How is your enterprise tracking AI agent telemetry? Groundcover thinks it should never leave your cloud

Observability startup groundcover raised $100 million led by One Peak, bringing total funding to $160 million, as it claims 250+ paying customers and tripled ARR. The company argues that AI agents are creating far more telemetry and operational complexity than legacy observability platforms were designed to handle.

groundcover is positioning data locality as a strategic wedge against incumbents like Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic, Splunk and Grafana. If enterprises accept that AI-driven telemetry should stay inside their own cloud, observability architecture could shift from centralized SaaS pipelines toward more in-environment monitoring models.
