If you’re passionate about robotics, two upcoming events should be on your radar. Foxglove is thrilled to invite you to join us at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) from Oct 1 - Oct 5 in Detroit and the Robot Operating System Conference (ROSCon) from Oct 18 - Oct 20 in New Orleans.

Foxglove will have a booth at both conferences (Booth 428 at IROS, Booth 21-22 at ROSCon) – give us a visit to experience our powerful tooling firsthand. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or dipping your toes into robotics for the first time, you'll discover how leading robotics companies are using our observability platform to visualize their data, accelerate their development, and get their product to market faster.

Share your success

We want to hear from you! Swing by our booth to share how you're using Foxglove, and we’ll celebrate your achievements by getting your hands on some exclusive Foxglove merch!

Even if you haven’t tried Foxglove out for yourself just yet, give us a visit and pick up some Foxglove swag. Visitors to our booth will get the chance to enter a drawing for some exciting prizes – be sure to check us out to learn more.

Get onboarding help

If you're interested in getting your robotics team started with our robotics observability tools, we're here to help. Our experts can guide you through the onboarding process and make sure we’re addressing your unique needs.

Meet the Foxglove team

Our team, including our talented engineers, will be on-site to answer your questions and gather your feedback. Building Foxglove has always been a collaborative effort with the open source robotics community, and we value your input.

For a one-on-one discussion about how Foxglove can help your team, don't hesitate to reach out to us at sales\@foxglove.dev. We're eager to connect with you and explore the possibilities.

We’re excited to meet you at IROS and ROSCon – if you’re interested in scheduling a meeting with our team at either of these conferences, you can contact us directly. We can’t wait to immerse ourselves in the wider robotics community, learn from our peers, and help teams learn how to take their projects to new heights with Foxglove.

Contact us

We’re excited to demonstrate how Foxglove can help your robotics team explore data, accelerate development, and get a product to market faster.


Earlier this year, Foxglove announced support for Microsoft SSO sign in. Since then, we’ve extended our OpenID Connect (OIDC) client and expanded our SSO support to include another auth provider – Okta.

Okta is automatically enabled for all Enterprise Foxglove organizations by default. If you're not an Enterprise user, but would still like to get started with Okta SSO for your team, contact our team at sales\@foxglove.dev to enable the feature for your Foxglove organization. Then, you can reference the Foxglove docs to create an Okta application, enable an Okta tile, and configure your OIDC settings.

OIDC settings

Once Okta SSO is set up for your Foxglove organization, admins can disable all other authentication methods. This means that if an admin deletes any team member from the Okta application and Foxglove, that member’s access is completely and immediately revoked.

Sign up page

We’re excited to continue extending our SSO support – please let us know if your team uses another authentication provider that you’d like to see integrated. As always, you can join our Slack community or follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter to ask questions, share feedback, or learn more about what we’re building next.


Foxglove users can now search for relevant topics and message paths via the “Topics” sidebar, and then drag-and-drop the one they want to visualize into select Foxglove panels (Raw Messages, Image, Plot, State Transitions, and Table).

Getting started

It’s become easier than ever to find and explore data you’re interested in. Instead of using each panel’s settings and interfaces to select topics to display, you can now search for relevant data and decide how to visualize it all in one place.

To get started, open or connect to a data source in Foxglove. Then, open the “Topics” sidebar to search your data source for topics and message paths you want to inspect:

Search topics and message paths

From there, drag-and-drop the desired message paths into the panel of your choice to display them. For example, you could plot your IMU's linear acceleration on all 3 axes by dragging these paths (/imu.linear\_accel.x, /imu.linear\_accel.y, and /imu.linear\_accel.z) into an available Plot panel:

Drag-and-drop message paths

To select multiple message paths for drag-and-drop visualization, use “Shift” to select a range of adjacent items, or “Ctrl” (and “Cmd” on macOS) to select and deselect multiple non-adjacent items.

If a message path isn’t supported for visualization by a particular panel, the panel will be grayed out:

Disabled panel

After dropping a message path onto a panel, open the panel's settings to edit the selected topic or configure any other options.

Stay tuned

With this new search and drag-and-drop support, we hope Foxglove is helping make multimodal data visualization easier, faster, and more seamless than ever for your entire robotics team.

As always, feel free to share your questions and feedback in our Slack community or on any of our other platforms (GitHub, Twitter, LinkedIn).
