groundcover adds RUM capabilities, becoming the first-ever BYOC frontend monitoring solution

Real User Monitoring (RUM) extends groundcover's observability platform to the client side, giving you visibility into actual user interactions and front-end performance. Track how real users experience your web application and correlate this data with backend metrics, logs, and traces for a complete system view.

Most importantly, it enables you to gain all the capabilities of a frontend monitoring tool without the need to expose any of your user data to a third-party provider!

  • Understand user experience - monitor interactions, page loads, and performance metrics from the user's perspective to identify front-end issues instantly.

  • Resolve issues faster - connect front-end events with backend traces and logs in one unified platform, enabling seamless end-to-end troubleshooting.

  • Privacy first - groundcover's Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model keeps all RUM data within your cloud environment. Your users' sensitive data stays in your infrastructure, maintaining privacy and compliance while providing full insights.

Gain super granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) data policies

We're excited to announce that our RBAC functionality is now greatly expanded, giving you total control over who can access what observability data across all areas of your environment. Use high-level policies or get super-granular with our new UI controls.

With RBAC, you can:

  • Assign users classic Admin, Editor, or Read-Only roles

  • Create custom policies using your own set of rules

  • Control access by observability area (logs, metrics, traces, events, workloads)

  • Scope permissions at different levels (cluster, namespace, and environment)

New Logs insights, Webhooks, and native cloud metrics

Today, we’re excited to roll out our latest product updates, designed to help you troubleshoot issues faster and automate your workflows like never before.

Smart anomaly detection with Log Insights

We're launching an exciting Data Science-powered feature, bringing AI-driven insights directly into your logs. This powerful addition automatically detects workloads with error spikes, so you can catch issues before they escalate.

No more manual log hunting, get surfaced insights instantly!

And this is just the beginning! We're already developing similar insights for the Traces page.

Automate your incident response flows with Webhooks

Webhook-based alerting is now live! This means you can now integrate directly with third-party incident response tools like Incident.io, Linear, Shortcut, tines, in addition to our existing integrations with OpsGenie, PagerDuty, and Slack, to automate workflows and notify the right teams instantly.

Native cloud metrics integrations

Cloud provider metrics are a crucial part of building a holistic view into the state of your environments. We are excited to announce we have released a new set of native integrations to pull those metrics into your groundcover environment and use them seamlessly in native monitors and dashboards.
