Grafana Plugin is Now Publicly Available​

We're excited to officially launch the Causely plugin for Grafana! Now anyone can bring Causely's root cause analysis directly into their existing dashboards with no extra context-switching required!

Latest Highlights:

  • Root Cause Panel: See urgent issues and causal summaries in place.
  • Root Cause Headlines: Clear, contextual insights without leaving Grafana.
  • Unhealthy Services Panel: Quickly identify degraded services and their downstream impact at a glance.

This marks a major step in bringing Causely's causal intelligence to where your teams already work. With the new plugin, Grafana becomes not just a place for metrics, but a place for action. We'll continue to expand the plugin with even more capabilities in upcoming releases.

Enriching Root Cause Analysis with Trusted Signals from Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Checkly​

Causely now ingests alerts from Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Checkly—bringing the signals you already trust into our causal engine. These alerts are automatically mapped to known symptoms in your environment, giving incidents immediate structure, historical continuity, and causal depth.

  • Prometheus + Alertmanager: Pull alerts in real-time and map them to symptoms in your knowledge graph—enhancing situational awareness and accelerating investigations.
  • Checkly: API check failures are now linked to the services they impact and surfaced as active symptoms, giving synthetic monitoring real operational context.
  • Symptom Activation/Deactivation: Alerts can now directly toggle symptom states, powering more dynamic, accurate, and automated RCA workflows.

With these integrations, Causely doesn't just observe alerts—it interprets them in context. You're extending your causal graph with trusted telemetry, making every incident easier to understand, triage, and resolve.

Did you know?​

Causely automatically discovers and visualizes your service dependencies—no manual config required. We analyze runtime communication patterns (HTTP, gRPC, SQL, Kafka, etc.) to give you a live, layered map of your architecture—from services to infra to messaging layers—enabling more accurate root cause analysis and impact prediction.

Bug Fixes and Minor Improvements​

  • Weekly Email Summaries: Automatically receive a weekly summary of incidents and RCA results to stay aligned.

New Landing Page: See What's Most Interesting in Your Environment​

The new Causely landing page gives you a high-signal, low-noise view of your Root Cause Headlines in your environment over the last 24 hours.

Whether it's a sudden spike in latency, a critical root cause affecting your services, or key SLO risks, we now highlight it the moment you log in.

This helps teams prioritize actions based on impact.

Simplified Navigation: Focused on What Matters Most​

We've rethought the structure of Causely's interface to spotlight our core value: real-time, automated analysis of what's causing service latency and errors.

What's improved:

  • Streamlined layout with **fewer distractions **
  • Root causes now front and center
  • A new getting-started checklist to help you activate value faster

This refined navigation ensures that your attention goes straight to high-impact issues.

Bug Fixes and Minor Improvements​

  • Smarter Root Cause Alerts : We now notify you only for root causes that impact multiple services beyond just SLO violations—reducing noise and helping you prioritize real incidents.
  • Refined Symptom Deactivation Logic: Error symptoms are now tied to real request activity, preventing premature deactivation or activation in idle services.
  • Per-Service Thresholds: Teams can now configure latency and error thresholds for individual services, replacing the default ML-based learned thresholds. This allows for more fine-grained alert tuning and better alignment with service-specific expectations.
  • Splunk OnCall Integration: Causely now supports Splunk OnCall notifications, expanding your ops toolchain with automated incident routing.
  • AWS Discovery & Metrics Improvements: We've added pagination for AWS ALB discovery, improved tag handling, and now set ALB latency directly from observed values for faster, more accurate symptom detection.
