Vercel Brings Observability Metrics Directly to the CLI
Vercel has shipped a new vercel metrics command, making observability data accessible directly from the command line for the first time.
The update, announced on May 5, 2026, lets developers query performance, reliability, and security data for any Vercel team or project, without leaving the terminal. Previously, teams had to access this data through the Vercel dashboard. Now, the Vercel CLI observability metrics command brings that same data into scripted and automated workflows.
Notably, the feature also extends to coding agents. Agents can use the vercel metrics command to analyze application performance, investigate reliability issues, and debug security concerns programmatically. That makes it a useful tool not just for individual developers, but for AI-assisted development workflows increasingly common across engineering teams.
The command is currently available in public beta for all teams subscribed to Observability Plus. Full documentation for the vercel metrics command is available in the Vercel CLI docs.
The addition continues Vercel’s push to make observability a first-class part of the developer workflow, accessible not just through visual dashboards, but directly within the tools developers already use every day.
