### 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)

- **Visualizations:** Stack negative-valued series downwards. [#47373](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/47373), [@leeoniya](https://github.com/leeoniya)

### 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)

### Deprecations

AngularJS plugin support is now in a deprecated state, meaning it will be removed in a future release. Currently, that is planned for version 10 (in 2023). The documentation site has an [article](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/developers/angular_deprecation/) with more details on why, when, and how.

### 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:

- Prometheus
- 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}`
