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 2026-10-19.

opal: OPAL inline editor completions are now routed through Claude Sonnet 3.5 via Snowflake Cortex, replacing the self-hosted model. Delivers higher-quality, faster inline completions for OPAL queries and pipelines without relying on external infrastructure.
AI-SRE: The AI credit governor is now generally available, enabling organizations to enforce per-user and per-tenant AI credit limits across all AI entry points (AI-SRE chat, MCP tools, query-card generation, and trace analysis). Prevents runaway consumption and ensures predictable AI spend by automatically refusing requests when a configured allowance is reached.
ingest tokens: A new public REST API for ingest tokens is now generally available (/v1/ingest/tokens), providing full programmatic lifecycle management (create, list, get, update, delete) for ingest credentials. Enables automated provisioning and rotation of ingest tokens in CI/CD and deployment pipelines without using the web console.
tag management: The tag details drawer now includes direct links to all associated dashboards, opening each in a new tab with an external-link indicator. Allows engineers to navigate directly from inspecting a tag's usage to relevant dashboards without manual searching.

Slow lane GA features

These features are enabled for all slow lane customers and tenants today. Fast-lane GA was 2026-08-26.

credit manager: Per-dashboard credit limits — customer-default dashboard limits, a per-dashboard usage grid, and a per-dashboard override modal in Credit Manager.
backend: use_conditional_rebuild — a backend rebuild-scheduling optimization with no visible UI change.

Public preview and private preview features

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

reference tables: Inline row editing for reference tables is now available in private preview for selected customers, supporting in-place row additions, edits, and deletions directly in the web interface and via REST API.
dashboards: Improved dashboard editing mode with expanded card views and streamlined layout controls is expanding to private preview for selected customers.
traces: Trace grouping and aggregation capabilities are available in private preview for selected customers.
REST API: A new Dashboard management REST API (/v1/dashboards) is available in private preview (alpha), enabling programmatic creation, retrieval, updates, and deletion of dashboards.

Bug fixes

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

dashboards: Fixed an issue where dashboard parameters could be unexpectedly cleared. (OB-67026)
search: Ranked search now demotes unusable (error or unavailable) datasets and metrics so they do not crowd out healthy matches. (OB-63948)
filter bar: Fixed autocomplete re-applying top-K suggestions repeatedly when selected.
filter bar: Fixed suggestion row icons (such as alert severity and monitor icons) being washed out with excessive opacity.
filter bar: Legacy filter actions now display as clean remove-only chips above the OPAL input. (OB-66817)
filter bar: Autocomplete now maintains complete top-K suggestions after a filter value is applied. (OB-66787)
OPAL: Autocomplete now automatically suggests filter values when pasting text into the editor. (OB-66606)
web application: Fixed a potential white-screen crash caused by an unhandled exception when modal dialogs unmount.
web application: Fixed the Critical alert severity icon appearing muted in dark mode. (OB-66929)
web application: The Data Lake column in dataset lists now resolves friendly names for non-admin users instead of falling back to raw integration IDs.
ui: Fixed column selection and scrolling behavior in the column selector after running a search. (OB-66536)
support: The in-app support ("Get help") panel no longer closes and loses draft text when opening the operating system file picker to attach a file. (OB-66901)
alerts: Reordered alert list columns so Context is placed immediately to the left of Monitor instead of being clipped at the edge of the viewport. (OB-66863)
monitors: In Monitor V2, made "Set up connectors" a standard hyperlink so copy-link and opening in a new tab work correctly. (OB-66850)
monitors: In Monitor V2, rate-limit inputs (maximum investigations and evaluation window) no longer reset to default values while typing. (OB-66847)
ingest tokens: Fixed the token creation success dialog closing on Escape before copying the token secret. (OB-66813)
metrics: Metric discovery now drops duplicate metric tags, preventing redundant entries from inflating metric storage. (OB-64626)
security: Escaped formula-injection payloads in CSV exports to prevent formula execution in external spreadsheet applications. (OB-61540)
security: Masked sensitive credentials in ingest endpoint paths and query strings across collector logs. (OB-66760, OB-66354)

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: AI-assisted monitor creation now runs on the more capable Page mode AI, improving the quality and conversational flow of AI-guided monitor setup.
monitors: Monitor create and edit forms now include an optional missing-data alert expiration override, letting teams set a custom duration for how long a missing-data alert stays active before it auto-expires.
dashboards: The pivot menu can now set parameters on the current dashboard directly, applying parameter values without requiring a separate manual edit.
