What was released

This section summarizes what was released this week.

Fast lane GA features

These features are generally available for all customers. Slow lane customers and tenants will have these features automatically enabled on July 29, 2026.

  • ai-sre: AI-SRE can now generate chart visualizations for query cards using skills, producing richer and more contextually appropriate visuals. Previously the agent generated raw OPAL to build charts, which could be complex and brittle — skills now select the right chart type and configuration for the data automatically.

  • apm: The global service dependency map now accepts environment and namespace filters, letting you scope the full graph without selecting a focal service. Previously, filtering by environment or Kubernetes namespace only worked when viewing a specific service — the global map rejected those filters entirely.

  • monitors: Monitor mute windows are now powered by the /v1/monitor-mutes REST API, moving off the legacy GraphQL API. You can now mute multiple monitors in a single create flow, and manage mute rules programmatically — the REST API is now public and GA, enabling API-first monitoring workflows and bulk incident response.

  • opal: ai_complete() now accepts optional model_parameters, response_format, and show_details arguments, matching the full Snowflake AI_COMPLETE signature. This unlocks structured JSON output, model tuning, and detailed response metadata directly from OPAL queries — previously only a bare (model, prompt) call was available.

Slow lane GA features

These features are enabled for all slow lane customers and tenants today.

  • alert-explorer: Alert Explorer now uses the new REST API for faster and more reliable alert search.
  • ai: Claude Opus 4.8 added as an agent model option with reasoning effort support for Snowflake Anthropic models.
  • expression-builder: Updated input picker and improved toolbar density.
  • monitors: Monitor mute rules now have a full REST API — create, read, update, and delete mute rules programmatically.
  • monitors: Anomaly monitors now support configurable evaluation frequency and computation window inputs.
  • monitors: Monitor preview shows sample data when no alarms are active.
  • ai-sre: Skill-based OPAL generation for AI-SRE query cards.
  • service-explorer: Inspector RED metric choices (groupings, aggregations) now persist across sessions.
  • service-explorer: Message broker services now display a dedicated icon in the dependency map and inspector.

Public preview and private preview features

Private preview () features are available by invitation only. Public preview () features are available by inquiry.

  • ai-sre: AI-SRE chat panel in the log explorer — ask questions directly from a log search view.

  • service-explorer: Correlation tag-based filtering in the Service Explorer dependency map and inspector.

Bug fixes

The following issues are fixed in this week's release:

  • ai-chat-panel: Fixed message editing not working in the AI-SRE chat panel (OB-61799)

  • dashboards: Fixed time-series groupings not being re-derived correctly on load (OB-61790)

  • observe-link: Fixed selections embedded in drilldown URLs not being recognized (OB-61882)

  • single-stat: Fixed Single Color option not applying or persisting on Single Stat cards (OB-61412)

  • tag-management: Fixed tag management drawer closing when a portaled overlay (e.g. dropdown) is opened (OB-61508)

Coming soon

The following GA features are already available for fast lane customers, and will be enabled for slow lane customers and tenants next week.

  • auth: Ingest tokens can now be rotated in-place via the API — token IDs are preserved, eliminating the need to recreate tokens and update all consumers.

  • dashboards: Per-card custom time ranges now available across all environments.

  • expression-builder: Filter condition input is now capped at ~4 rows by default with an expand button for longer expressions.

  • opal: null is now a native OPAL keyword — use it directly in filter expressions instead of variant_null().
