Triage recent errors across your fleet faster

From the All Machines dashboard, you can now quickly see which machines have reported errors in the past 10 minutes. Click any alert to investigate and troubleshoot more efficiently.

This fleet-wide visibility helps operations teams respond more quickly to issues, reducing downtime and improving overall system reliability.

Gather even more machine data for teleoperation with the new table widget

We’ve released a table widget for the teleop interface that allows you to display data queried from a machine in a customizable table. This widget can be used alongside the existing actuation, camera stream, GPS map, stat, and time series graph widgets.

Collaborate effectively with configuration edit warnings

We want to support collaboration and prevent accidental overwrites when editing your machine or fragment configurations. If someone else has made changes, or if you've edited in another tab, you'll now see a warning before saving a configuration or fragment.

This simple but important feature helps ensure that teams don't unintentionally overwrite each other's work, making configuration management more reliable in collaborative environments.

Test and iterate fragment updates with new Merge Changes feature

We're making it easier to test and iterate with fragments. When you're testing changes to your machine by overriding a fragment and have validated they're working, you can now quickly merge those overrides back into the original fragment, applying them across your entire fleet.

Just click "Merge Changes" on the resource that has overrides, and we'll handle the update for you. This keeps your fragments up to date without breaking your flow, streamlining the development and testing process for fragment-based configurations.
