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 14, 2026.
- ai-sre: The AI-SRE chat panel is now generally available in the trace inspector — investigate traces by asking the AI-SRE agent questions directly from a trace view without switching context. Lets engineers surface root causes during an incident without leaving the trace details screen.
- datasets: Semantic dataset search is now generally available on all clusters including EU West 2 and Canada — find datasets by natural-language query (powers
GET /v1/datasets?query=). Reduces time spent navigating large catalogs by letting engineers describe the data they need in plain language instead of browsing folder hierarchies.
Slow lane GA features
These features are enabled for all slow lane customers and tenants today.
- monitors: Monitor V2 now has an inline type selector — switch a monitor's type while creating or editing it instead of starting over with a different monitor type.
Public preview and private preview features
features are available by invitation only. features are available by inquiry.
- ingest: The
/v1/ingest/tokensREST API for programmatic ingest token create, rotate, and delete is now available for all Barclays tenants on prod_bcs_1.
Bug fixes
The following issues are fixed in this week's release:
- webapp: Clicking outside the drilldown URL combobox now closes it. (OB-64853)
- mcp: MCP OAuth authorization-server metadata is now persisted so tokens refresh without re-authentication after a server restart.
- ingest: Drop filters no longer silently accept tag references with no columns; tempo scalar functions now null-propagate correctly for expressions using
#tag. (OB-64421) - ai-chat: Fixed the APM services list table not rendering correctly in dark mode.
- monitoring: Fixed spurious transform-notification deletes on the failover skip path — transform notifications are no longer removed when a monitor failover is skipped due to no active state change. (OB-64034)
- terraform: Fixed invalid HCL emitted by
terraform showexports; terraformer no longer generates resource names with leading dashes. - worksheet: Fixed broken worksheet URLs not being rerouted correctly by name; fixed
input = []being stripped from worksheet exports; fixed duplicate worksheet name matching using substring instead of exact match. (OB-64989) - lsetting: Stopped logging unrecognized layered settings on every row — previously filled logs with noise on unrecognized setting names. (OB-64938)
REST API changes
The following changes are reflected in the Observe REST API as of this release.
Updated
- ActionRule: Added documentation for inline vs. shared actions — the
inlinefield now describes that whentrue, the action belongs to its monitor and sending it back updates the action in place; added thenamefield for naming shared actions.
Deprecated / removed
- Dataset-StatValueCount renamed to StatValueCount — update any client code that references this schema by its old name.
- Dataset-AttributeStats renamed to AttributeStats — update any client code that references this schema by its old name.
Terraform provider
The following updates are available in the Observe Terraform provider.
v0.14.66 (2026-08-16)
New features
resource_monitor_v2:computation_windowis now configurable.
Bug fixes
resource_dataset: FixedMustSkipRematerializationnot being sent to the backend on resource create.
v0.14.65 (2026-08-15)
Bug fixes
resource_monitor_v2: Anomaly algorithm fields are now optional in the data source to fix the export flow.resource_monitor_v2:rulesare now optional to support no-data-only monitors.- Dedented monitor V2 pipeline text so
terraform showround-trips cleanly. resource_datastream_token: Deprecated thepasswordfield.
v0.14.64 (2026-08-16)
Bug fixes
resource_dashboard: Fixed thedescriptionfield not being populated from the API response.
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.
- datasets: Dataset headers and the REST API now show real measured (p90) freshness instead of the configured goal interval, and the staleness reason reflects whether data is actually behind its goal.
- monitors: Alert context cards now show correlation tag values as clickable pivots — click any tag to jump to correlated logs, metrics, traces, or dashboards in the full alert scope.
