grafana/grafana-operator v5.21.0 on GitHub

Welcome to release 5.21.0 of the Grafana Operator!

It mainly includes bug fixes but also some cool new features (like kubernetes-native JWT authentication, HTTPRoute support or more flexible date parsing in alert rule groups).

We also made some changes to the helm chart. One minor change is that we removed the v prefix from our chart versions which should hopefully simplify OCI installations. We also aligned the image.repository value with other Grafana helm charts which might cause issues. More details can be found in the next section.

Breaking changes to the helm chart

If you've been using the image.repository field to change the image, this field has been split into registry and repository to align with the rest of the Grafana helm charts.

To migrate any custom values to this new format, follow this example:

Migration example

If your values.yaml contained this:

image:
  repository: example.com/my-custom/grafana-operator

you'll need to replace it with this:

image:
   registry: example.com
   repository: my-custom/grafana-operator

If you haven't changed this field in your values.yaml, you can safely ignore this.
