Access Your Grafana Dashboards and Alerts Anywhere, Anytime GrafanaUI brings complete Grafana monitoring to your iPhone and iPad. Monitor dashboards and get instant push notifications for critical alerts—even when the app is closed. Perfect for on-call engineers, SREs, and DevOps teams. WHAT’S NEW IN 2.1.0: GRAFANA CLOUD & NOTIFICATIONS Version 2.1.0 adds Grafana Cloud support via a Service Account API token—Web Auth does not work with Grafana Cloud (`*.grafana.net`); use the Grafana Cloud tab and a Viewer (read-only) token. A new Notification Center (bell icon, unread badge) delivers push for support replies and app news. Self-hosted Web Auth is more reliable for OAuth/SSO (GitHub, Google, Authentik) with Safari and passkeys. Grafana Cloud dashboard panels load correctly with API tokens; dashboard lists scroll smoothly without flicker. Also includes full alert monitoring from 2.0.x: push on the lock screen, background updates with an Alerts API token, filters, notification rules, multi-server aggregation, and battery-focused Low Power Mode & Adaptive Refresh. KEY FEATURES Alert monitoring & notifications • Push notifications; background alert updates while the app is closed • All alert states; filter by state, dashboard, folder, server, or date range • Alert detail view with metadata, labels, annotations; notification rules for muting noise • Configurable intervals; multi-server aggregation; badge counts Dashboards • Browse and search dashboards; tags; folders; favorites; WebView-based viewing with pull-to-refresh Multiple servers & authentication • Connect to multiple Grafana servers; cloud or self-hosted • Grafana Cloud: Service Account API token (Web Auth not supported on `*.grafana.net`) • Self-hosted: Web Authentication (OAuth, SAML, SSO), Basic Auth, or API tokens for alerts • In-app guide: info icon on the Grafana Cloud tab for token setup steps • Credentials stored in iOS Keychain Performance, security & design • Low Power Mode, Adaptive Refresh, smart caching • Optional PIN/biometrics; no third-party ad analytics SDKs • Offline dashboard cache where applicable; Dark Mode; 9 languages PERFECT FOR DevOps, SREs, system administrators, data analysts, and anyone using Grafana.
