BitDive 1.2.6: WebSocket Support, Daily Statistics, and On-Air Configuration
We're excited to announce the release of BitDive 1.2.6, bringing new capabilities that make runtime intelligence for JVM applications even more powerful and developer-friendly. This update expands protocol coverage, adds a new analytics view, and introduces flexible agent configuration - all designed to help teams move faster from problem detection to resolution.
What's New in 1.2.6โ
WebSocket Supportโ
Real-time applications rely heavily on WebSockets, but until now these flows were hard to trace end-to-end. BitDive 1.2.6 adds first-class WebSocket support:
- Capture incoming and outgoing WebSocket messages.
- Trace them in full context alongside HTTP, SQL, Kafka, and gRPC.
- Validate message flows during regression and replay testing.
This makes debugging streaming and bidirectional protocols as straightforward as analyzing REST endpoints.
Daily Statistics Dashboardโ
BitDive now includes a dedicated Daily Statistics dashboard.
- See the slowest SQL queries, internal methods, incoming requests, and external API calls.
- Review error sources with timestamps, messages, and direct links to traces.
- Quickly identify the "top offenders" in your system without combing through raw traces.
The dashboard is your daily snapshot of performance bottlenecks and recurring errors, helping developers focus where it matters most. Read the full guide โ
On-Air Configurationโ
Configuring an agent usually means restarts or redeploys. Not anymore.
With on-air configuration in 1.2.6, you can adjust BitDive agent behavior at runtime directly from the UI or API:
- Enable/disable specific modules (SQL, WebSocket, Kafka, etc.)
- Adjust sampling and tracing parameters
- Apply changes instantly without downtime

Why It Mattersโ
BitDive 1.2.6 continues our mission to provide developers with full runtime intelligence - without overhead or friction. With WebSocket tracing, daily performance insights, and live agent configuration, you can:
- Troubleshoot faster
- Prioritize optimizations with data
- Adapt profiling without waiting for the next deployment
Upgrade Todayโ
BitDive 1.2.6 is available now. Update your Maven dependency or Docker image, refresh the agent, and start exploring the new capabilities.
