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.

Engineering Cloud Native Horizon UI 系列第十三篇：Platform monitoring 下的三个只读入口，用来查看 OAP 集群是否健康、实际运行配置是什么，以及各类数据会保留多久，包括 BanyanDB 的 hot/warm/cold 生命周期。 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-access-control-and-security/ Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-access-control-and-security/ 吴晟 Engineering Cloud Native Horizon UI 系列第十四篇：Horizon 自己的访问控制体系，包括由服务端强制执行的四级 RBAC、本地与 LDAP/AD 认证、append-only audit log、仅在 LDAP 故障时可用的 break-glass 入口，以及五套内置主题。所有逻辑都在 Horizon BFF 中实现，对任何 OAP 版本都一致。 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-customization-and-templates/ Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-customization-and-templates/ 吴晟 Engineering Cloud Native Horizon UI 系列第十五篇：整个控制台都由可编辑模板驱动。你可以把任意 layer 或 overview 打开成模板，在本地草稿里调整组件、widget 和文案，预览后发布到 OAP 给整个组织使用，并在发布前查看差异，也可以导出和导入。 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-localization-i18n/ Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-30-horizon-ui-localization-i18n/ 吴晟 Engineering Community Horizon UI 系列第十六篇：Horizon 支持八种语言。本地化不是每次渲染时重新翻译，而是在服务端把翻译 overlay 合并到同一套 template 上；用户可以从顶栏切换语言，也可以在 Translations 管理页点选任意 widget 直接补翻译，而 OAP 返回的数据始终保持原样。

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. https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-29-horizon-ui-inspect-cross-layer-query/ Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-29-horizon-ui-inspect-cross-layer-query/ Sheng Wu Engineering Metrics Part 12 of the Meet Horizon UI series: the Inspect family under Operate — a metric catalog and MQE board that shows which rule defines every metric, plus layer-less trace and log finders that query across the whole deployment without picking a layer first.

https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-29-horizon-ui-runtime-rules-and-live-debugging/ 吴晟 Engineering Metrics Horizon UI 系列第十一篇：在浏览器里编辑 SkyWalking 的 OAL/MAL/LAL 分析规则，通过可恢复的集群确认流程让变更在运行中的 OAP 上生效；再用三个标签页的 Live Debugger 让同一条规则跑在真实数据上，看清它到底算出了什么。 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-29-horizon-ui-inspect-cross-layer-query/ Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-29-horizon-ui-inspect-cross-layer-query/ 吴晟 Engineering Metrics Horizon UI 系列第十二篇：Operate 下的 Inspect 家族，包括能看到每个指标由哪条规则定义的指标目录和 MQE 看板，以及不必先选择 layer 就能在全局范围查询的 trace 和 log 入口。 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-26-horizon-ui-profiling/ Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-26-horizon-ui-profiling/ Sheng Wu Profiling Engineering Part 9 of the Meet Horizon UI series: SkyWalking's five profilers — trace, async (JVM), eBPF, Go pprof, and network — four of them pouring into one shared flame-graph and stack-tree engine, and the fifth rendering a process honeycomb instead. https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-26-horizon-ui-profiling/ Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-26-horizon-ui-profiling/ 吴晟 Profiling Engineering Horizon UI 系列第九篇：SkyWalking 的五种 profiler：trace、async（JVM）、eBPF、Go pprof 和 network。前四种统一进入同一套火焰图和调用树视图，network 则用蜂窝拓扑展示进程间通信。 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-23-horizon-ui-browser-errors-and-source-maps/ Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-23-horizon-ui-browser-errors-and-source-maps/ Sheng Wu Logging Engineering Part 8 of the Meet Horizon UI series: the browser agent's JavaScript-error feed, and the capability that makes it useful — resolving a minified production stack back to your original file, line, column, symbol and source, frame by frame. https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-23-horizon-ui-browser-errors-and-source-maps/ Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-23-horizon-ui-browser-errors-and-source-maps/ 吴晟 Logging Engineering Horizon UI 系列第八篇：浏览器端 agent 上报的 JavaScript 错误流，以及如何借助 source map 把生产环境压缩后的 stack

https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2026-06-22-horizon-ui-3d-infrastructure-map/ Sheng Wu Cloud Native Engineering Part 5 of the Meet Horizon UI series: a single WebGL view of your whole deployment — every layer's services as cubes stacked on tiers, with live traffic, alarm beacons, and the calls between them. https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/2026-06-22-horizon-ui-3d-infrastructure-map/ Mon, 22
