What

Bumps the default Grafana image from 10.0.1 (June 2023, out of support since 2024) to 13.1.0 (current stable), and documents the operator-facing consequences in the v6.0.0 release notes.

Why

  • Two majors of security fixes on a network-facing, credential-holding component.
  • The newer [auth.jwt] support is what machine-to-machine consumers (Support client-credentials OIDC clients via serviceAccountsEnabled #668) use to sign in with tokens — including the dev-mode JWKS exemption needed on non-TLS test deployments (the https-scheme check is unconditional in 10.0.1; verified conditional in 12.x/13.1.0 source).
  • Removes per-deployment drift: existing dev clusters already override the tag upwards.

Breaking changes documented (from the Grafana 10 baseline)

  • One-way dashboard schema migration in v13 — snapshot the Grafana PV before upgrading; no downgrade after.
  • AngularJS plugin removal (disabled in 11, gone in 12) — core panels fine, legacy Graph/Table auto-migrate, third-party Angular plugins stop rendering.
  • viewPanel deep-link format change (11) — single-panel bookmarks/kiosk URLs need re-copying; whole-dashboard links unchanged.
  • Image renderer plugin + legacy alerting removed upstream — ACS deploys neither.

Not touched: the Grafana Helm chart dependency stays at 6.52.4; this is an image bump only.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Grafana 10.x left support in 2024. 13.1.0 brings two majors of security
fixes and the auth.jwt support (with its dev-mode JWKS exemption) that
machine-to-machine token sign-in relies on.

Release notes cover the operator-facing breaking changes: the one-way
dashboard schema migration (snapshot the PV first), AngularJS plugin
removal, and the viewPanel deep-link format change.
