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 🎉
