What’s New in February

Here’s a roundup of the new features and improvements we shipped over the past month.

Smarter Alert Notifications with Rocky AI

Rocky AI — Checkly’s AI agent — automatically analyzes, categorizes, and summarizes failures from your monitors and synthetic checks.

Now, those insights don’t just live inside the app. You can receive a Root Cause Analysis directly in your inbox, Slack, Teams, or any other alert channel the moment a check fails.

This feature is live now for all plans, head over to the Rocky AI settings page and enable it.

Dashboard Revamp: Compare Checks more easily

Dashboard charts now display data based on the selected time range, so all checks on a dashboard share the same timeline. This makes it easier to compare results and understand what happened across your services.

We’ve also added group names next to check names (where applicable), making it easier to tell similarly named checks apart.

Save Views on the Home Dashboard

You can now save dashboard views based on your selected filters and search.

Saved views are personal to your account, and you can easily share them with teammates by copying the URL.

Playwright Check Suites Improvements

We’ve made a couple of improvements to Playwright Check Suites to give you more flexibility when structuring and bundling your test code:

  • Workspace support: If your project uses pnpm or npm workspaces, Checkly now detects your workspace structure, uploads the relevant files, and installs the correct dependencies automatically. Learn more about workspaces in our developer documentation.

  • Support for exports: If your package.json uses exports to define entry points, Checkly now resolves them correctly during bundling.

  • TSX and JSX support: Playwright checks now support .tsx and .jsx files, so you can use React-style syntax directly in your Playwright Check Suites.

  • Improved Test Detail pages: You now get richer insights into each run, including test steps, source code, and network performance insights.

    These improvements are powered by our Checkly Playwright Reporter, which now runs for Playwright Check Suites executed in Checkly’s cloud.

  • npx checkly pw-test is now GA: The pw-test command is out of beta and runs your Playwright tests against Checkly’s global cloud using your existing playwright.config.

    • Added --installCommand to customize how dependencies are installed: npx checkly pw-test --installCommand='npm install --no-scripts' -- --grep@critical.

    • Added --include to explicitly include additional files required to run your tests that are outside the directory defined in your playwright.config.

  • Full dependency installation: Playwright Checks now install all dependencies defined in your package.json. Previously, only devDependencies were installed.

  • Smarter dependency caching: The dependency cache now accounts for changes in the installCommand and working directory when generating the cache hash, refreshing automatically when needed.

Developer Experience

  • Prometheus metrics for DNS & Heartbeat monitors: Checkly’s Prometheus integration now includes metrics for DNS and Heartbeat monitors, so you can track their performance directly in your Prometheus setup.

  • View and manage Status Page subscribers: You can now access your Status Page subscribers in two ways:

  • Heartbeat monitors now support incident automation: You can now link Heartbeat monitors to a Status Page, so incidents are automatically created whenever a check fails.

  • Expanded phone call alerting to 16 new countries: Voice call alerts now support Italy, Mexico, Argentina, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg.

Happy monitoring!
