All of it lives in Horizon's BFF and works the same on any OAP version. https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-customization-and-templates/ Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-customization-and-templates/ Sheng Wu Engineering Cloud Native Part 15 of the Meet Horizon UI series: the whole console is driven by templates you can edit. Open any layer or overview as a template, change its widgets, components, and labels in a local draft, preview it, and publish it to OAP for the whole org — with diff-before-push and export/import. https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-localization-i18n/ Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-localization-i18n/ Sheng Wu Engineering Community Part 16 of the Meet Horizon UI series: Horizon speaks eight languages, not by re-translating on every render but as server-side overlays merged onto the same templates. Pick a language from the topbar, or click any widget on the Translations admin to translate it — while every value OAP supplies stays verbatim. https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-getting-started-and-migration/ Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-getting-started-and-migration/ Sheng Wu Release Community The finale of the Meet Horizon UI series: install Horizon as a single env-driven container, point it at your OAP, and — if you're on the old UI — swap it in drop-in. Plus the OAP 10.x vs 11.x compatibility matrix: what works on the query port, and what needs OAP 11's admin host. https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-29-horizon-ui-alarms-and-incident-triage/ Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-29-horizon-ui-alarms-and-incident-triage/ Sheng Wu Metrics Cloud Native Part 10 of the Meet Horizon UI series: the incident-centric active-alarms surface — re-fires merged into one row, the MQE snapshot that fired a rule replayed on a single chart, and the same incident model carried across the topbar badge, dashboards, and the 3D map. https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-29-horizon-ui-runtime-rules-and-live-debugging/ Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-29-horizon-ui-runtime-rules-and-live-debugging/ Sheng Wu Engineering Metrics Part 11 of the Meet Horizon UI series: edit SkyWalking's OAL/MAL/LAL analysis rules in the browser and hot-apply them to the running cluster with a fenced, recoverable rollout — then step those same rules against live data in the three-tab Live Debugger to see exactly what they compute.
