# Product Updates

> New updates and improvements

Stay up to date with the latest Metoro product updates, new features, platform improvements, and customer-facing fixes.

<Update label="July 6, 2026" tags={["Improvements", "On-Premises"]}>
  ## On-premises 10.2.0

  Metoro on-premises `10.2.0` is now the pinned install and onboarding version for the `10.x` chart line. New hub installs, hub self-monitoring, monitored-cluster onboarding, and operational runbooks now point at the matching `metoro-onprem` and `metoro-exporter-onprem` chart versions.

  Existing `10.1.0` hubs can move to the new chart with the [10.1.0 to 10.2.0 upgrade guide](/on-premises/10.x/upgrades/10-1-0-to-10-2-0). Older 10.x hubs should follow the previous 10.x upgrade guides in order before moving to `10.2.0`.

  10.2.0 supports the latest telemetry RBACs and Permission CRDs released in Cloud yesterday.
</Update>

<Update label="July 5, 2026" tags={["Improvements", "On-Premises"]}>
  ## Metoro Telemetry RBAC and CRDs

  Cloud now supports telemetry RBACs. Administrators can now restrict the data that is seen by users by assigning roles with attached telemetry permissions. See [the docs](https://metoro.io/docs/user-management/rbac#telemetry-permissions) for more details.

  Cloud now supports permission CRDs. Administrators can now deploy Metoro CRDs to monitored clusters to define both resource and telemetry permission. See [the docs](https://metoro.io/docs/user-management/kubernetes-crds) for more details.
</Update>

<Update label="June 22, 2026" tags={["Improvements", "On-Premises"]}>
  ## On-premises 10.1.0

  Metoro on-premises `10.1.0` is now the pinned install and onboarding version for the `10.x` chart line. New hub installs, hub self-monitoring, monitored-cluster onboarding, and operational runbooks now point at the matching `metoro-onprem` and `metoro-exporter-onprem` chart versions.

  This version also includes alpha support for running direct [PromQL](/metrics/promql) metric queries through a separate PromQL execution engine.

  Existing `10.0.2` hubs can move to the new chart with the [10.0.2 to 10.1.0 upgrade guide](/on-premises/10.x/upgrades/10-0-2-to-10-1-0). Existing `10.0.1` hubs should first follow the [10.0.1 to 10.0.2 upgrade guide](/on-premises/10.x/upgrades/10-0-1-to-10-0-2).
</Update>

<Update label="June 22, 2026" tags={["New releases", "Metrics", "Dashboards"]}>
  ## PromQL dashboard queries

  [PromQL](/metrics/promql) is now available as an alpha query mode for metric dashboard widgets, making it easier to reuse existing Prometheus and Grafana queries in Metoro. The new docs cover dashboard usage, examples, and current alpha limitations, including possible minor correctness differences from Prometheus and weaker performance than native [MetoroQL](/metrics/metoroql).
</Update>

  ## On-premises 10.0.2

  Metoro on-premises `10.0.2` is now the pinned install and onboarding version for the `10.x` chart line. New hub installs, self-monitoring, monitored-cluster onboarding, and operational runbooks now point at the matching `metoro-onprem` and `metoro-exporter-onprem` chart versions.

  Existing `10.0.1` hubs should follow the [10.0.1 to 10.0.2 upgrade guide](/on-premises/10.x/upgrades/10-0-1-to-10-0-2) before moving to the new chart.
</Update>

<Update label="June 10, 2026" tags={["Improvements", "On-Premises"]}>
  ## Reliability defaults

  Fair resource sharing is now enabled by default in charted deployments so new installs and upgrades avoid accidentally disabling workload scheduling fairness.
</Update>

<Update label="June 8, 2026" tags={["New releases", "Improvements", "Dashboards", "On-Premises"]}>
  ## On-premises 10.x installs

  [Metoro Hub 10.x](/on-premises/10.x/overview) now has a customer-facing [standalone Helm chart](/on-premises/10.x/installation/install-hub) for on-premises deployments. The chart uses an on-prem-specific values API, validates common configuration mistakes before install, and supports [bundled or external dependencies](/on-premises/10.x/installation/planning#bundled-or-external-dependencies) without exposing SaaS-only chart options.

  * Bundled PostgreSQL now runs on CloudNativePG with operator-managed failover and optional scheduled object-store backups.
  * Bundled ClickHouse has production-oriented defaults for startup behavior, disruption protection, Keeper metrics, [hot/cold object storage](/on-premises/10.x/installation/planning#clickhouse-storage), and optional full backups.
  * [Monitored-cluster onboarding](/on-premises/10.x/installation/connect-monitored-clusters) can install the pinned on-prem exporter chart directly, including support for ServiceMonitor-based baseline metrics.
  * [Trusted CA bundles](/on-premises/10.x/installation/planning#certificate-chains) can be passed through the Hub and exporter charts for private PKI, self-signed endpoints, PostgreSQL TLS, and object-store backups.

  ## Chart inspection improvements

  Chart tooltips are easier to inspect during debugging. You can pin a tooltip by clicking the chart, keep crosshairs aligned across related charts, drag pinned tooltips, filter long tooltip series lists, and distinguish display labels from split/group-by labels more clearly.
</Update>

<Update label="June 4, 2026" tags={["Improvements", "AI SRE", "Traces"]}>
  ## Trace debugging

  [Service APM trace feeds](/traces/overview#the-trace-view) now include status controls that make it easier to focus on failures. You can filter traces by available HTTP status codes or OpenTelemetry `statusCode` values, and quickly toggle to error-only traces from the service trace view.

  ## AI investigation from traces

  Error trace details now include a [Guardian](/ai-sre/overview) investigation action that sends the trace context to AI SRE so you can ask what happened from the trace view. [Related logs](/traces/common-questions#how-do-i-view-logs-for-a-specific-trace-or-span) also use the server container and the trace time range, so useful context can appear even when logs do not explicitly contain a trace ID.

  ## Service map context

  [Service map](/traces/service-map) edges now show compact trace-count badges directly on the map, giving connection-volume context without opening the details panel.
</Update>

<Update label="May 29, 2026" tags={["Improvements", "Performance", "AI SRE"]}>
  ## Faster repeated historical queries

  Metoro now has an [incremental query response cache](/concepts/incremental-cache) for repeated historical dashboard and explorer queries. Stable long-range metric, log, trace, and Kubernetes queries can reuse previously computed work, making repeat views of historical windows significantly faster once cached.

  [Log listing](/logs/overview#log-search-and-performance) also tries a short edge window first when loading the first page of recent logs, then falls back to the full range only when needed. This makes dense log views feel more responsive without changing export behavior.

  ## AI SRE conversation history

  Guardian conversations now get concise chat summaries so new chats are easier to recognize later. [Autonomous investigation](/ai-sre/anomaly-detection) runs are hidden from normal chat history, keeping "My conversations" focused on user-started chats while preserving automation outputs in their run details.

  ## Public alert automation

  [Public alert definitions](/alerts-monitoring/create_alert) can opt into [AI investigations](/ai-sre/alert-investigations) when alerts fire, including alerts created through public API clients and external automation workflows.
</Update>

<Update label="May 22, 2026" tags={["New releases", "AI SRE", "Automation"]}>
  ## Faster Guardian execution

  [Guardian](/ai-sre/overview) has a new execution runtime for chat and automated investigations. It improves benchmark results by 2x and makes long-running investigations more resilient when sessions reconnect or work resumes.

  ## Live automation progress

  [Deployment verification](/ai-sre/deployment-verification), [alert investigations](/ai-sre/alert-investigations), [anomaly investigations](/ai-sre/anomaly-detection), service error investigations, issue-fixer automation, and repository auto-mapping now benefit from the same faster execution model. Active agent runs show live progress while work is running instead of waiting for final output.
</Update>

<Update label="May 18, 2026" tags={["New releases", "Dashboards", "Security"]}>
  ## Public dashboard sharing

  Admins can now share read-only dashboards outside their Metoro organization with [password-protected public access](/dashboards/public-access). Public viewers unlock a shared URL with a dashboard password and receive a short-lived dashboard token, while Metoro limits public data access to admin-approved query shapes.

  ## Query allowlists

  [Public dashboard settings](/dashboards/public-access#public-queries) now extract widget queries for review, preserve approvals for unchanged queries, and mark new or changed queries as pending. Public metric, log, and trace endpoints reject requests that do not match an approved query shape.

  ## Viewer reliability

  Public dashboard routes have been hardened so shared dashboards render with the same tooltip context as authenticated dashboards.
</Update>

<Update label="May 14, 2026" tags={["Improvements", "Alerts", "Dashboards", "Advisor"]}>
  ## Alert creation from charts

  You can now [create alerts](/alerts-monitoring/create_alert) directly from [MetoroQL](/metrics/metoroql)-backed chart menus. The alert creation flow starts with the chart query prefilled, matching the existing workflow for standard metric charts.

  ## Chart display controls

  [Chart Builder and Editor](/dashboards/creating-editing) now include first-class threshold controls. Add, edit, remove, label, and color threshold lines directly from Display Options without editing dashboard JSON.

  ## Dashboard workflow polish

  [Dashboard charts](/dashboards/creating-editing) can be duplicated within their original group, chart loading states now show only a spinner until data is ready, and grouped dashboard headers have clearer expand/collapse controls.

  ## More actionable CPU throttling issues

  [CPU throttling Advisor recommendations](/advisor/cpu-throttling) now identify the top contributing container when container-level metrics are available, including throttled seconds, CPU usage, and throttle ratio in the issue details drawer.
</Update>

<Update label="April 2026" tags={["New releases", "Dashboards", "Kubernetes", "AI SRE", "On-Premises"]}>
  ## SLO dashboard templates

  [Dashboard templates](/dashboards/templates) now include service-level objective templates, giving teams a faster way to start tracking availability, latency, and error budget health in Metoro.

  ## More dashboard widgets

  [Dashboards](/dashboards/widgets) now support more Grafana-style panel types natively:

  * Table widgets for tabular metric data, with pagination, density, wrapping, column alignment, filtering, widths, precision, and unit controls.
  * Bar Gauge widgets for comparing aggregate values as proportional bars.
  * Pie and donut widgets for comparing aggregate metric values by category.
  * Widget descriptions that appear as compact info tooltips and are preserved from imported Grafana panels.

  ## Better Grafana and Perses imports

  Grafana imports now preserve more dashboard behavior when moving into Metoro. Imported dashboards keep dense 24-column layouts, static interval variables, hidden variables, table units, bar gauges, pie charts, descriptions, and more [MetoroQL](/metrics/metoroql) compatibility for PromQL-style expressions such as `round(...)`, `time()`, `clamp_min(...)`, scalar comparisons, and histogram quantiles.

  ## Authentication and setup

  On-premises deployments can now use [generic OIDC login](/on-premises/10.x/installation/oidc), including group-to-role mapping for providers such as [Keycloak](/on-premises/10.x/installation/oidc-keycloak). Denied and expired OIDC login attempts now show clearer user-facing failure states, and the on-prem login page has been updated to match Metoro's dark product experience.

  ## Deeper Kubernetes visibility

  [Kubernetes Resource Viewer](/kubernetes-resources/resource-viewer) added GPU visibility so infrastructure teams can inspect NVIDIA GPU usage alongside CPU, memory, and workload health.

  ## Better trace and investigation guidance

  The [traces cheat sheet](/traces/cheat-sheet) gives new users a faster path through common trace-debugging questions, and trace views gained latency-focused sorting so slow requests are easier to find.

  [Autonomous investigations](/ai-sre/anomaly-detection) can now detect pod failures, and alert setup includes a more guided onboarding path for teams adopting [alerting](/alerts-monitoring/alerts-overview).
</Update>

<Update label="March 2026" tags={["Improvements", "AI SRE", "Integrations"]}>
  ## Refreshed Guardian workspaces

  [Guardian](/ai-sre/overview) received a redesigned investigation experience across [issues](/ai-sre/issues), [alert investigations](/ai-sre/alert-investigations), and [anomaly investigations](/ai-sre/anomaly-detection).

  [Dashboards](/dashboards/overview), dashboard creation, settings, monitoring creation, and [Slack channel selection](/integrations/slack) were added as core product workflows.

  ## Kubernetes infrastructure views

  The first Kubernetes infrastructure experience added resource tables, YAML viewing, pod timelines, container state details, terminated-container handling, deep links, and safer resource export behavior that excludes secrets.

  ## Logs, traces, and structured logging

  [Structured logging](/logs/structured-logs), log and trace ordering, log deep links, regex log alerts, loading states, and chart-based time selection made the initial observability workflows easier to use.

  ## User administration

  [User management](/user-management/rbac#users) added invite links, pending-member handling, current-member views, and delete-user support so admins could manage access directly in Metoro.
