New in Bindplane: Permalinks

I’m excited to announce a new feature in Bindplane: Permalinks. Available in Bindplane Cloud right now! Permalinks will be shipped in version v1.97.0 and above in Self-hosted Bindplane. Permalinks make it easy to share a single URL that takes teammates, support engineers, or other stakeholders directly to the exact view you’re looking at. No extra navigation, no guessing, and no “can you click over here?” moments.

If you work in large environments with multiple projects, teams, and configurations, permalinks remove a surprising amount of friction from everyday collaboration and troubleshooting.

What are Permalinks in Bindplane?

Permalinks are shareable URLs that point directly to a specific location inside Bindplane. This could be the agents page, a specific configuration, or even an individual configuration node like a source, processor, destination, or connector.

Permalinks don’t change Bindplane’s security model. Authentication and authorization work exactly the same way as before. A link alone is never enough, you must be logged in and have permission to access the resources at the permalink.

Why did we build Permalinks?

Permalinks have been on our wishlist for a long time, and have been a frequent request from customers as well. As organizations scale their telemetry pipelines, they naturally end up with more orgs, more projects, and more specialized configurations.

Before permalinks, sharing a link often meant a frustrating workflow:

• Log in
• Manually switch to the correct organization
• Manually switch to the correct project
• Then try to find the right page or resource

This was manageable in small setups, but painful in large environments. It was especially frustrating when collaborating across teams, onboarding new users, or working through an issue with support. Explaining how to navigate through multiple menus just to inspect a single processor isn’t a great use of anyone’s time.

How Permalinks work?

At a high level, permalinks are straightforward:

• Every project has a unique project identifier embedded in the URL
• Configuration nodes are uniquely identified using query parameters
• The full navigation context of the UI is represented in the link

In practice, this turns Bindplane’s navigation into fast, shareable navigation. Easier collaboration, stop wasting time.
