Get Observability in the Terminal, for You and Your Agents: gcx

The way you write code is changing, which means the way you observe your systems and respond to issues needs to change, too.

Engineers today spend much of their day working via command line, as agentic tools like Cursor and Claude Code have become highly effective at handling many day-to-day engineering tasks. This greatly accelerates code generation, but it doesn't solve for the context switching that comes when you have to jump into another tool that's not part of this new, faster workflow.

Moreover, agents introduce a new visibility gap: they can see your code on your machine, but they're blind to what's going on in your production environment. They don't see the latency spike on checkout. They don't know whether you're actually hitting your SLOs. They write code based on what could happen rather than what is actually happening.

To address these issues, we've launched the public preview of gcx, the new Grafana Cloud CLI. gcx brings Grafana Cloud and Grafana Assistant directly into your terminal—and to the agentic coding environment running inside it—so you can spot and resolve incidents in minutes instead of hours.
