Backfilled cargo estimates for historical vessel visits, cross-product navigation rolled out, fixed first-load crash, and Layer social preview cards.
Service status page
Overwatch now includes a built-in status page that shows real-time health for core platform services — database connectivity, AIS data freshness, ingestion pipeline, and visit pipeline. Each service displays its current state (operational, degraded, or down) along with a 24-hour visual timeline so you can spot intermittent issues at a glance. Health checks run every 5 minutes, and three consecutive failures trigger an automatic alert. A programmatic health endpoint is also available for external monitoring tools. Visit the status page from Dashboard > Status.
Backfilled cargo estimates for historical vessel visits
Approximately 16,000 past vessel visits that were missing hydrostatic cargo estimates have now been retroactively processed. If you previously saw gaps in cargo data for departed vessels, those visits now include tonnage estimates calculated using the same methodology as live arrivals. No action is required on your part.
Cross-product navigation bar now visible on all pages
The Axiom navigation bar was missing from several pages including intelligence, blog, pricing, and dashboard sub-pages. It now appears consistently across every Overwatch page, so you can switch between Layer, Overwatch, Locus, and Codex from anywhere in the application.
Fixed crash on first page load
Resolved an issue where the Locus application could display a generic "Application error" screen on first visit. The crash was caused by analytics initialization running in the wrong order during page load. The fix ensures analytics are fully initialized before any page tracking occurs, so the app loads reliably on first visit. No action is required on your part.
Branded social preview cards for Layer
Links to axiomlayer.io now render a branded preview card when shared on Slack, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other platforms that read OpenGraph metadata. The 1200×630 image uses the Layer pink and indigo brand palette and highlights the free shadow IT scan. No action is required on your part — existing links will pick up the new preview the next time the destination platform refreshes its cache.
