Observability for AI Tools, Improved Connected Apps Flows, and More Self-Serve Options

March 15, 2026

Many production environments now rely on AI development tools. groundcover now lets you monitor them just like any other production component. View traces from your AI tools directly in groundcover, build dashboards, and create monitors to track performance, usage, and cost. We haven’t stopped there and made more improvements and bug fixes in dashboards, monitors, connected apps and RUM. Check the list below!

AI Tools Observability

We added support for ingesting telemetry data from popular AI development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw and Claude Cowork.

Integrating with these tools provide you with:

  1. Analyze traces to Debug AI agents and workflows using traces and telemetry
  2. Set dashboards to understands how the AI tools interact with your production environment, including usage, performance, and cost
  3. Add monitors to ensure production-grade stability of the AI tools your teams rely on

Navigate to the Data Sources page, locate the AI tool you use, and follow the step-by-step setup guide

  • Integrations | Added integrations with Cloudflare Logpush and JSON logs
  • Integrations | Expanded the supported namespace list in the Azure integration
  • Integrations | Improved the data source layout for easier navigation
  • AWS integration | Added support for pulling additional stats for existing metrics on top of the default set provided by groundcover
  • BYOC Self-Serve | Added support for self serve GCP backend installation through the Console

What Changed: Old vs. New

Capability Before Now
Monitor creation Basic form with static text fields Wizard with Pongo2 (Jinja2) templating and variable autocomplete
Notification preview None. Trial and error on real notifications after saving Preview matching notification routes before saving
Notification testing None. Trial and error on real notifications after saving Simulate an issue to verify routes and connected apps fire correctly
Notification delivery control All or nothing via workflow attachment Per-monitor choice: notification routes, direct to connected app, or silent

Workflows vs. Notification Routes

Capability Workflows Notification Routes
Alert routing Written in YAML with multi-step actions, annotation-based monitor matching, and filters A dedicated UI, gcQL-based matching, simple status and connected app choice
Monitor to route association Annotation keys on monitors matched to workflow names Matching based on any metadata present on the issue, including monitor metadata like severity, dynamic group-by labels, and custom labels
Conditional filtering Go-template expressions in action conditions, for example {{ alert.labels.namespace }} == "prod" Built into the route query using standard gcQL syntax
Infrastructure as Code No support Full Terraform support

Notification Integrations vs. Connected Apps

Capability Notification Integrations Connected Apps
Notification destinations Slack, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, webhooks All previous providers + Rootly, incident.io
Integration validation None. Trial and error on real notifications after saving Built-in connection testing from the UI
Infrastructure as Code No support Full Terraform support
