Blue Storm Unlocks Real-Time Logs and Smarter Admin Tools in Latest AppControl Release

June 2, 2025 – Blue Storm, the leading provider of Mendix application management tools, today announced the latest AppControl release, delivering real-time visibility, expanded administrative controls, and an improved user experience across the platform.

This update sharpens AppControl’s focus on operational efficiency—introducing real-time log access, enhanced automation via APIs, and more granular control through user-defined access groups. These features help teams respond faster, manage access more precisely, and stay ahead of platform issues.

“We’re giving teams the tools to take action as soon as something changes,” said Andrew Whalen, Founder of Blue Storm. “From real-time logs to smarter admin features, this release keeps teams better informed and more empowered than ever.”

This release builds on AppControl’s comprehensive support for the Mendix app lifecycle: Develop, Deploy, Monitor, and Control.

Highlights of the May AppControl Update

Real-Time Log Downloads
App Administrators can now download and inspect live logs from the Logs tab of any app. This enables immediate troubleshooting and insight without waiting for daily exports.

New System Status Bar for Admins
Platform Administrators now see a system-wide status bar at the top of every page, surfacing urgent issues such as error logs or unresolved feedback—so nothing slips through the cracks.

More Control Through Access Groups
Group Administrators can now create Access Groups, allowing custom permissions for subsets of users within an app group. This makes it easier to delegate responsibilities without sacrificing control.

Expanded Management APIs
New API endpoints allow admins to automate key actions: enable/disable apps and features, and manage app operator assignments. These APIs pave the way for deeper integration and automation.

Smarter, Faster Releases
Release workflows now feature near real-time task output (20–60 seconds), automatic revision refresh and selection, and live dashboard updates—making it easier to monitor progress and react to deployment issues quickly.

More Transparent Support Flow
Support tickets now clearly indicate whether action is pending from Blue Storm or the customer, improving communication and accountability.

Other Improvements and Fixes

  • Improved scalability for managing 250+ apps

  • Task assigners can now close delegated tasks

  • Multiple bug fixes addressing release reliability, GIT file handling, memory usage, and policy checks
