Announcing custom dashboards

Today we are extremely excited to announce support for fully custom exploration dashboards inside bitdrift Capture. Real-time dynamic mobile observability is an operational super power, and the ability to create custom visualizations of your data makes it substantially simpler to keep track of important data and share findings with others.

The core of the Capture observability experience is what we call a workflow. A workflow is a finite state machine that is sent from our SaaS to mobile clients. The workflow describes what events to look for and what actions to take in response to those events (for example emit a synthetic metric, measure time, create a funnel, capture a user session, and so on). Workflows are grouped into logical units called explorations. Up until now the only way to look at workflow artifacts such as charts, session captures, and funnels, was to click through to every individual workflow. As of today, each exploration now has its own fully customizable dashboard. Dashboard customizations include:

Customizable section header text and dividers
Reordering, resizing, and hiding workflow charts within rows

This feature makes it substantially easier to develop a single operational view that spans many different workflows, and to then share that view with the rest of the team. This is just the beginning of the work we plan in this area. Our future roadmap includes the ability to add additional chart types such as bar charts, pie charts, tree maps, as well easier access to template variables to hone in on particular dimensions, like app version, across your custom charts. Watch this space! Capture is changing the mobile observability game by adding a control plane and local storage on every mobile device, providing extremely detailed telemetry when you need it, and none when you don’t. If the lack of custom dashboards was keeping you away, now is the time to give us a try! Interested in learning more? Check out the sandbox to get a hands-on feel for what working with Capture is like or get in touch with us for a demo. Please join us in Slack as well to ask questions and give feedback!
