What's new in GrafCrunch 9.4

GrafCrunch 9.4 is a fork of Grafana 4.1. It includes a dedicated NetCrunch plugin for Grafana and an installation module that simplifies connecting NetCrunch data source to Grafana. If you are using an older version of GrafCrunch, you can upgrade while keeping all your previously created dashboards.
