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 October 7, 2026.

ai-sre: Every AI surface now displays an explicit AI disclaimer. Makes it unambiguous which output is model-generated when AI results appear alongside queried data.
ai-sre: MCP OAuth is now enabled by default, so connecting an MCP client no longer requires an administrator to turn the setting on first.
dashboards: The dashboards explorer now has a "Created by" column, so dashboards can be attributed and filtered by author without opening each one.
filterbar: Per-row documentation and query help are now merged into a single rail instead of two competing panels. Removes the back-and-forth between help surfaces while composing a filter.
monitors: Monitor notification templates now support formatTime and adjustTime helpers, so alert messages can render timestamps in a readable, timezone-adjusted form. Replaces raw epoch values in alert bodies that recipients previously had to convert by hand.
monitors: The monitor REST endpoints now expose a health field giving the monitor's operating state as one value — Running, Warnings, Failed, Initializing, Disabled, or ClusterPassive. Replaces correlating a monitor's last evaluation against its cluster's failover role to work out whether it is actually evaluating.
opal: OPAL autocomplete now suggests the top matching values after a ~ operator. Removes the guesswork of writing a match filter against a field whose values you have not yet seen.
opal: New dynamic_pivot verb, which pivots rows into columns from values discovered at query time rather than a fixed column list.
reference-tables: A primary key can now be declared on an existing reference table, and CSV uploads to existing tables use a compact path. Previously adding a primary key meant recreating the table and re-uploading its data.
service-explorer: Errors and Exceptions counts can now be compared side by side, so a service's error volume can be read against its exception volume without switching tabs.

Slow lane GA features

These features are enabled for all slow lane customers and tenants today. Fast-lane GA was 2026-08-12.

ai-sre: MCP settings page, CLI install instructions, and native o11y agent API tools.
tags: Global tag management — create and manage tags across datasets, monitors, and dashboards from a central tags page.

Public preview and private preview features

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

service-explorer: Correlation tag filters in Service Explorer are enabled for selected customers — filter the service map and service lists by correlation tag values.

Bug fixes

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

ai: Three redaction and privacy fixes: the AI content opt-out is now enforced on the path where the log formatter cannot apply it, webhook credentials are kept out of the AI tools' logs, and the span allowlist now enumerates its keep-side prefixes explicitly. (OB-65191, OB-65873, OB-66074)
connections: AWS connection setup now allows Continue when only S3 buckets are set, or when only a Config delivery bucket is set, and no longer clips the metric collection controls.
copy-image: Copying an image of a card no longer captures past the edge of a scroll container. (OB-65983)
dashboards: Eleven fixes to v0-to-v2 dashboard and worksheet conversion: query-step OPAL is preferred over builder definitions, table density and time-range presets are resolved, dataset-filter grid items and legacy allowEmpty flags are recorded, legacy metric-tag parameters convert to correlation tags, explorer correlation tags carry through card UI, isUserInput is forwarded on filter bindings, unresolved query-card references are accepted, and the missing card UI compatibility markers are written. (OB-65876, OB-65877, OB-65878, OB-65879, OB-65880, OB-65881, OB-65883, OB-65886, OB-66145, OB-66169, OB-66170)
dashboard-reports: Screenshot and embed renders no longer follow the vanity-host reroute mid-render.
dataset-search: Dataset search results now exclude datasets that cannot be queried. (OB-63948)
datastreams: The datastream token stats resolver now authorizes the caller, ingest tokens are authorized on datastream token reads, and cross-customer datastream token reads are rejected. (OB-63536)
docs-search: Documentation search no longer sits behind the external-AI gate, so it works for accounts with external AI disabled. (OB-66199)
expression-builder: The default aggregation now always emits compilable OPAL.
filters: Filter condition inputs now have a minimum width and no longer collapse to an unusable size. (OB-65843)
inspect: JSON matches are now highlighted inside truncated leaves, and Find matches scroll into view in long text blobs. (OB-65739)
monitors: Slack alerts no longer send an empty header. (OB-65868)
opal: The OPAL syntax palette has been replaced with nine roles that meet contrast requirements. (OB-65504)
pivot-menu: Correlation tag pivot actions now share a consistent loading state.
reference-tables: Three edit-grid fixes: deleting a table no longer trips the unsaved-changes guard or leaves a stale Recent entry, row inserts and renames no longer overwrite an existing key, and Tab now moves between cell controls.
security: Secrets are now redacted only where JSON tags are output-only, so redaction no longer masks fields that are legitimately readable. (OB-66117)
session-sync: The WebSocket connection now honors the connection_ack token lifetime instead of assuming a fixed one.
vis: Axis tick precision is raised when Vega labels would otherwise collide and render identical values. (OB-64383)
webapp: MCP setup instructions are now shown to users without token-creation permission, instead of an empty page.
webapp: Timestamps are now copied as ISO 8601 by default. (OB-57634)

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.

ai-sre: The AI-SRE chat panel in the trace inspector — investigate traces by asking the AI-SRE agent questions directly from a trace view.
datasets: Semantic dataset search — find datasets by natural-language query (powers GET /v1/datasets?query=).
