, please contact us.
+Legacy alerting will be removed in Grafana v11.0.0. We recommend that you upgrade to Grafana Alerting as soon as possible.
+For more information, refer to [Legacy alerting deprecation]({{< relref "./legacy-alerting-deprecation" >}}).
 {{% /admonition %}}
 
-Existing installations that do not use legacy alerting will have Grafana Alerting enabled by default unless alerting is disabled in the configuration.
+Grafana provides two methods for a seamless automatic upgrade of legacy alert rules and notification channels to Grafana Alerting:
 
-Likewise, existing installations that use legacy alerting will be automatically upgraded to Grafana Alerting unless you have opted out of Grafana Alerting before migration takes place. During the upgrade, legacy alerts are migrated to the new alerts type and no alerts or alerting data are lost.
-
-Once the upgrade has taken place, you still have the option to roll back to legacy alerting. However, we do not recommend choosing this option. If you do choose to roll back, Grafana will restore your alerts to the alerts you had at the point in time when the upgrade took place.
+1. **Upgrade with Preview** (Recommended): Offers a safe and controlled preview environment where you can review and adjust your upgraded alerts before fully enabling Grafana Alerting.
+2. **Simple Upgrade**: One-step upgrade method for specific needs where a preview environment is not essential.
 
 {{% admonition type="note" %}}
-Cloud customers, who do not want to upgrade to Grafana Alerting, should contact customer support.
+When upgrading with either method, your legacy dashboard alerts and notification channels are copied to a new format. This is non-destructive and can be [rolled back easily]({{< relref "#rolling-back-to-legacy-alerting" >}}).

+- Grafana administrator access.
+- Enable `alertingPreviewUpgrade` [feature toggle]({{< relref "../../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/feature-toggles" >}}).
 
-You can opt out of Grafana Alerting at any time and switch to using legacy alerting. Alternatively, you can opt out of using alerting in its entirety.
+### Suited for
 
-## Stay on legacy alerting
+- **Complex setups**: Large deployments with intricate alert rules and notification channels.
+- **Risk-averse environments**: Situations where minimizing disruption and ensuring a smooth transition are critical.
+- **Collaborative teams**: Projects where feedback and review from stakeholders are valuable.
+- **Heavy as-code use**: Deployments with large or complex as-code configurations.
 
-When upgrading to Grafana > 9.0, existing installations that use legacy alerting are automatically upgraded to Grafana Alerting unless you have opted-out of Grafana Alerting before migration takes place. During the upgrade, legacy alerts are migrated to the new alerts type and no alerts or alerting data are lost. To keep using legacy alerting and deactivate Grafana Alerting:
+### Overview
 
-1. Go to your custom configuration file ($WORKING_DIR/conf/custom.ini).
-2. Enter the following in your configuration:
+In **Alerts & IRM**, the **Alerting** section provides a preview of Grafana Alerting where you can review and modify your upgraded alerts before finalizing the upgrade.
+
+In the **Alerting (legacy) -> Alerting upgrade** section, you can initiate the process to automatically upgrade your existing alert rules and notification channels, and view a summary of the upgrade to Grafana Alerting.
+
+Finalize your upgrade by restarting Grafana with the `[unified_alerting]` section enabled in your configuration.
+
+{{% admonition type="note" %}}
+Alerts generated by the new alerting system are visible in the **Alerting** section of the navigation panel but are not active until the upgrade is finalized.
+{{% /admonition %}}
+
+### To upgrade with preview, complete the following steps.
+
+1. **Preview the Upgrade**:
+   - **Initiate the process**: Access the upgrade functionality within Grafana by visiting the **Alerting upgrade** page in the **Alerting (legacy)** section of the navigation panel. From this page you can upgrade your existing alert rules and notification channels to the new Grafana Alerting system.
+   - **Review the summary table:** Review the detailed table outlining how your existing alert rules and notification channels were upgraded to resources in the new Grafana Alerting system.
+1. **Investigate and Resolve Errors**:
+   - **Identify errors**: Carefully examine the previewed upgrade:
+     - Any alert rules or notification channels that couldn't be automatically upgraded will be highlighted with error indicators.
+     - New or removed alert rules and notification channels will be highlighted with warning indicators.
+   - **Address errors**: You have two options to resolve these issues:
+     - **Fix legacy issues**: If possible, address the problems within your legacy alerting setup and attempt to upgrade the specific resource again.
+     - **Create new resources**: If fixing legacy issues isn't viable, create new alert rules, notification policies, or contact points manually within the new Grafana Alerting system to replace the problematic ones.
+1. **Update As-Code Setup** (Optional):
+   - **Export upgraded resources**: If you use provisioning methods to manage alert rules and notification channels, you can export the upgraded versions to generate provisioning files compatible with Grafana Alerting.
+   - **Test new provisioning definitions**: Ensure your as-code setup aligns with the new system before completing the upgrade process. Both legacy and Grafana Alerting alerts can be provisioned simultaneously to facilitate a smooth transition.
+1. **Finalize the Upgrade**:
+   - **Contact your Grafana server administrator**: Once you're confident in the state of your previewed upgrade, request to [enable Grafana Alerting]({{< relref "#enable-grafana-alerting" >}}).
+   - **Continued use for upgraded organizations**: Organizations that have already completed the preview upgrade will seamlessly continue using their configured setup.
+   - **Automatic upgrade for others**: Organizations that haven't initiated the upgrade with preview process will undergo the traditional automatic upgrade during this restart.
+   - **Address issues before restart**: Exercise caution, as Grafana will not start if any traditional automatic upgrades encounter errors. Ensure all potential issues are resolved before initiating this step.
+
+## Simple Upgrade
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Grafana `v9.0.0 or later` (more recent versions are recommended).
+
+### Suited for
+
+- **Simple setups**: Limited number of alerts and channels with minimal complexity.
+- **Testing environments**: Where a quick upgrade without a preview is sufficient.
+- **Large fleets**: Where manually reviewing each instance is not feasible.
+
+### Overview
+
+While we recommend the **Upgrade with Preview** method for its enhanced safety and control, the **Simple Upgrade Method** exists for specific situations where a preview environment is not essential. For example, if you have a large fleet of Grafana instances and want to upgrade them all without the need to review and adjust each one individually.
+
+Configure your Grafana instance to enable Grafana Alerting and disable legacy alerting. Then restart Grafana to automatically upgrade your existing alert rules and notification channels to the new Grafana Alerting system.
+
+Once Grafana Alerting is enabled, you can review and adjust your upgraded alerts in the **Alerting** section of the navigation panel as well as export them for as-code setup.
+
+### To perform the simple upgrade, complete the following steps.
+
+{{% admonition type="note" %}}
+Any errors encountered during the upgrade process will fail the upgrade and prevent Grafana from starting. If this occurs, you can [roll back to legacy alerting]({{< relref "#rolling-back-to-legacy-alerting" >}}).
+{{% /admonition %}}
+
+1. **Upgrade to Grafana Alerting**:
+   - **Enable Grafana Alerting**: [Modify custom configuration file]({{< relref "#enable-grafana-alerting" >}}).
+   - **Restart Grafana**: Restart Grafana for the configuration changes to take effect. Grafana will automatically upgrade your existing alert rules and notification channels to the new Grafana Alerting system.
+1. **Review and Adjust Upgraded Alerts**:
+   - **Review the upgraded alerts**: Go to the `Alerting` section of the navigation panel to review the upgraded alerts.
+   - **Export upgraded resources**: If you use provisioning methods to manage alert rules and notification channels, you can export the upgraded versions to generate provisioning files compatible with Grafana Alerting.
+
+## Additional Information
+
+### Enable Grafana Alerting
+
+Go to your custom configuration file ($WORKING_DIR/conf/custom.ini) and enter the following in your configuration:

+There are some differences between Grafana Alerting and legacy dashboard alerts, and a number of features that are no longer supported.
 
 **Differences**
 
-1. When Grafana Alerting is enabled or upgraded to Grafana 9.0 or later, existing legacy dashboard alerts migrate in a format compatible with the Grafana Alerting. In the Alerting page of your Grafana instance, you can view the migrated alerts alongside any new alerts.
-   This topic explains how legacy dashboard alerts are migrated and some limitations of the migration.
+1. Read and write access to legacy dashboard alerts are governed by the dashboard permissions (including the inherited permissions from the folder) while Grafana alerts are governed by the permissions of the folder only. During the upgrade, an alert rule might be moved to a different folder to match the permissions of the dashboard. The following rules apply:
 
-1. Read and write access to legacy dashboard alerts and Grafana alerts are governed by the permissions of the folders storing them. During migration, legacy dashboard alert permissions are matched to the new rules permissions as follows:
+   - If the inherited dashboard permissions are different from the permissions of the folder, then the rule is moved to a new folder named after the original: `<Original folder name> - <Permission Hash>`.
+   - If the inherited dashboard permissions are the same as the permissions of the folder, then the rule is moved to the original folder.
+   - If the dashboard is in the `General` or `Dashboards` folder (i.e. no folder), then the rule is moved to a new `General Alerting - <Permission Hash>` folder.
 
-   - If there are dashboard permissions, a folder named `Migrated {"dashboardUid": "UID", "panelId": 1, "alertId": 1}` is created to match the permissions of the dashboard (including the inherited permissions from the folder).
-   - If there are no dashboard permissions and the dashboard is in a folder, then the rule is linked to this folder and inherits its permissions.
-   - If there are no dashboard permissions and the dashboard is in the General folder, then the rule is linked to the `General Alerting` folder and the rule inherits the default permissions.
+1. `NoData` and `Error` settings are upgraded as is to the corresponding settings in Grafana Alerting, except in two situations:
 
-1. `NoData` and `Error` settings are migrated as is to the corresponding settings in Grafana Alerting, except in two situations:
+   - As there is no `Keep Last State` option in Grafana Alerting, this option becomes either [`NoData` or `Error`](ref:alerting_config_error_handling). If using the `Simple Upgrade Method` Grafana automatically creates a 1 year silence for each alert rule with this configuration. If the alert evaluation returns no data or fails (error or timeout), then it creates a [special alert](ref:special_alert), which will be silenced by the silence created during the upgrade.
+   - Due to lack of validation, legacy alert rules imported via JSON or provisioned along with dashboards can contain arbitrary values for [`NoData` or `Error`](ref:alerting_config_error_handling). In this situation, Grafana will use the default setting: `NoData` for No data, and `Error` for Error.
 
-   3.1. As there is no `Keep Last State` option in Grafana Alerting, this option becomes either [`NoData` or `Error`](/docs/sources/alerting/alerting-rules/create-grafana-managed-rule/#configure-no-data-and-error-handling). To match the behavior of the `Keep Last State` as closely as possible during the migration Grafana automatically creates a silence for each alert rule with a duration of 1 year. If the alert evaluation returns no data or fails (error or timeout), then it creates a [special alert](/docs/sources/alerting/fundamentals/alert-rules/state-and-health/#special-alerts-for-nodata-and-error), which will be silenced by the silence created during the migration.

Due to lack of validation, legacy alert rules imported via JSON or provisioned along with dashboards can contain arbitrary values for [`NoData` or `Error`](/docs/sources/alerting/alerting-rules/create-grafana-managed-rule/#configure-no-data-and-error-handling). In this situation, Grafana will use the default setting: `NoData` for No data, and `Error` for Error.

-1. Notification channels are migrated to an Alertmanager configuration with the appropriate routes and receivers. Default notification channels are added as contact points to the default route. Notification channels not associated with any Dashboard alert go to the `autogen-unlinked-channel-recv` route.

 1. Unlike legacy dashboard alerts where images in notifications are enabled per contact point, images in notifications for Grafana Alerting must be enabled in the Grafana configuration, either in the configuration file or environment variables, and are enabled for either all or no contact points.
 
 1. The JSON format for webhook notifications has changed in Grafana Alerting and uses the format from [Prometheus Alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/configuration/#webhook_config).
 
-1. Alerting on Prometheus `Both` type queries is not supported in Grafana Alerting. Existing legacy alerts with `Both` type queries are migrated to Grafana Alerting as alerts with `Range` type queries.

 **Limitations**
 
-1. Since `Hipchat` and `Sensu` notification channels are no longer supported, legacy alerts associated with these channels are not automatically migrated to Grafana Alerting. Assign the legacy alerts to a supported notification channel so that you continue to receive notifications for those alerts.

+Manage your alerting resources using files from disk. When you start Grafana, the data from these files is created in your Grafana system. Grafana adds any new resources you created, updates any that you changed, and deletes old ones.
 
 Arrange your files in a directory in a way that best suits your use case. For example, you can choose a team-based layout where every team has its own file, you can have one big file for all your teams; or you can have one file per resource type.
 
 Details on how to set up the files and which fields are required for each object are listed below depending on which resource you are provisioning.
 
-**Note:**
+For a complete guide about how Grafana provisions resources, refer to the [Provision Grafana](ref:provisioning) documentation.

-### Provision alert rules
+- You cannot edit provisioned resources from files in Grafana. You can only change the resource properties by changing the provisioning file and restarting Grafana or carrying out a hot reload. This prevents changes being made to the resource that would be overwritten if a file is provisioned again or a hot reload is carried out.

 This eliminates the need for a persistent database to use Grafana Alerting in Kubernetes; all your provisioned resources appear after each restart or re-deployment. Grafana still requires a database for normal operation, you do not need to persist the contents of the database between restarts if all objects are provisioned using files.

-# Manage provisioned alerting resources in Grafana
-
-Verify that your alerting resources were created in Grafana, as well as edit or export your provisioned alerting resources.
-
-## View provisioned alerting resoureces
-
-To view your provisioned resources in Grafana, complete the following steps.
-
-1. Open your Grafana instance.
-1. Navigate to Alerting.
-1. Click an alerting resource folder, for example, Alert rules.
-
-Provisioned resources are labeled **Provisioned**, so that it is clear that they were not created manually.
-
-## Export provisioned alerting resources
-
-Export your alerting resources, such as alert rules, contact points, and notification policies in JSON, YAML, or Terraform format. You can export all Grafana-managed alert rules, single folders, and single groups.
-
-To export provisioned alerting resources from the Grafana UI, complete the following steps.
-
-1. Click **Alerts & IRM** -> **Alert rules**.
-1. To export all Grafana-managed rules, click **More v** -> **Export all Grafana-managed rules**.
-1. To export a folder, change the **View as** to **List**.
-1. Select the folder you want to export and click the **Export rules folder** icon.
-1. To export a group, change the **View as** to **Grouped**.
-1. Find the group you want to export and click the **Export rule group** icon.
-1. Choose the format to export in.
-
-   Note that formats JSON and YAML are suitable only for file provisioning. To get rule definition in provisioning API format, use the provisioning GET API.
-
-1. Click **Copy Code** or **Download**.
-1. Choose **Copy Code** to go to an existing file and paste in the code.
-1. Choose **Download** to download a file with the exported data.
-
-## Edit provisioned alert rules
-
-Use the **Modify export** mode for alert rules to edit provisioned alert rules and export a modified version.
-
-{{% admonition type="note" %}} This feature is for Grafana-managed alert rules only. It is available to Admin, Viewer, and Editor roles. {{% /admonition %}}
-
-To edit provisioned alerting alert rules from the Grafana UI, complete the following steps.
-
-1. Click **Alerts & IRM** -> **Alert rules**.
-1. Locate the alert rule you want to edit and click **More** -> **Modify Export** to open the Alert Rule form.
-1. From the Alert Rule form, edit the fields you want to change.
-1. Click **Export** to export all alert rules within the group.
-
-   You can only export groups of rules; not single rules.
-   The exported rule data appears in different formats - HTML, JSON, Terraform.
-
-1. Choose the format to export in.
-1. Click **Copy Code** or **Download**.
-
-   a. Choose **Copy Code** to go to an existing file and paste in the code.
-
-   b. Choose **Download** to download a file with the exported data.
-
-## Edit API-provisioned alerting resources
-
-To enable editing of API-provisioned resources in the Grafana UI, add the `X-Disable-Provenance` header to the following requests in the API:
-
-- `POST /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules`
-- `PUT /api/v1/provisioning/folder/{FolderUID}/rule-groups/{Group}` (calling this endpoint will change provenance for all alert rules within the alert group)
-- `POST /api/v1/provisioning/contact-points`
-- `POST /api/v1/provisioning/mute-timings`
-- `PUT /api/v1/provisioning/policies`
-- `PUT /api/v1/provisioning/templates/{name}`
-
-To reset the notification policy tree to the default and unlock it for editing in the Grafana UI, use the `DELETE /api/v1/provisioning/policies` endpoint.
-
-To pass the `X-Disable-Provenance` header from Terraform, add it to the `http_headers` field on the provider object:
-
-```
-provider "grafana" {
-  url  = "http://grafana.example.com/"
-  auth = var.grafana_auth
-  http_headers = {
-    "X-Disable-Provenance" = "true"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Note:**
-
-You cannot edit provisioned resources from files in Grafana. You can only change the resource properties by changing the provisioning file and restarting Grafana or carrying out a hot reload. This prevents changes being made to the resource that would be overwritten if a file is provisioned again or a hot reload is carried out.

+
+# Breaking changes in Grafana v10.3
+
+Following are breaking changes that you should be aware of when upgrading to Grafana v10.3. Breaking changes that were introduced in release 10.2.3 are also included here and are marked with an asterisk.
+
+For our purposes, a breaking change is any change that requires users or operators to do something. This includes:
+
+- Changes in one part of the system that could cause other components to fail
+- Deprecations or removal of a feature
+- Changes to an API that could break automation
+- Changes that affect some plugins or functions of Grafana
+- Migrations that can’t be rolled back
+
+For each change, the provided information:
+
+- Helps you determine if you’re affected
+- Describes the change or relevant background information
+- Guides you in how to mitigate for the change or migrate
+- Provides more learning resources
+
+For release highlights and deprecations, refer to our [v10.3 What’s new](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/whatsnew/whats-new-in-v10-3/). For the specific steps we recommend when you upgrade to v10.3, check out our [Upgrade guide](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/upgrade-guide/upgrade-v10.3/).
+
+<!--
+## Feature
+
+You must use relative references when linking to docs within the Grafana repo. Please do not use absolute URLs. For more information about relrefs, refer to [Links and references](/docs/writers-toolkit/writing-guide/references/).-->
+
+## General breaking changes
+
+### Transformations\*
+
+In panels using the extract fields transformation, where one of the extracted names collides with one of the already existing fields, the extracted field will be renamed. Issue [#77569](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/77569).
+
+If you use the Table visualization, you might see some inconsistencies in your panels. We have updated the table column naming. This will potentially affect field transformations and/or field overrides. To resolve this, either:
+
+- Update the transformation you are using
+- Update field override. Issue [#76899](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/76899).
+
+Users who have transformations with the Time field might see their transformations are not working. Those panels that have broken transformations will fail to render. This is because we changed the field key. See related PR: [#69865](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/69865). To resolve this, either:
+
+- Remove the affected panel and re-create it
+- Select the Time field again
+- Edit the time field as Time for transformation in panel.json or dashboard.json. Issue [#76641](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/76641).
+
+### Data source permissions\*
+
+The following data source permission endpoints have been removed:
+
+- `GET /datasources/:datasourceId/permissions`
+- `POST /api/datasources/:datasourceId/permissions`
+- `DELETE /datasources/:datasourceId/permissions`
+- `POST /datasources/:datasourceId/enable-permissions`
+- `POST /datasources/:datasourceId/disable-permissions`
+
+Please use the following endpoints instead:
+
+- `GET /api/access-control/datasources/:uid` for listing data source permissions
+- `POST /api/access-control/datasources/:uid/users/:id`, `POST /api/access-control/datasources/:uid/teams/:id`, and `POST /api/access-control/datasources/:uid/buildInRoles/:id` for adding or removing data source permissions
+
+If you are using the Grafana provider for Terraform to manage data source permissions, you will need to upgrade your provider to [version 2.6.0](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/grafana/grafana/2.6.0/docs) or newer to ensure that data source permission provisioning keeps working. Issue [#5880](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-enterprise/pull/5880).

 # Dashboards
 
-A dashboard is a set of one or more [panels][] organized and arranged into one or more rows. Grafana ships with a variety of panels making it easy to construct the right queries, and customize the visualization so that you can create the perfect dashboard for your need. Each panel can interact with data from any configured Grafana [data source][].
+A dashboard is a set of one or more [panels](ref:panels) organized and arranged into one or more rows. Grafana ships with a variety of panels making it easy to construct the right queries, and customize the visualization so that you can create the perfect dashboard for your need. Each panel can interact with data from any configured Grafana [data source](ref:data-source).
 
 Dashboard snapshots are static. Queries and expressions cannot be re-executed from snapshots. As a result, if you update any variables in your query or expression, it will not change your dashboard data.
 
 Before you begin, ensure that you have configured a data source. See also:

 - When you must copy a dashboard, clearly rename it and _do not_ copy the dashboard tags. Tags are important metadata for dashboards that are used during search. Copying tags can result in false matches.
 - Maintain a dashboard of dashboards or cross-reference dashboards. This can be done in several ways:
-  - Create dashboard links, panel, or data links. Links can go to other dashboards or to external systems. For more information, refer to [Manage dashboard links][].
-  - Add a [Dashboard list panel][]. You can then customize what you see by doing tag or folder searches.

-## Troubleshoot dashboards
-
-This section provides information to help you solve common dashboard problems.
-
-### Dashboard is slow
-
-- Are you trying to render dozens (or hundreds or thousands) of time-series on a graph? This can cause the browser to lag. Try using functions like `highestMax` (in Graphite) to reduce the returned series.
-- Sometimes the series names can be very large. This causes larger response sizes. Try using `alias` to reduce the size of the returned series names.
-- Are you querying many time-series or for a long range of time? Both of these conditions can cause Grafana or your data source to pull in a lot of data, which may slow it down.
-- It could be high load on your network infrastructure. If the slowness isn't consistent, this may be the problem.
-
-### Dashboard refresh rate issues
-
-By default, Grafana queries your data source every 30 seconds. Setting a low refresh rate on your dashboards puts unnecessary stress on the backend. In many cases, querying this frequently isn't necessary because the data isn't being sent to the system such that changes would be seen.
-
-We recommend the following:
-
-- Only enable auto-refreshing on dashboards, panels, or variables unless if necessary. Users can refresh their browser manually, or you can set the refresh rate for a time period that makes sense (every ten minutes, every hour, and so on).
-- If it's required, then set the refresh rate to once a minute. Users can always refresh the dashboard manually.
-- If your dashboard has a longer time period (such as a week), then you really don't need automated refreshing.
-
-#### Handling or rendering null data is wrong or confusing
-
-Some applications publish data intermittently; for example, they only post a metric when an event occurs. By default, Grafana graphs connect lines between the data points. This can be very deceiving.
-
-In the picture below we've enabled:
-
-- Points and 3-point radius to highlight where data points are actually present.
-- **Connect null values\* is set to **Always\*\*.

+
+# Troubleshoot dashboards
+
+Use the following strategies to help you troubleshoot common dashboard problems.
+
+## Dashboard is slow
+
+- Are you trying to render dozens (or hundreds or thousands) of time series on a graph? This can cause the browser to lag. Try using functions like `highestMax` (in Graphite) to reduce the number of returned series.
+- Sometimes series names can be very large. This causes larger response sizes. Try using `alias` to reduce the size of the returned series names.
+- Are you querying many time series or a long time range? Both of these conditions can cause Grafana or your data source to pull in a lot of data, which may slow the dashboard down. Try reducing one or both of these.
+- There could be high load on your network infrastructure. If the slowness isn't consistent, this may be the problem.
+
+## Dashboard refresh rate issues
+
+By default, Grafana queries your data source every 30 seconds. However, setting a low refresh rate on your dashboards puts unnecessary stress on the backend. In many cases, querying this frequently isn't necessary because the data source isn't sending data often enough for there to be changes every 30 seconds.
+
+We recommend the following:
+
+- Only enable auto-refreshing on dashboards, panels, or variables if necessary. Users can refresh their browser manually.
+- If you require auto-refreshing, then set the refresh rate to a longer time period that makes sense, such as once a minute, every 10 minutes, or every hour.
+- Check the time range of your dashboard. If your dashboard has a longer time range, such as a week, then you really don't need automated refreshing and you should disable it.
+
+## Handling or rendering null data is wrong or confusing
+
+Some applications publish data intermittently; for example, they only post a metric when an event occurs. By default, Grafana graphs connect lines between the data points, but this can be deceptive.
+
+The graph in the following image has:
+
+- Points and 3-point radius enabled to highlight where data points are actually present.
+- **Connect null values** set to **Always**.
+
+{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/troubleshooting/grafana_null_connected.png" max-width="1200px" alt="Graph with null values connected" >}}
+
+The graph in this next image shows bars instead of lines and has the **No value** option under **Standard options** set to **0**.
+
+{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/troubleshooting/grafana_null_zero.png" max-width="1200px" alt="Graph with null values not connected" >}}
+
+As you can see, there's a significant difference in the visualizations.
