Fix

It’s been a while since our last update, but we’ve been hard at work on some exciting new features that will roll out over the next few weeks.

To kick off the new year, we’re thrilled to share updates to the Related Tab feature, making it even easier to manage and investigate your items. The Related Tab helps you quickly identify connected items, showing if the same issue appears across your codebase or if related items might help you in debugging. Merging items is now seamless—you can combine related items directly from the Similar Items table, keeping your list organized so you can focus on real issues. We’ve also added new tables highlighting items introduced or reactivated in the same code versions, helping you spot patterns and address root causes more effectively. Read our blog to learn more!

We’ve also made a few minor updates, including redesigned Teams settings pages, small UI improvements to the item list and item detail pages, and bug fixes like missing Flutter logos and login redirect issues.

Lastly, we’ve updated the rollbar-java SDK to 2.0, which removes support for Java 7 and adds telemetry, alongside additional updates to Pyrollbar and rollbar-php.

As always, your feedback shapes the future of Rollbar. We’d love to hear from you at product@rollbar.com.

Improvement

We’ve introduced updates to the Item List page to simplify bulk actions and give you more control over managing items. When you select multiple items, the new batch actions UI appears in a sidebar, making it easier to track the changes you’re applying. This sidebar offers a clearer view of each update, helping to prevent unintended edits across large selections. Additionally, we’ve enhanced the Merge Items sidebar to streamline your workflow when combining related items.

Other improvements in this release include updates to the Item Detail page and integrations. In PagerDuty, Rollbar URLs now open directly to the relevant item, making it quicker to review incidents. For reactivated items, you’ll see the code version that caused the reactivation, shown alongside the first and latest versions for easy reference. We’ve also made the body.message.body field visible and expandable within the occurrence list table, providing more detail at a glance. Finally, Apple OS 3.3.3 and React Native 1.0.0-beta.5 are now available, supporting compatibility with Cocoapods and XCode 16.

We’re introducing a new way to share insights and collaborate directly within Rollbar. You can now share your dashboard cards with teammates using a simple link. If you have a card view you'd like to share, click the action menu in the top right corner of the card, copy the link, and send it over. Your colleague will be able to see the exact same data and filters, helping you stay aligned without any extra steps.

In addition to the sharable dashboard links, here are a few other updates:

Assign Teams to Items via API

For our API users, you can now assign specific teams to items through the Update an Item API endpoint. This makes it easier to assign work and keep your team focused on the right issues directly via API calls.

Java 2.0 SDK Alpha

We’ve also released the alpha version of our Java 2.0 SDK, which includes telemetry (breadcrumbs) to help track users' flows before an error occured. It also allows you to distinguish between handled and unhandled errors. Also, note that Java 2.0 no longer supports Java 7, so be aware before you upgrade. We’re looking for feedback, so please try it out.

Other Fixes

We fixed an issue where Service Links showed "+" instead of spaces (%20) in URLs causing some of our service links to fail.

As always, we’re interested in hearing what you think. Feel free to reach out to us at product@rollbar.com with any thoughts or feedback.

We’re excited to introduce a new feature that enhances how you manage and organize items directly from the Item Detail page. Now, while investigating an item, you can search for related items within the same project and environment and merge them without leaving the page. This new feature reduces the need to navigate back and forth, helping you stay focused and work more efficiently. By merging related items, you can minimize noise, maintain a cleaner workspace, and keep a clearer view of your system's health. We believe this enhancement will simplify your error management process, providing greater clarity and faster issue resolution. Get all the details in our blog post.

But wait! We’re not done. Another highly requested feature we’ve released is the ability to include or exclude snoozed items from the Item List screen. In the filter section, you can now easily control whether snoozed items are displayed, allowing you to focus solely on the items most relevant to you. The options let you hide snoozed items, include them, or view only snoozed items. By default, snoozed items will be hidden from your list, ensuring you can focus on your active items without the distraction.

Our team is always eager to hear your thoughts and work with you to solve your largest issues. If you have feedback, don't hesitate to get in touch with our team at product@rollbar.com.

Improvement

This week, we're introducing some additional updates that we think you’ll appreciate.

First up is the Item List page. We’ve given the filters a cleaner, more intuitive design that makes navigating and managing your items more accessible. One subtle but helpful change is that when you select a single item in a filter, the value now appears right in the header of the filter section. This minor tweak makes it much simpler to see which filters you’ve applied without digging around.

On the Item Detail side, we’ve noticed that some links weren’t as helpful as possible. Specifically, the “First occurrence” links in the item header could sometimes point to occurrences that no longer exist because they’re outside the retention period. We’ve cleaned that up by disabling those links when the data isn’t available, so everything stays clear and consistent.

Saving the best for last, we’ve added a highly requested feature around Item Snooze management. You now have the flexibility to set or remove the Snooze status for an item directly through the Update an Item API. Plus, when working with the APIs to list items or retrieve specific ones, you’ll now see Snooze information included, giving you better oversight of what’s been paused and still active.

These updates are about making your day-to-day with Rollbar a bit smoother and more intuitive. We also released Apple 3.3.2 to compile with XCode 16 and Java 1.10.3 to prevent silent crashes. As always, we’re eager to hear how these changes work for you, so don’t hesitate to drop us a line at product@rollbar.com with your thoughts!

We’re releasing an update for your dashboard card preferences. Visibility preferences will now be saved across your entire Rollbar account. This means that whether you're on your laptop at work or checking in from home, your dashboard will look the same, no matter the device. If you’ve already set up your dashboard, you might notice it has reverted to the default layout. You’ll need to reconfigure it one last time, but after that, your preferences will stick.

We’ve also rolled out Ruby 3.6.0, which comes with an optional feature: the Rails 7 error reporter. By default, this is turned off to ensure everything continues to work smoothly with older setups. However, if you want to enable it, you can do so in the Rollbar initializer or toggle it on or off whenever you like using the Rollbar.configure method.

We’re always available to hear your thoughts. Feel free to email us at product@rollbar.com with any thoughts or suggestions.

Improvement

After listening to your feedback about improving your workflow, we’ve launched a few highly requested updates to the Item Detail screen to help you find and resolve your items faster.

First, we refreshed the header at the top of the screen with a cleaner, more streamlined design so you can view more details when the item detail page opens and reduce your scrolling.

In the item details section, we have added direct links to the People affected and the first and latest versions associated with the items and occurrences, making it easier to trace the impact and history of each issue.

Additionally, we’ve made more item information more accessible within the occurrence details. Where available, you can now view the Person, IP, Version, OS, and Browser directly in the occurrence header, eliminating the need to scroll and dig through the occurrence parameters to find the data.

We are happy to release a long-awaited feature, Overage Budgets, an enhancement to our billing model designed to provide our customers unparalleled control over their on-demand occurrence costs.

This update introduces three distinct modes of operation: Off, Budgeted, and Unlimited. Each offers varying degrees of flexibility to accommodate the unique demands of your account and occurrence usage.

While you are familiar with Off and Unlimited, the new Budgeted mode allows you to set a predefined limit on overage charges in dollars, ensuring you never see a surprise bill during usage spikes or intensive feature releases. Learn more in our blog or jump to the Your Plan page in account settings to set up your budget today.

We’ve released Terraform 1.15.0, which enhances our notification management capabilities. This feature allows you to disable noisy single notifications while you’re trying to root cause troublesome issues or incidents. Users can utilize our notification API endpoints to specify whether the notification is enabled or disabled. This feature ensures that users can easily manage the activation state of their notifications in Slack, Email, PagerDuty, and Webhooks. Check out our documentation to learn more.

We also fixed a few bugs. We resolved users' inability to select custom time periods within the current day and another item list bug where a saved query wasn’t visible in the search input box. Last, we have updated our usage CSV downloads to be delivered by email. This should allow our Annual and Enterprise accounts to download all their data without encountering timeouts.
