  • Deep dive into multi-region checks, 12 monitor types, automated status pages, AI root-cause investigation, and SaaS vs. Self-hosted tradeoffs.

June 2026

  • Operational Context Layer: a per-tenant graph built read-only from your telemetry. GET /api/v1/context/incident/{key}/summary returns an incident's blast-radius.
  • AI agent observability: send OpenTelemetry GenAI spans to /api/v1/otlp and view token usage, estimated cost, latency, and error rate.
  • AI Agent Security: a "Security signals" view flags prompt-injection markers, oversized outputs, sensitive tool calls, and runaway loops.
  • OTLP metrics + traces receiver: native OTLP/HTTP ingest for metrics and traces alongside logs.
  • SIEM: multi-event correlation rules, threat-intel IOC matching at ingest, GeoIP + identity + asset enrichment.

May 2026 (Phase 2 — Agent API)

  • Event webhook subscriptions: register a URL with /api/v1/webhook-subscriptions and receive signed POSTs on incident events.
  • Pre-converted LLM tool definitions: /openapi/openai-tools.json, /openapi/anthropic-tools.json, /openapi/langchain-tools.json.
  • Per-PAT rate-limit headers on every authenticated response.
  • 14 narrow PAT scopes (monitors:read, webhooks:write, logs:write, etc.).

May 2026 (Logs v1)

  • Logs v1: ship structured events with a PAT, search by time + substring + service + level, live-tail in the dashboard.
  • Plan tiers now include monthly log volume caps (Free 1 GB, Startup 10 GB, Pro 100 GB).
