Service map highlights: Highest frequency, error rate and average duration

The service map in Helios, which is constructed automatically based on distributed tracing data reported by the application, now also highlights the interactions with the highest call frequency (pink), error rate (red), and average call duration (teal).

Temporal.io workflows & activities instrumentation

It's now possible to visualize and apply observability & monitoring to Temporal.io workflows & activities instrumented with the Helios SDK.

Sorting APIs by frequency, error rate and duration

We've added the options to sort the list of APIs (incoming operations) each service has by the following properties - based on the instrumented data and OpenTelemetry spans:

Grouping the most frequent operations in a label

We’ve added a new widget to the label dashboard: the most frequent operations that match the label's conditions.
