Improved Web API experience
SquaredUp has over 90+ built in data sources, but thanks to our Web API, PowerShell and CSV data sources, it's possible to integrate with nearly any data or API. In this release we've spent a bit of time polishing our Web API experience - it's now much easier to use and will feel a lot more familiar if you've worked with other API tooling.
We're always looking for ways to make it easier and quicker to visualize data and our recently improved tile editing experience offers just that.
- New splash screen: We've introduced a new splash screen to get you started quickly, you can pick from your data sources, recent datastreams or object collections.
- Overhauled data stream selection: We've brought in categorisation and vastly simplified the UI to make it easy to find the data you're looking for.
- Popout panels: The configuration panels now act as popouts, meaning they collapse once completed, putting more focus on the visualization and getting less in your way!
- Docking: All panels also support docking, splitting the screen between the configuration and visualization. The section is also resizeable for complete control.
- SQL Analytics: Our SQL feature has been brought more in line with the editor, using the same tabs for each dataset and allowing you to quickly edit your query.
We'd love to hear how you get on with the new editor, so please reach out if you have any feedback: support@squaredup.com.

Microsoft 365 improvements
We’ve supercharged our Microsoft 365 data source with 8 new out-of-the-box dashboards, covering License Usage, Teams, Outlook, Copilot, and more. We've also added relay agent support for secure on-premise access, fixed timeout issues, and improved default timeframes and paging for a smoother experience.

Temporarily silence alerts during planned maintenance or known noisy periods. No need to delete or reconfigure. Simply pause individual notification rules in your workspace with one click, and resume when you're ready.

Changelog - March Update
In March we released a new
InfluxDB plugin
, enabling users to query and visualize time-series data. Alongside that new plugin, we've been busy improving existing plugins too: Jira Query Language
(JQL) data streams have been enhanced for faster performance, smarter paging, and clearer warnings when data is incomplete, and the Azure Cost
data streams now auto-retry and show progress when requests are throttled, while caching improvements ensure longer-lived metrics like cloud cost are retained for better analysis. We also added better validation when setting up several plugins, including UptimeRobot
and MySQL
.Beyond the feature updates and bug fixes, we've also tweaked our pricing model this month. Shared dashboards are now available on our Free and Starter plans - read more about how we're making SquaredUp even more affordable and flexible below 🎉

The new InfluxDB data source lets you query and visualize time-series data from your InfluxDB instance. It supports connections to both cloud-hosted and on-premise databases. The integration offers two data streams: metric queries (for example to chart trends over time), and table queries for displaying raw data on dashboards. Ideal for monitoring infrastructure, application metrics and more.

If an API returns a 429 (Too Many Requests) error, we now display a progress bar indicator while the tile loads.
- For Azure cost data streams, the progress bar will remain visible until all data is retrieved, based on the API's throttling response. Additionally, a 24-hour cache is maintained to improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary API calls.
- For other data streams, the progress bar will display for up to 30 seconds, before retrying up to 3 times, after which a throttling message will appear.
