December brings major upgrades across AWS ECS observability, Kubernetes visibility, APM service mapping, log analytics, AI-powered dashboards, and RUM—along with deep improvements to cloud integrations and overall platform usability.

Here’s everything new this month 👇

🧭 ECS Explorer – Deep Visibility into AWS ECS

We’ve introduced a ECS Explorer to help you understand, debug, and optimize ECS workloads more effectively.

New ECS Screens

You can now explore ECS using 5 dedicated views:

  • Tasks
  • Task Definitions
  • Services
  • Containers
  • Clusters

What you can do

  • View default dashboards for ECS tasks, task definitions, and services.
    Default Dashbaord ECS
  • Drill into individual ECS tasks to see:
    • Related logs
    • Containers
    • Services
    • Resource usage
      Drill Individual ECS

This makes ECS troubleshooting and performance analysis significantly faster and more intuitive.

🌐 Kubernetes Enhancements

Network Policy Explorer

  • New screen to view network policies per cluster
  • Drill into individual policies with full configuration details

Custom Resources View

  • New screen to visualize Kubernetes custom resources
  • Includes version, age, and other metadata for easier cluster introspection
    Custom Resources View

🗺 APM Service Map – Clearer Service Relationships

We’ve revamped the Service Map UI to improve clarity and performance analysis.

New capabilities

  • Rich interaction view showing service dependencies + performance data
    Service Dependencie Perform
  • Hover over any connection to highlight traffic flow
    Hover Over Connection Middleware
  • Isolation view to focus on one service path (others blur automatically)
    Isolation View Middleware
  • Detailed service panel including:
    • Error metrics
    • Traces
    • Request & error graphs
    • Latency
    • Logs
      Details Logs

Perfect for understanding complex microservice architectures.

📜 Log Monitoring – Powerful Drilldowns & Visual Analysis

Enhanced Drilldown View

Logs are now sorted by key attributes automatically for faster investigation.

Attribute-Level Exploration

Click any attribute to view it as:

  • Time series
  • Bar chart
  • Table
  • Pie chart
  • Raw JSON
    Raw JSON Middleware

Updated Log Detail Layout

Log details are now grouped into:

  • Parsed Attributes – extracted fields from the log body
  • Log Properties – all structured fields
  • RAW – full JSON view

This makes debugging structured logs significantly easier.

🤖 Build Dashboards with AI

You can now build dashboards using natural language.

How it works

  • Describe your use case in chat (e.g., “Create a dashboard for API latency and error rate”)
  • AI generates the dashboard automatically
  • Modify or add widgets using chat commands
    Modified Add Widgets Middleware
    Modified Add Widgets Using Middleware

You can still create widgets manually via “Add Widget” anytime.

📱 RUM Updates

Flutter Support

RUM now supports Flutter applications for frontend monitoring.

Session Explorer as Default View

Session Explorer is now the first screen shown when opening application details in RUM.
