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 9, 2026.
- global-tags: Create, edit, and manage tag key-value mappings from a central Global Tag Management UI, applying them consistently across datasets without editing individual pipelines. Gives platform teams a single place to govern correlation tag mappings at scale.
- ai-sre: AI-SRE now uses Observe's native REST APIs for investigations, delivering faster and more accurate query results. The MCP settings page and CLI install instructions are now accessible to all customers in Settings.
- datasets: Real freshness is now shown in the dataset UI, displaying the actual p90 time since the last row arrived rather than a synthetic estimate. The staleness reason now reflects how far the dataset is from its configured freshness goal, replacing the legacy threshold-based message.
Slow lane GA features
These features are enabled for all slow lane customers and tenants today.
No new slow lane promotions this release.
Public preview and private preview features
features are available by invitation only. features are available by inquiry.
- monitor-v2: When creating a new monitor, the evaluation delay now auto-defaults to the freshness of the slowest input dataset and updates whenever the query's dataset set changes. The delay is pinned once the user edits it manually. Available for AI-SRE customers only (gated by the AI-SRE master switch).
Bug fixes
The following issues are fixed in this week's release:
- embed: AI-SRE agent memories and semantic dataset search now work in the Canada (prod-ca-1) and EU West 2 (prod-eu-2) regions, where the Snowflake Cortex Embed API was previously unreachable. (OB-62718)
- datasets: Fixed an internal server error on every query over a dataset when the query filter references a link column. (OB-62720)
- systemsender: Fixed silent log data loss: the gRPC client stream was closed without waiting for the server to receive buffered bundles, so a process that exited right after a send silently dropped its last log bundle. (OB-63922)
- ui: Fixed two white-screen-of-death crashes — one caused by a NaN ratio in the ScrollArea component after a layout reshaping, and one caused by an invalid Intl locale in the monitor V2 preview table.
- webapp: Fixed the entity URL recovery flow triggering on any backend 5xx error; the redirect to a "did you mean?" picker now fires only when the backend confirms the object is missing.
- ui: Fixed the dataset filters chip flashing solid blue on hover. (OB-63836)
- log-metric: Fixed tooltip positioning on disabled metric value step labels in log-derived metric charts. (OB-53666)
- json: Fixed a stack overflow crash when parsing deeply nested JSON input. (OB-63438)
- tagvaluesapi: Fixed RBAC not being enforced on the tag value regex search endpoint; tag value queries now respect dataset-level access controls and fail closed for rows without dataset IDs.
- compiler: Fixed a compilation error when non-temporal streaming inputs are used with aggregate verbs.
REST API changes
The following changes are reflected in the Observe REST API as of this release.
New
- GET /v1/tags (ListDatasetTags): Previously internal-only; now publicly documented and GA.
- GET /v1/tags/values (SearchTagValues): Previously internal-only; now publicly documented and GA.

New features
monitor_v2_action: Cross-tenant export support for monitor V2 action bindings.worksheet: Cross-tenant export support for worksheet asset bindings.dataset: Newomit_dataset_oid_versionflag to prevent OID version cascade on dataset definition changes.
Coming soon
The following GA features are already available for fast lane customers, and will be enabled for slow lane customers and tenants on September 9, 2026.
- global-tags: Central global tag mapping management.
- ai-sre: MCP settings page, CLI install instructions, and native API mode for AI-SRE.
- datasets: Real freshness display and goal-relative staleness reason.
