Self-Health Monitors, Integrations & Dashboard Updates

Faster issue response, richer context: Slack, Linear, Monitor health, and dashboard upgrades

July 2, 2026

These past 2 weeks focused on helping teams surface issues, act faster, and keep context attached from alert to resolution. Slack Connector now routes monitor notifications to the right channels and lets the groundcover agent investigate with the full thread as context, while Linear Connector turns Monitor Issues into tickets and brings Linear knowledge back into root cause analysis. We also made monitors easier to trust, with monitor health in the drawer, No Data state-change reasons and routing, and modern Monitor/Issues views with filters, facets, tables, and saved team views. Plus, Storage Management adds retention control, Treemap brings a new visualization to Explore and Dashboards, and dashboard updates add thresholds, conditional colors, Y-axis labels, decimal controls, and clearer metric formatting.

Sharper investigations, fewer dead ends: New RUM exception handling and Slack Connector in Beta

June 18, 2026

The last 2 weeks we went after the parts of an investigation where you lose time: drawers too cramped to actually read, querying that fights you, monitors that fail quietly, no clear view of where your data comes from. RUM gets a dedicated Exceptions page that starts to replace Sentry, plus a session drawer that finally resizes so you can read it. APM and a native Ingestion source are now real query targets in Explore, and monitors are first-class typed Terraform instead of a YAML blob. There's also a new Slack integration that routes monitor notifications to the right channels and lets you pull the groundcover agent into any thread or access the groundcover agent through slack, in Beta now and fully available Monday, June 22. On top of that, a long list of improvements and fixes across Dashboards, Synthetics, Logs, and Traces.

Extend your o11y agent across your entire stack with Remote MCP Connectors

June 4, 2026

This week focused on making day-to-day investigation smoother. The most impactful addition is Remote MCP Connectors, which let your groundcover Agent reach beyond observability and act across the tools where your engineering work actually happens. We also introduced AI Observability, giving you a single place to see how your AI workloads are behaving, what they're costing, and where they're slow. Beyond that, monitors got more capable, Slack setup got much easier to manage, and we cleaned up a lot of rough edges across RUM, dashboards, and logs.

Peace of mind for on-call engineers and building trust with your o11y agent

May 15, 2026

‍Agent mode has a clearer approval flow that helps you build trust that your groundcover agent won’t perform any dangerous actions. Silences have been added to monitoring for redundant alerting repression that let your on-call engineers rest easy during scheduled maintenance. Finally this week we worked on a lot of improvements to the product and bug fixes.

Improvements across the native pages

May 8, 2026

This week was focused on sharpening the experience across the platform. The Metric Summary and RUM pages became more actionable with deeper filtering and better context, AI Observability now surfaces health signals, and we cleaned up a long list of dashboard, drawer, and monitor rough edges across the platform.

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.
