Deep dive into any tile - introducing our Data Explorer
With the release of the Data Explorer, users can now dig into the data behind any tile and slice, dice and explore as needed. This is perfect for those ad-hoc ‘scratchpad’ style scenarios where you want to get some answers without creating yet another dashboard. A couple of weeks ago, we released an awesome new feature that we haven’t had a chance to showcase yet. It’s called The Data Explorer, and I think it’s pretty cool. Let’s dive in!

Using SquaredUp, you can query Azure Resource Graph with KQL to pull Change history, Azure Service Health and maintenance schedules. For the uninitiated, Azure Resource Graph is a series of tables holding information on Azure resources and how they are related.

SQUPCAST Ep. 8: Relayed from behind enemy lines
In this episode we're chatting with Matthew Long from our engineering team about how our Relay Agent get's behind enemy lines to surface all your juicy on-prem enterprise data into our fancy cloud dashboards. We'll cover the classic server deployment and chat about some container-based options too.
Introducing dashboard variables
We’re excited to announce the general availability of dashboard variables in SquaredUp. With this new feature, dashboards you create are flexible and reusable. Instead of hardcoding specific objects within the tiles on a dashboard, you can use variables to create just one dashboard to be reused across all your objects of the same type – be it your pipelines, apps, or microservices. Viewers of the dashboard can then select which objects they are interested in on the fly.
Notifications feature deep dive
In this blog, I wanted to take a deep-dive into our Notifications feature and explain some of the product design decisions we made. Notifications is one of the most frequently used features of SquaredUp. We designed this feature to be quick and easy to set up, with a primary focus on delivering timely notifications to the appropriate audience.
Announcing... Markdown magic
We're excited to share a small but mighty new feature. Our Text tile now supports Markdown! This allows you to include rich content on your dashboards such as headings, links, lists, images and more. At SquaredUp we know that a useful dashboard is more than just a few charts. With this update you can now provide key context to the data on a dashboard to help tell the right story. For example you might want to: You can easily do all that now, and more.
