HyperPod now provides a unified Amazon Managed Grafana dashboard aggregating GPU metrics, system health, network throughput, and Kubernetes cluster state. This observability eliminates manual correlation of disparate logs, offering insights into GPU utilization, NVLink bandwidth, CPU pressure, and pod lifecycle.

Automatically collected curated logs include training progress, errors, and Python tracebacks, aiding quick diagnosis of failures. Enabled by default for new and existing RIG clusters, this enhancement supports model training teams with improved infrastructure transparency across supported AWS regions.
