Overview showed the same thing as Realtime status, so the two have been merged into one. The detail view behind it has not gone anywhere either: Status details has been rebuilt as Realtime details, with a Display menu that holds everything about how the timeline is drawn, from orientation and density down to a toggle for every element on the page. This release also brings a new API Call step for web tests and makes test variables editable and overridable everywhere.

🧹 Removed: the Overview page

Overview no longer appears in the sidebar. It answered the same question as Realtime status, from the same monitoring results, with two fixed readings and a filter on zones. Anything you did there, Realtime status already did with far more control, so we kept the one that could grow and put the effort into it and into the detail page behind it.

Nothing was dropped, and nothing is broken: old Overview links redirect to Realtime status. The Overview section of the sidebar is still there, and still holds Realtime status, Incidents and Analytics.

👉 Where did the Overview page go?

📺 New: Realtime details

Realtime status cards now open the rebuilt detail page. The timeline is the same idea as before, one cell per monitor per period, rebuilt so you can shape it.

The Display menu

One button now holds everything about how the timeline is drawn.

• Orientation: the vertical timeline is now the default, with each monitor in a column and time running down. The horizontal one is still there.

  

• Density, on the vertical timeline: Normal or Compact. Compact narrows the monitor columns so many more monitors fit on screen.

• Summary cards can be hidden, which gives the timeline the full height.

• Display labels brings back the test type inside each bucket.

• The Monitor ID, Location and 24h trend options now apply to the vertical timeline too.

Read it more easily

• Filter by test, with a search field to find a test by keyword

• The Monitors column is resizable, so long names stay readable

• Hovering a monitor column shows its full name, and cell tooltips name the monitor they belong to

• The tag row disappears on its own when none of the visible monitors is tagged

• The page scrolls as one, with the table headers pinned so they stay visible as you go down

TV mode, side by side
When it is on, it hides the left navigation entirely to give the timeline the full window width.

Your view follows you

Your settings are remembered between visits, and the URL now carries the view. A link reopens the page identically for whoever you share it with: same filters, same orientation, same options.

Faster on large products

The page renders noticeably faster on products carrying many monitors. The 24h trend column no longer redraws itself while the page sits open, which was the most visible flaw on a screen left running all day. And on long time ranges, the finest aggregations are no longer offered, since they produced tables too dense to read.

🔌 New: API Call step

A new step type for web tests (new experience, soon for smartphone tests) to make HTTP requests as part of your journeys.

Build the request: method, URL, headers, query parameters and body. Every field is variable aware, so you can reuse globals, variable groups and test variables.

Assert on the response from the Checks tab: status code, timing, headers and body.

Inspect the result: the full response (body, headers, performance) is available in the test results, and the last captured response is previewed directly in the editor right after a run.

Advanced options:

• Override DNS with one or several DNS servers, with templating supported in the field

• "Accept insecure certificates", consistent with the rest of the web test options

🧬 New: test variables, editable and overridable everywhere

Test variables of Web and Smartphone V2 tests are no longer read only.

• Edit them from the Environment tab and the step panel, always in sync with their set variable step

• Create an in test variable straight from the suggestions dropdown in the test form, and give it a rich value (globals, random functions, other test variables)

• Override them at launch, from the run confirmation drawer and from the monitor form, with support for variable references and random functions

• Override them from a test suite: edit them in the suite's test drawer with the rich variable table, see them as tags on the test rows, and have them reused when the suite runs

• See them in results: the monitor result modal now shows the variables tab, like the execution result page, and rich values are rendered as tags

📊 In progress: Observability

Our observability offer is still being built, and it is not open to everyone yet. It is progressing well, so here is where it stands.

• New Explore pages: Logs, Traces, Service map, Usage & ingestion

• Embedded Perses dashboards with ClickHouse SQL and TraceQuery panels

• Live lifecycle chips on ClickHouse results

• Revamped admin OTLP setup page

Want to try it early, or tell us what you would need from it? Get in touch, we are onboarding accounts progressively.

✨ Other improvements

• Step actions (split from here, duplicate, delete) are grouped in a dropdown menu in the test editor's right panel

• Unsaved changes dialog now offers a close cross and a "Save and leave" action next to "Leave without saving"

• Opening a test now expands the first editable step group instead of a leading reusable component

• Clearer page titles: execution and monitor result tabs show "#id name", and alert / mail report edit pages show the entity name

• Kubernetes and Usage page headers now align on the design system

• Variable name inputs (set variable, extract, sms code, mail code, mail link) no longer show the dead {} suggestions button

• Variables assigned by a custom step's script (test.variables.set) no longer appear in the test variables tables, since their runtime value would be overwritten by the script

🐛 Fixes

• Switching between the two versions of the detail page keeps the selected aggregation and zones, not only the time range

• Opening Realtime details from a card grouped by test now lands on a test filter that can be changed or cleared

• A monitor with no location no longer shows an empty location pin on the table

• Picking a time range now applies that range's default aggregation

• Timeline tooltips of the Realtime status view are no longer cut off near the screen edges

• No more double scrollbar on the timeline

• Variable overrides at run confirmation: select all then typing now replaces the whole value, function tokens included

• Built in random functions can be inserted in a test variable value from the run queue

• The variables tab of a test result no longer crashes when a variable value is a rich template

• The variable edit modal now shows the variable's description

• Variables inside a variable group can now be edited by clicking their name, like global variables

• Editing a variable value in the Environment tab now turns the Run button into "Save and run"

• Variable creation restored from the Configurations page and the test form

• API Call: checking "Override DNS" no longer crashes the form, the HTTP method is saved even when left on GET, a HEAD request no longer shows an empty response body, and the sent request headers are accessible on a GET

• API test results are easier to read: assertion rows are compact and nested under their step, and an expanded step no longer leaves a large blank area

• The Pretty / Raw toggle of the API response viewer is always shown and works

• Times displayed next to a date range picker now follow your 12h / 24h preference

• The execution mode is preserved when using "Run again" on an execution

• Switching product while on a test detail page no longer leaves a blank page, the app lands on the tests list of the new product

• Fixed an infinite loading screen when going back to the tests list from the legacy test edit page

• The XML tree inspector button in the smartphone recorder and the copy xpath button inside the modal display their icons again

• The confirmation input is now focused when opening the product deletion dialog

• The app automatically reloads again when a new version is deployed

• Visual polish across the V2 test editor: step cards, variable inputs, run confirmation and campaigns table
