Rollbar

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. We understand working with the RQL has been a steep learning curve for many.

Introducing Item Snooze

We are introducing a new Snooze option for items. When Snoozing an item, the user will define how long an item will stop sending notifications for - once that time period expires then the item will return to normal and begin sending notifications again. Currently, setting an Item to have a status of Muted prevents notifications from being sent until somebody changes the status back to Active.

Saved Views

On the new item list page, for Advanced and Enterprise customers we are introducing the ability to store a collection of applied filters as a named Saved View, so that users can quickly switch between different configured views of their items. For users with a large number of projects, switching between the different views of the data they are interested in can be a time-consuming manual process.

Next.js vs. React Performance

In the early days of the web, the idea of performance was relatively straightforward. Pages were static, and the most dynamic thing you might encounter was a blinking banner ad. But as the web evolved, so did our ambitions. Today it's not just about building web pages anymore; it's about crafting experiences. Load speed time and search engine optimization (SEO) matter just as much as the content on the page. Thus, the choice between React and Next.js is an important one, with real-world implications.

Item Detail Page Updates

We’ve been listening to all the great feedback we’ve received on the new item detail page, and we’re pushing changes to help make investigating and understanding Rollbar items easier, quicker, and more efficient. The most visible change is that the context graphs have been moved to a single full-width view on the desktop so that you can immediately see the patterns of when occurrences happened, helping to spot patterns in behavior that can give insights into causes.

New Item List

We are proud to announce that we are starting to roll out access to the new version of the item list page. The new page has been redesigned, refreshed and rebuilt from scratch; the fresh new look and feel is mobile friendly and also brings a number of immediate new benefits compared to the legacy page. Access will be available through a header to allow users to switch to the new page, with the ability to switch back to the legacy page if needed.
