Custom Metric Dashboards​

Memfault captures heartbeat metrics from devices. These metrics can then be viewed on a per-device basis. Customers have been asking for the ability to perform aggregates on these metrics over a fleet of devices.

We are happy to say this feature is now available! Once a metric chart is created, you can aggregate over the devices within a cohort or across a software version.

General Improvements​

• You can now set the Device nickname and notes in the UI

• Allow force-refreshing the metric dashboards
• Issue filtering has been improved dramatically

Support for Complex Upgrade Paths​

Many firmware projects have complex firmware upgrade paths. This might be to enable binary differential updates to save bandwidth or maybe to allow for a project to remove backwards-incompatible code.

For example, when upgrading a firmware from a 1.x to a 2.x release, the device might need to go through a migration firmware as shown below.

Reboot Reason Tracking​

Memfault will now show an overview of why devices in your fleet are rebooting. If a project implements the Reboot Reason Tracking module, Memfault will show this information in the main dashboard.

Dashboards!​

The default landing page is now a Project Dashboard! Here, you'll find information such as:

• Top and Newest Issues
• Number of Traces, Bug Reports, and new Issues recently received
• The Software Version distribution
• Count of active Devices
• Number of Devices seen each day

These dashboards are filterable by Cohort. This gives you the ability to filter the data to only internal or external devices, or to a particular customer.

Memfault Changelog for April

Embedded​

• Add support for showing logs in the Issue detail view if the device is compiled and uses the Memfault Logging SDK.

• Add support for deleting a symbol file for a Software Version from the UI
• Show Device reboots in the Device detail view
• Improve Trace de-duplication when a Device crashes from within an ISR

Issue Reason Filter Multi-Select​

You can now filter by multiple Issue reasons at once. The filtering will persist in the browser's localStorage and will propagate to the URL so that you can send links to your co-workers of your favorite queries.

Device Metrics Zoom and Normalize​

We have added a zoom feature for the Device Metrics, as well as the ability to normalize the Y-axis units. This is useful for digging into a particular moment in time and comparing similar metrics.

Issue Detail Page Updates​

We've given the Issue Detail page a face-lift and provided more data in less screen real-estate.

ESP32 Initial Support​

Our Firmware SDK and service now has support for accepting events and coredumps generated from our ESP32 SDK port.

Improved Issue Filtering and Sorting​

As Memfault adds support for more types of Traces, we found that we were craving the ability to quickly filter by the reason, or the type of Issue. You can now find this ability in the new filtering dropdown.

We've also added the ability to sort by more fields in the Issues list. This enables teams to quickly learn which issues are the most prevalent and require attention.

In this update, we've added Jira integration, the ability to filter Issues by Cohort, and much more.

Happy 2020! We hope you are as excited for the new year as we are at Memfault.

In this update, we've added improved Issue filtering, automated ISR analysis, a built-in hex viewer into the Trace viewer, and many other improvements.
