Professional DDS observability
See the system. Understand the data. Resolve problems faster.
A professional workspace for monitoring, diagnosing and interacting with complex DDS systems, live or from a recording. Built for Fast DDS Pro and Safe DDS deployments.
Investigate running systems and MCAP or SQLite recordings.
Domains, Discovery Servers and XML profiles in one workspace.
Product development, support and DDS expertise together.
Designed for production systems in robotics, automotive, industrial, defense and safety-critical programs.
Built for
Two-minute product tour
See the complete DDS engineering workflow.
Discover how DDS Monitor Pro helps engineering teams understand complex DDS systems, investigate their data and interact with them—live or from a recording.
Explore domains, entities, connections and application data in one workspace.
Inspect topics, QoS, statistics, charts, images and recorded evidence.
Register types, publish controlled samples and validate system responses.
Professional observability workspace
Move from “something is wrong” to evidence.
Follow the architecture, inspect the traffic, reproduce the behavior and validate the fix without assembling a disconnected toolchain.
See the complete DDS system as it runs.
Monitor multiple domains, Discovery Servers and XML-defined environments in one dockable workspace. Move from the domain graph to entity details, statistics and raw topic data without losing context.
- Multiple monitors side by side
- Dockable and splittable panes
- Domain, physical and logical views
Turn live topic fields into useful engineering signals.
Plot numeric topic values as time-series or XY charts, inspect samples, register missing IDL types and define custom series with JavaScript formulas.
- Time-series and XY charts
- Custom calculated series
- Spy, IDL and register-type workflows
Investigate recorded behavior with the full workspace.
Open MCAP or SQLite recordings and explore them with synchronized playback. Scrub, pause, loop and change speed while charts, images and topic views stay aligned to the same timeline.
- MCAP and SQLite recordings
- Playback speed and timeline control
- Charts, images and topic data in context
Bring image and video topics into the diagnostic workspace.
Render live image data next to statistics, topic charts and entity information. Correlate what happened in the data space with what happened in the physical system.
- Live image and video panes
- ROS 2 image compatibility
- Configurable multi-pane layouts
Inspect a topic, then publish a controlled test sample.
Generate a publishing form directly from the discovered data type and send one-shot or continuous samples without leaving the monitor.
- Dynamic forms from topic types
- One-shot or continuous publishing
- Register user-supplied IDL

Short, concrete stories. Not a generic product tour.
Use focused videos to show how DDS Monitor Pro helps an engineer recognize a problem, understand its cause and verify the solution.
01 · QoS diagnosis
Find and resolve a compatibility mismatch.
Turn an invisible publisher/subscriber incompatibility into an actionable configuration fix.
02 · Reliability
Connect communication behavior to the robot.
Watch the physical result, inspect the DDS data and correct the reliability policy in one story.
03 · Topic visualization
See application behavior in an XY chart.
Plot topic fields against each other and make data relationships immediately visible.
Built around the DDS engineering loop
Observe. Diagnose. Test. Preserve the workspace.
Save layouts, chart configuration, alerts and tab order so a useful diagnostic environment becomes repeatable across sessions and team members.

DDS Monitor or DDS Monitor Pro?
The open-source monitor starts the journey. Pro becomes part of the engineering workflow.
DDS Monitor remains available as an open-source tool. DDS Monitor Pro adds the workspace, visualization, offline analysis, maintenance and direct support expected in professional programs.
