What's new this week

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 September 2, 2026.

monitors: Anomaly monitors now display an "initializing" banner while the monitor warms up, so users know it is still learning before it starts alerting. Removes ambiguity for users who see a newly created anomaly monitor with no alerts, which previously looked like a broken or empty monitor.
oauth: The OAuth consent screen now supports scope selection, so users can grant only the permissions an integration needs. Reduces over-permissioning when connecting third-party integrations.
ctags: Correlation tag mappings per dataset are now capped to prevent performance degradation from excessive tag mappings. Protects query performance for workspaces with very large numbers of correlation tag mappings.

Slow lane GA features

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

datasets: Filter datasets by correlation tag using the hasCorrelationTag() OPAL function.
datavis: Click a legend entry to isolate (focus) a series in a chart.
monitors: The /v1/monitor-mutes REST API for bulk and programmatic mute management is now available to all customers.
ai-sre: Skill-based visualization generation for AI-SRE query cards.

Public preview and private preview features

features are available by invitation only. features are available by inquiry.

ai-sre: AI-SRE can now use read-only Slack chat tools on the chat-app webhook, enabling Slack-based investigations without leaving the chat interface. Available for AI-SRE customers only (gated by the AI-SRE master switch).
ai-sre: OpalGen subagent mode now uses Sonnet 5 for improved OPAL generation and inline completions. Available for AI-SRE customers only (gated by the AI-SRE master switch).
monitors: Monitor creation AI improvements — the monitor AI can now set scheduled/cron evaluation, understands anomaly alignment and lookback constraints, and surfaces alarm previews in the monitor AI page context. Available for AI-SRE customers only (gated by the AI-SRE master switch).
ui: Redirect broken workspace IDs to the correct workspace for Cap1 tenants affected by ID mismatch. Available for Cap1 tenants only.

REST API changes

The following changes are reflected in the Observe REST API as of this release.

Updated

ReferenceTable.primaryKey: New primaryKey field (array of strings) on the ReferenceTable schema, declaring the primary key of a reference table.
ReferenceTables metadata PATCH: The PATCH /v1/reference-tables/{id} (UpdateReferenceTableMetadata) endpoint now returns 409 Conflict when a declared primary key uniqueness check fails.
MonitorV2RuleKind: The Anomaly enum value is now documented in the public API spec for monitor V2 rule kinds.
ObjectTags: The object tags schema is now extracted as a reusable ObjectTags component (previously inline on the Dataset schema).
