A couple of weeks ago, we unlocked the possibility to create your own custom Monitors. While it was running in Beta, it was only possible to do so using a YAML code. Today, we’re making it super simple for anyone. The new Wizard offers:
Step-by-step configuration - define essential details like Title, Severity, and Description with ease.
Dynamic query building - customize queries with advanced filtering options to match your specific conditions.
Visual cues - view real-time data trends directly within the wizard to fine-tune your thresholds and ensure accurate alerting.
Contextual display settings - set Resource and Context Labels to provide clear, actionable context in your alerts.
Infra metrics: Build visualizations much more intuitively by using the new “Infra metrics” mode in the Explore query builder. Instead of remembering, or browsing through, dozens of metrics in programming-language, you can now choose from a list of natural-language metric names. Simply click on the metrics selector and choose Infra Metrics to switch modes.
Create Monitor from Explore in one-click: This one we’re especially excited about - you can now convert your Explore visualization queries into custom Monitors in just a single click!
BONUS: You can now also copy your visualizations to clipboard in a single click, to easily share outside the platform.
Sampled HTTP/gRPC OpenTelemetry traces are now enriched with the data extracted from eBPF spans when sampled by groundcover’s sensor. These traces will now also display the following information:
Payloads and Headers of requests and responses
Query parameters
Enriched attributes, including cross-AZ indicators and PII status.
On November 25th, kubernetes-pods scraping job will be the only scrape job that is enabled out of the box when activating custom metrics. Nodes, apiserver, and services scrape jobs will need to be explicitly added, as described in .
