Propose monitors, collaborate on the right configuration, and review before anything goes live — now available for Multi-table Metric Monitors.
We recently launched Draft Monitors to give teams more control over the monitor creation process. Viewers can propose monitors and share them with teammates for feedback. Editors, Admins and Owners can review the configuration, make changes if needed, and enable them when the time is right.
You can now configure Table Monitors to alert on specific schema change types rather than all schema changes at once! The supported types are:
Fields added
Fields removed
Field types changed
Previously, any schema change would trigger an alert. Now you can tune your alerts to the changes that actually matter to your team, cutting through the noise and making it easier to act fast.
In the coming months, changes to Domains will be released to address painpoints in the ownership of Monitors and messiness in reporting. The options for how to configure Domains will remain unchanged, but the UI will shift and the relationship between Monitors and Domains will become more explicit.
These changes have been already deployed to some newer customers, and will be rolled out to all customers later. Stay tuned for more communication.
Changes:
Monitors should be assigned to a Domain. When creating a Monitor, the top of the form will ask the user to select a Domain. The available Domains will be filtered to the ones the user has access to. Asset selection for that Monitor will then be filtered by the selected Domain.
Alerts will inherit the Domain of the Monitor that created them. So if an Asset is included in multiple Domains, but you only have access to 1 of them, then you may not be able to see all Alerts for that Asset.
Domain management will move out of Settings and into its own tab on the left side-nav. In addition, improved analytics and dashboarding will be provided, showing key metrics by Domain.
These changes address a couple longstanding challenges in Monte Carlo:
Ownership of Monitors. Historically, users would see (and could edit/delete) all Monitors associated with the Assets in a Domain. Since Domains often overlap, this meant users could see, edit, or delete Monitors that were not theirs.
Messy Reporting. For the same reason, reporting on key operational metrics (time to detection, status update rate, etc) by Domain was muddied by cross-pollination of Monitors and Alerts. This made it hard to report on operational progress & improvements.
Note that the options for how to configure Domains will remain unchanged. Rather, the change is in the relationship between Domains, Monitors, and Alerts created by those Monitors.
When creating a Monitor, the top of the form will ask the user to select a Domain. The available Domains will be filtered to the ones they have access to. Asset selection for that Monitor will then be filtered by the selected Domain.

Monte Carlo now supports Network Access Controls for the API and other cloud endpoints.
With Network Access Controls, you can restrict access to specific IP addresses or CIDR ranges across both global and regional endpoints (for example, api.getmontecarlo.com and api.eu1.getmontecarlo.com).
When enabled, traffic originating from IP addresses outside the defined ranges is blocked. Controls can be configured globally or on a per-endpoint basis, providing flexibility for different access needs. For example, you can:
Allow API access only from a corporate IP range
Permit Agent Observability access from agent-hosted environments
Restrict Circuit Breaker access to your Airflow infrastructure
Monte Carlo now supports more granular configuration of data sampling at the integration level.
In addition to disabling sampling for an entire integration, you can now disable sampling for specific databases, schemas, tables, or tagged assets — while keeping sampling enabled elsewhere. These controls are fully available in the UI.
For more advanced use cases, the API also supports inclusion-based configurations, allowing you to explicitly define which assets are eligible for sampling
Turn Operations Agent YAML response into a Draft monitor in one click!
Previously, when the Operations Agent suggested a monitor, it returned a YAML definition. Now, you can create a Draft Monitor directly from the chat - no copy-paste.
What’s new:
When the Operations Agent returns a monitor configuration as YAML, use the "Create Draft" button to convert it instantly into a Draft monitor
The draft opens in-product, where you can review, edit, and share with teammates
We’ve introduced a new Weekly Digest to help you stay on top of what happened in your data. Each week, you’ll get a curated summary that highlights what mattered most in your environment, with direct links to dig deeper.
What you’ll see:
A snapshot of alerts and incidents from the past week
Visibility into unresolved issues and monitors that may need attention
Insights scoped to your domains and responsibilities, where possible
A quick look at how your team handled issues during the week
**Take action in one click:**Every stat in the email is clickable and takes you straight to a filtered view in Monte Carlo, so you can review details, investigate issues, or make updates right away.
Make sure you’re subscribed to receive it. If you opted out in the past, you can update your preferences anytime in your Profile settings.
When you create a new monitor, you’ll now receive an email once it completes its first run, so you know whether it’s working as expected.
What to expect:
✅ If the first run succeeds, you’ll get a confirmation that it completed successfully, along with a clear path to review results
⚠️ If the first run fails, you’ll receive a notification with a link to review and fix the issue
Each email includes a direct link to the monitor details page, where you can: Review the results / Adjust thresholds or settings / Re-run the monitor if needed.
The notification is sent once per monitor (excluding drafts or disabled monitors), and you can unsubscribe at any time.
