Publish Log

Publish Log shows what the dashboard sent, not what the robot did with it: each row's SENT / NOT SENT badge reflects connection state only. Use it to confirm a Custom Button or Slider fired, or to catch a Topic Publisher (Pro) stuck on repeat. For inbound topics, use Topic Log (Pro); for severity-filtered /rosout lines, use Notification Feed (Pro).

Add a Custom Button at its defaults: Topic /trigger, Message Type std_msgs/msg/Bool, Message { "data": true }. In Publish Log set Filter by Topic to /trigger, Show Schema and Show Data Preview on. Tap the button: a row lands with the schema and data preview; tap it to see the full JSON and whether it actually reached the bridge.

• The list only redraws about once a second. A Slider streaming at its default Publish Rate (Hz) (Pro) of 10 lands ten rows in one jump, not one at a time.
• Max Entries goes up to 100, but the underlying log caps at 50 events, shared across every Publish Log on the dashboard. Raising it past 50 does nothing.
• Filter by Topic is a prefix match, not exact: /cmd catches /cmd_vel and /cmd_arm alike.
