# What's new in March 2026

Published Mar 17, 2026

## ICMP monitors join Checkly's stack

Checkly now supports ICMP monitors on all plans, letting you 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. Its automated Root Cause Analysis analyzes failing checks and tests, investigates artifacts like traces and PCAP files, and summarizes the likely root cause so teams can debug issues faster.

## Playwright Reporter 1.8: a major upgrade

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

## Agent-friendly CLI

The Checkly CLI is now built for AI agents. Across v7.3.0 to v7.7.0 we shipped a skills-based self-discovery system via `npx checkly skills`, read-only commands to list and inspect checks, full incident lifecycle management from the terminal, and a confirmation protocol for safe agent-driven write operations. Recent additions include analytics stats from the terminal, a built-in `checkly skills install` command, and `checkly account plan` to let agents understand your plan's features.
