July was a jam-packed month for plugins, with the new Freshdesk data source and major improvements across Azure, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Jira, Zendesk, and more, including a more capable Azure Monitor metric stream, streamlined data stream lists, new filtering and scalability options, and lots of new data streams and out-of-the-box dashboards.
A powerful new custom timeframe feature now lets you define advanced date ranges like “last 4 hours” or “this fiscal year,” alongside many more improvements and bug fixes.
