Weekly updates on new features, improvements, and fixes across groundcover.

Polished AI Trace View & Smarter Agent Monitors

April 9, 2026

AI Observability traces get a visual overhaul with a polished span tree and attributes tab. The Agent can now modify your monitors directly. Plus improvements to the prompt queue and Data Explorer.

AI Observability | Polished Span Tree & Attributes Tab

The span tree got a visual overhaul - cleaner connectors between spans, semantic indicators to distinguish model calls from tool executions and agent decisions at a glance, and overall polish across the layout. We also added a dedicated Attributes tab with improved visualization, so you can browse attributes in a structured view instead of scanning through raw span data.

Agent | Modify Monitors from Chat

The Agent can now update your monitors directly. Change thresholds, edit descriptions, and modify notification routing - all from the chat interface without switching to the Monitor Wizard. Useful when you're investigating an issue and realize a monitor needs tuning. Tell the Agent what to change and it handles the update.
