Foxglove 2.40.0
πΌοΈ Synced Pixel Cursor Across Image Panelsβ
Hovering on a pixel in the Image panel now shows the pixel value across all Image panels displaying images sharing the same frame_id and dimensions.
π Improvements to Embedding Foxgloveβ
The embed API now includes several enhancements:
-
getLayoutmethod: The API now includes a method to export the current layout from the embed. This enables programmatic access to layout data for sharing and other use cases.For the React package, a
refis available to access this functionality:const viewerRef = useRef<FoxgloveViewer>(null);
const layout = await viewerRef.current?.getLayout(); -
Recordings by Device: You can now select a recording data source by
deviceNameordeviceIdwith optionalstartandendtime parameters. This enables more flexible data source selection in embedded Foxglove instances.
π Event Details Pageβ
You can now view details of individual events on a dedicated page. This page provides a way to link to a specific event. All actions from the event list page are available, including visualize, view recordings, download, and delete.
π Fisheye62 Distortion Modelβ
Added support for the Fisheye62 distortion model, a distortion model that adds tangential distortion parameters (p0, p1) to the KannalaβBrandt distortion model, along with an optional critical angle (ΞΈcrit). This model is compatible with SymForce and Project Aria Fisheye62 calibrations. If ΞΈcrit is not provided, it is calculated automatically from the radial coefficients.
New & Improved
- The
pointClouds.tsUser Scripts utility now supports int8, uint32, and float64 for ROS PointCloud2 messages - Topic converter extension topics can now be used as input topics for user scripts
- Problems tab badge count now includes player and session problems
- Added copy and plot buttons for timestamp structs in the Raw Messages panel
- Improved error messaging when an advertised channel uses an unknown schema
- The Raw Messages panel now displays a degree symbol next to
rpyvalues for quaternion fields
Fixes

- Restored
@derivativeand@deltamodifiers for filtered paths - Fixed crashes and freezes when loading invalid or empty VoxelGrid messages
- Fixed cursor moving while typing in metadata search input
- Fixed error when message-path plots point to series with no data
- Fixed plots reloading data when a series before them is deleted
- Fixed the playback bar buttons being enabled after the "Create Event" modal closes

Primary Site v0.0.84
This primary site release adds an optional feature that will send health metrics to Foxglove.
These metrics are all Prometheus metrics generated by the Foxglove services in the chart (query-server, inbox-listener or indexer, and site-controller) as well as the new kube-state-metrics component that monitors the pods and deployments in your cluster's Foxglove namespace.
This feature can be disabled by setting the following in your values.yaml:
globals:
publishSiteMetrics: false
Added
-
Added new deployment for
kube-state-metrics. This will monitor the Foxglove namespace and produce metrics about the health of pods.It can be disabled by updating your
values.yamlfile:kubeStateMetrics:
enabled: false -
The
site-controllerwill now gather health metrics from the Foxglove namespace and send them to Foxglove. These metrics will be used to monitor the health of your deployment.It can be disabled by updating your
values.yamlfile:globals:
publishSiteMetrics: false
Foxglove 2.39.1
Primary Site v0.0.83
Added
- Added the
https://embed.foxglove.devURL to the query server allowed CORS origin list. This an embedded Foxglove to read from primary sites.
Primary Site v0.0.82
Foxglove 2.39.0
π Python Notebook Integrationβ
You can now visualize data in any Jupyter-like notebook environment using the new notebook integration. Install the package with pip install "foxglove-sdk[notebook]", then use foxglove.init_notebook_buffer() to create a buffer for collecting and displaying data in an interactive Foxglove viewer within your notebook.
The integration supports:
- Streaming data visualization in Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab, Google Colab, and VS Code
- Real-time updates using
refresh()to update viewer data - Local layout management for customized visualizations
Learn more in the Jupyter notebook documentation.
π Recording Metadata Search APIβ
The optional metadataQuery parameter is now available in the Recordings List API. You can filter recordings by metadata using key-value search syntax:
temperature:highβ find recordings with sensor metadata where temperature is highstatus:* location:labβ find recordings with any status AND location lab*:errorβ find any key with "error" valuewarehouseName:"leaping llama"β use quotes for values with spaces
π Iframe Embeddingβ
Embed Foxglove in your application or website using our TypeScript or React SDKs. The embedding capability enables multi-modal data visualization and debugging within your application.
The embedding SDK supports:
- Multiple data sources: load from local files, recordings, and live connections
- Local layout persistence: embed layouts now persist in IndexedDB, allowing users to make layout changes that are saved automatically
- Programmatic control: switch between layouts, revert changes, export layouts, and manage multiple layouts with the
selectLayoutAPI - Extension support: install custom extensions programmatically (Enterprise only)
Learn more in the embedding documentation.
π Custom User Script Utilitiesβ
Extension authors can now register custom utilities that user scripts can import and use. Create reusable functions in your extensions to share complex data processing logic across multiple user scripts.
User script utilities are currently in beta. The API may change based on testing and feedback.
This feature lets you:
- Register TypeScript utilities in extensions using
registerUserScriptUtility - Import and use utilities in user scripts like standard modules
- Keep utilities self-contained with their own source code and types
- View utility source code in the User Script panel's "Utilities" tab
Utilities are great for implementing domain-specific algorithms, helper functions, and reusable transformations that users might need across different scripts.
Learn more in the user script utility documentation.
