What's new in February 2026

Published

Smarter alert notifications with Rocky AI

Rocky AI, Checkly's AI agent, automatically analyzes, categorizes, and summarizes failures from your monitors and synthetic checks. You can now receive a root cause analysis directly in your inbox, Slack, Teams, or any other alert channel the moment a check fails. This is live for all plans; enable it in the Rocky AI settings.

Playwright Check Suites improvements

Playwright Check Suites now detect pnpm and npm workspace structures and install the correct dependencies automatically, resolve package.json exports during bundling, and support .tsx and .jsx files. npx checkly pw-test is now GA with new --installCommand and --include flags, checks install all dependencies from your package.json (not just devDependencies), and the dependency cache refreshes automatically when your install command or working directory changes.

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, making it easier to compare results across services. Group names now appear next to check names where applicable, and you can save dashboard views based on your filters and search; saved views are personal and shareable via URL.

Checkly Agent: health probes and heartbeat monitoring

The Checkly Agent now exposes /-/readiness, /-/liveness, and /health endpoints on port 8080 for Kubernetes readiness and liveness probes. The agent also sends a heartbeat to the Checkly platform every 2 minutes with built-in retry logic, so Checkly can detect when a private location has no connected agents and notify your team via email, and a /metrics endpoint exposes agent-level Prometheus metrics like check slot utilization and job processing duration.
