What’s New in March

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

ICMP monitors join Checkly’s stack

Checkly now supports ICMP monitors on all plans, allowing you to continuously ping hosts to measure reachability, latency, and packet loss across regions. This helps teams detect connectivity issues early and understand network performance before it impacts their applications.

Faster incident debugging with Rocky AI

Rocky AI, Checkly’s AI agent, is now generally available on all plans. It analyzes failing checks and tests, investigates artifacts like traces and PCAP files, and surfaces the likely root cause to help teams debug faster.

Playwright Reporter 1.8: A Major Upgrade

The Checkly Playwright Reporter just got a major overhaul. It now captures richer debugging data from Playwright runs (traces, logs, network activity, performance metrics, and more) making it easier to debug CI failures without digging through artifacts.

Ready to try it out? The new AI onboarding prompt makes getting started quick and easy.

Developer Experience

  • Manage Status Page subscribers from the UI: You can now review and manage your Status Page subscribers directly in the Checkly Webapp and via the API.

  • Check groups v2 (simple groups without overrides) are now supported in Terraform & Pulumi: Use checkly_check_group_v2 (Terraform) or checkly.CheckGroupV2 (Pulumi). To upgrade, create a new v2 group, move your checks, and remove the old group.

  • AI-powered playwright check suites setup: The new Copy prompt button in the Playwright Check Suites onboarding lets your AI coding tool turn your existing Playwright tests into Checkly monitoring automatically. Learn more in our change log update.

  • Private location health probe endpoints: Agent v.6.3.1+ exposes HTTP health probe endpoints (/-/liveness, /-/readiness, /health) so you can configure liveness and readiness probes for your agent deployments. Learn more in our agent docs.

  • Connected agents shown for Private Locations: The UI now displays the agents connected to a Private Location, along with the agent image version.

  • Date picker on the home dashboard: Added a date picker to the home dashboard to adjust availability, average, and p95 response time metrics.

  • Region hosting info in the UI: Monitoring regions now show where they are hosted when creating checks, viewing results, and in test sessions. See our location docs for more details.

  • Improved retry visibility in check overview: Retry counts are now shown more clearly in the overview chart, results tooltip, and results sidebar.
