View all- 15 JanNew Ably dashboardDASHBOARD
We've excited to announce the release of the new Ably dashboard. This release transforms the dashboard from a configuration-first interface into a comprehensive observability platform. It also includes a fresh UI for better navigation between Ably products and a more modern UX. View live activity on any channel or connection with realtime metrics and telemetry. The channel inspector displays attached clients, message flows, presence sets, and active integrations. The connection inspector shows which channels a specific connection is attached to, message rates, geographic location, and SDK details. Both inspectors include scoped realtime log streams for immediate debugging.

Version 2.16.0 of the JS Client Library has been released. This release introduces a redesigned LiveObjects API centered around path-based operations. The new PathObject abstraction provides a more intuitive interaction model where operations resolve at runtime against the current value at a path, rather than being bound to specific object instances.
