N|Solid 6.1.8: Major AI Upgrades, UX Enhancements, and Tracing Improvements
As spring blooms, so does the N|Solid—with our latest release bringing an exciting wave of new features, critical improvements, and behind-the-scenes optimizations. This update (v6.1.8) is part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the most insightful, stable, and powerful Node.js monitoring and debugging experience available.
Here’s what’s new:
✨ A Smarter, Sleeker Developer Experience
We’ve up-leveled our AI Copilot and AI Service (N|Sentinel) including a revamped assistant interface. Developers can now triage and resolve performance or security issues faster with a revamped AI interface and smarter, more responsive diagnostics—from detailed AI reports, context aware mitigation suggestions, and code generation.
🤖 Enhanced AI Workflows
On the console:
- Updated the UI to always display the assistant window.
AI Services:
- Automatically retrieve user code from the runtime for the N|Sentinel report (this only works for processes connected via gRPC).
N|Solid’s new AI Reports help you resolve issues faster by translating runtime profiling data into clear, actionable insights. Now, you can get automatic retrieval of code from the runtime. N|Solid delivers the industry’s most advanced Node.js issue remediation system.
🎨 UX and Visualization Upgrades
We’ve been listening closely to your feedback—and it’s reflected in a series of visual improvements:
- ✅ No more phantom lines in graphs
- ✅ Fixed data display inconsistencies
- ✅ Cleaner, clearer tooltip styling for the timeline and scatterplot
- ✅ Better asset table layout with updated default AI prompts for the assistant to provide valuable insight on every asset
Plus, check out the redesigned Copilot window—now supporting detailed AI-generated reports with just one click.
