Whats new in ClickStack - June + July

ClickStack’s June–July update focuses on trace usability, broader metrics integration, dashboard enhancements, and automation capabilities shaped largely by user feedback. Trace viewing now includes stable per-service colors, improved handling of short spans, expandable trace controls, a minimap for navigating large traces, and visible OpenTelemetry span links that let users move between related traces. Metrics improvements include quantile and sum support for exponential histograms, a more efficient default metrics-table schema, experimental connections to external Prometheus-compatible endpoints, and an opt-in Datadog receiver that supports gradual migration from existing observability tooling. Dashboards gain cascading filters, categorical bar charts, event-pattern tiles, kiosk mode, external links from tables, improved layout interactions, and service-map metric coloring, while alerts can require conditions to persist across consecutive evaluation windows before firing. Performance work routes autocomplete and filter-value queries through ClickHouse text indexes when available, and API and MCP server additions enable programmatic or agent-driven management of saved searches, webhooks, sources, metrics, dashboards, and alerts.
