Release Monitoring Overview

  • Updated

The Events page helps technical teams at eCommerce companies to correlate code deployments with new issues in Noibu. Engineers can identify if a code change results in user-impacting issues that block conversion so they can modify the code or revert the change altogether.

This page keeps a running list of activity in your domain including:

  • Release events. For each release event captured on this page, you can see general details including:
      • The date and time of deployment
      • The component affected by the deployment (e.g. frontend, backend)
      • The version code, each of which is assigned a random colour indicator to keep release entries visually distinct
      • Whether the deployment succeeded or failed
  • Issues created. If an issue is logged following a release event, you can click the View Issue button for more information the issue(s) created at that time. 
  • Alerts triggered. If an alert is triggered following a release event, you can click the View Alert button to see more details on the issue(s) that triggered the alert.

Sometimes, you’ll see two or more event logs for the same release back-to-back. This indicates when multiple updates are deployed at the same time. 

 

Viewing issues tied to release events

Events on this page are organized by date and sorted by timestamp, which helps an engineer draw connections between code deployments and resulting issues.

For example, if new code deploys at 9:45am, and three new issues appear at 9:47am, chances are the new issues are related to the release.

Clicking the View Issue button will take you to the All Issues page, automatically filtered to the specific date and time the issue(s) were created. You can click on any issue to investigate it in more detail. Learn more about issue investigation. 

 

Viewing release events in charts

Across the Noibu platform you'll encounter charts that display trends over time -- for example, issue occurrences or core web vital scores. Release events are indicated on these charts with a </> icon.
 
Clicking the icon will show you a preview of release events that occurred on that date. This can help you correlate changes in trends with a release.

Release Monitoring Configuration

In order to pull and display release information in Noibu, you must configure a post-release webhook in your deployment pipeline to notify Noibu when you are shipping code. This can work for most CI/CD tools, provided it can send an HTTP request and retrieve release data. For assistance, consult our guides on configuring webhooks through the methods below:

These methods require you to Retrieve your Domain ID.

Note: if you've deployed Noibu via our BigCommerce app, release monitoring is automatically set up and no webhook configuration is required.
