Monthly Showcase
Blog post from Groundcover
Groundcover’s July 2026 updates focus on making its observability agent more context-aware and accessible across existing workflows through OAuth-based connectors for tools such as Slack, Linear, Notion, Pylon, and Cursor Cloud Agents, with configurable permissions, approval gates, RBAC, budgets, reusable skills, and infrastructure-as-code support. The company also rebuilt monitor issue management with incident timelines, silence and notification histories, delivery and evaluation-error visibility, deadman alerts for missing data, delayed AWS metric evaluation, and improved filtering and saved views. Dashboard capabilities now include agent-assisted creation, treemaps, cross-source variable mapping, richer formatting and threshold controls, and easier addition of exploration queries, while new retention controls, storage tiers, and ingestion analysis aim to improve cost and data-management oversight. AWS Cost is introduced as a first-class data source for querying spend alongside telemetry, monitoring budget breaches, and relating cost changes to workload activity, while a managed Dashboard Catalog provides customizable prebuilt dashboards across infrastructure, cloud, database, messaging, CI/CD, AI, and platform domains that also give the agent useful operational context.
