Query Smarter, Not Harder

We're excited to share an update to our Analyze package—introducing the RQL AI Assistant, a natural language AI assistant to help you write your RQL queries. If you've ever been frustrated by the complexity of Rollbar Query Language (RQL) or the time it takes to get your data, this feature is the solution you've been waiting for.

Why is API Testing Important and How to do it Right

Whether you're a business that relies on Amazon reviews and seller feedback or planning a much-needed holiday through your favorite travel comparison site, everyday activities like these wouldn't be impossible without APIs. An integral part of app development, API technology is interwoven into a rich tapestry of popular applications that companies and consumers use daily. Without them, there would be no smartphones, social media, or instant messaging.

Saved Filter Notifications

Alerts and notifications have been part of TrackJS since the very beginning. Our standard notification options reflect our desire to keep things simple.

Grafana and Graphite Best Practices

Efficient monitoring and visualization of performance metrics are paramount for ensuring seamless user experiences and reliable system operations. Grafana and Graphite, two powerful open-source tools, form an unbeatable combination when it comes to monitoring and analyzing time-series data. Grafana provides a robust and flexible platform for visualizing data, while Graphite acts as a scalable and efficient backend for storing and retrieving metric data.

Monitoring CPU Temperature with Hosted Graphite

Monitoring CPU temperature is crucial for ensuring the smooth and efficient functioning of computer systems. As processors become more powerful, they generate more heat, which can lead to performance issues, system instability, and even hardware damage. Overheating is a common problem faced by many computer users, especially those who engage in resource-intensive tasks like gaming or running complex software.

3 Ways to Build a Network That Supports Business Innovation

In recent years, it has often been said that the network is a “utility” much like heat or hot water. It’s a necessity to the needs of daily life for much of the world’s population.
