* **Waterfall visualization**: This new trace view clearly maps out the sequence and timing of function executions, including steps running in parallel. You can now understand the flow of your entire workflow in seconds, simplifying navigation and revealing bottlenecks or inefficiencies at a glance.

* **Expanded run details**: For those who need more granular insights, each run can be expanded within the list for a detailed breakdown, without losing your place in the workflow. This seamless integration between a high-level overview and detailed function execution ensures that you maintain both context and focus.

By leveraging the principles of OpenTelemetry for tracing, these updates provide reliable and actionable data that enhance your debugging efficiency. You'll spend less time deciphering execution timelines and more time resolving issues, improving the overall performance and reliability of your applications.

### Dashboard monitoring: A holistic view of application health

While Inngest has long offered [function-level metrics](/blog/2023-10-27-fn-metrics-release?ref=blog-enhanced-observability), many users expressed the need for a higher-level view—one that provides a comprehensive snapshot of the entire application. With this release, we're introducing **dashboard monitoring capabilities** that offer a bird's-eye view of your system's health.

Our new monitoring features are designed to help you quickly identify anomalies across your Inngest applications, from high-level system metrics down to individual function executions. Here's what you can expect:

* **System health at a glance**: View the health of your applications at the environment level, helping you spot issues before they escalate. With metrics like backlog, concurrency, failure rates, and usage analytics, you can monitor your system holistically without having to dig into each function individually.

* **Top-down debugging**: If an issue arises, you can quickly drill down from the system-wide view into specific functions or steps that are causing problems. This eliminates the need for manual investigation through logs and metrics, enabling faster troubleshooting.

* **Clear visualizations**: The new dashboards are intuitive and focused on key performance indicators. These visualizations allow you to track critical data points, ensuring you always have the most relevant insights at hand.

These enhancements don't aim to replace dedicated monitoring platforms like Datadog. Instead, they provide exactly what you need to manage your Inngest applications with confidence, offering the most important data for your Inngest-powered applications without unnecessary complexity.
