Learn here what’s new in our latest release titled Yosemite, including updates to Endpoints, the control center and RUM Explorer, and more.
In today’s Tip of the Day, I’ll be going over what’s new in our latest release “Yosemite”, named after Yosemite Falls, located in California’s Yosemite National Park.
We periodically roll out our GUI updates, not, as we’ll see in today’s video, just to apply a fresh coat of paint, but to re-engineer the entire frontend and backend – allowing our users to enjoy a totally integrated monitoring platform.

Users with synthetic monitoring, RUM, and Endpoints as part of their solution will no longer have to go to three different views to set up and view tests. Instead, you’ll now have a common view that supports all your data. Whether you need to build a high-level report, analyze specific data to troubleshoot a particular issue, or run a deep dive, the new integrated Catchpoint dashboard will make it easier for you to access all your tests in one easy overview.
There are also various custom dashboard updates in Yosemite, including the scatterplot chart, our popular visualization tool. Along with other new features, you can now add scatterplot widgets to the new custom dashboard, helping you pinpoint problem test runs more quickly and directly navigate to the corresponding waterfalls.
Other dashboard updates include the ability to quickly create a shareable public URL so you can easily highlight a performance issue to someone who doesn’t have Catchpoint.
In today’s video, you’ll:
