Changelog #15: Prompt a dashboard in 60 seconds

You don't have to build dashboards by hand anymore! Connect a database, AWS, GCP, or Azure and instantly get pre-made dashboards. Then ask AI SRE to build tailor-made dashboards for your applications.

Connect a database, get a dashboard

Install the Better Stack collector, connect Postgres or MySQL, and open a dashboard that's already populated.

Check your database health, debug and optimize slowest queries, track connections and queries per second. All without building anything yourself.

Start using Better Stack collector.

Ask for the dashboard you want

Need to chart something specific? Ask AI SRE to generate a dashboard. Also works with Claude Code, Codex, and your favorite AI agent via MCP server.

How it works? The agent reads the fields in your data and builds a complete dashboard verifying every chart. Still using Datadog or Grafana? AI SRE can bring those dashboards over too.

Ask AI SRE to generate a dashboard.
