# Jan 2025 ## What's New - January 13, 2025 ### Expanded Coverage: Amazon EC2, Google GCE, Azure VMs We’re excited to announce that our eBPF sensor now supports non-Kubernetes Linux machines! Observability data can now flow into the groundcover platform from virtual machines, including Amazon EC2, Google GCE, and Azure VMs. With this update, you can: * View the status of these VMs directly in the platform * Create dashboards to monitor VM health * Use VMs as source filters in logs, metrics, and trace queries * Leverage additional observability features for your infrastructure ### Native Dashboards: Built for Your Observability Needs A few weeks ago, we introduced the Views tab in Explore as the first step toward a fully native dashboards experience. Now, we’re excited to launch stand-alone, groundcover-native Dashboards! What’s new in Dashboards: * Build charts and textual Widgets * Multiple display options, including stacked bar and line time series, tables, stats, and more coming soon * Use Variable filters to update dashboard data dynamically based on clusters, namespaces, nodes, workloads, etc. You can access groundcover’s native Dashboards from the left navigation bar. If you still want to use Grafana-based dashboards, they remain available—simply click the arrow next to Dashboards and select Grafana. There are no immediate plans to sunset Grafana dashboards. ### Simplified Onboarding with Monitors Catalog To further streamline onboarding and monitoring, we’re introducing the **Monitoring Catalog**—a continuously growing gallery of pre-built monitors designed for effortless setup and customization. With the Monitoring Catalog, you can: * Browse and select pre-built monitors * Instantly add monitors by clicking **“Create Monitors”** * Customize monitors using the **Wizard** for tailored alerts and thresholds Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, we’d love your feedback! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
