We're pleased to release a real delighter and popular feature request - it's now possible to remove the
empty space
from your dashboards with one-click. Often when moving tiles around on a dashboard, you're left with an empty row or some space that you'd like to collapse. This previously meant manually dragging each tile into the right spot, but you can use the 'Tidy layout
' to do that for you!
The new HaloPSA data source lets you monitor and visualize data from your HaloPSA environment, making it ideal for IT service management dashboards. The integration offers several data streams including:
- Reports: which pulls data from saved reports in HaloPSA
- Tickets: which returns a list of tickets and can be scoped by client
- Clients details: which returns detailed information for specific clients

We're pleased to announce that our powerful SQL Analytics feature is out of beta, and generally available for all customers. As part of this release we've made some changes to make it even easier to work with multiple datasets or perform advanced shaping using SQL.
- Full IntelliSense support and syntax highlighting: When writing your query, you'll see now autocomplete prompts for column names, dataset names as well as all available SQL commands.
- Migrated to DuckDB: Under the covers we've moved to DuckDB - this is more standard PostgreSQL-compatible processing engine, and means you'll be able to write queries more easily with familiar commands and operations.
- Improved navigation/step UX: As part of the recent tile editor updates, we've also simplified the navigation experience between multiple datasets.
In April, we introduced a major upgrade to the
tile editor
, making it faster and easier than ever to visualize data with a new splash screen, smarter data selection, dockable panels, and improved SQL editing. Let us know your feedback (hello@squaredup.com).We also expanded our
Microsoft 365 data source
with 8 new dashboards, relay agent support, and enhanced performance. It's also been a great month for customer delighters with many great feature requests rolling out this month: pausing individual notification rules
, changing timeframe on shared dashboards
, and copy tiles with variables between dashboards
. Plugin updates brought new data streams, usability improvements, and stability enhancements across platforms like
Jira
, Prometheus
, Microsoft 365
, Pingdom
and Web API

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.
