Changelog

Improving AppSignal, one deploy at a time.

Feb 24, 2025

More Heroku errors from logs

Added

We now detect all Hxx router and Rxx resource errors from Heroku logs by parsing logfmt messages instead of using a single regex pattern.

Feb 24, 2025

Invalid Sample Data Notifications

Added

Users now receive notifications when sending a sample or span with improperly formatted data, such as non-JSON parameters or unsupported keys.

Feb 21, 2025

Public endpoint custom markers

Added

We've added an additional endpoint for creating Custom markers on our public endpoint API.

This is an alternative to our application API, which uses Personal Access Tokens for authentication.

The public endpoint API uses the push- or front-end keys, making it easier to create custom markers without exposing an API key with access to application data.

You can find the documentation here: Public endpoint API - Custom Markers

Imroved Heroku Log Severity parsing

Added

By default, the Heroku LogDrain emits all messages with an "Info" severity, and while we support overriding the severity by using custom attributes in either Logfmt or JSON format, it's not always possible to do this.

When creating (or updating) a Heroku log source, there's now an option to enable "Parse severity from a log message."

Heroku Log Parse Option

This option will attempt to parse the severity from any log message that does not contain a severity attribute, and allows you to get add-on and 3rd party logs into AppSignal with the correct severity.

You can find more information about what severity strings are parsed and how on our Heroku LogDrain documentation.

Assigned to me -> Assigned issues

We changed how the Assigned to me page works.

Previously, the page would show issues assigned to you. Now, it allows you to filter issues assigned to you or anyone else on your team.

Additionally, you can see all the unassigned issues within your account.

Organization-level notifier management

Organization admins can now manage notifiers at the organization level, simplifying application setup for organizations with multiple applications.

Key Updates

  • Centralized notifier management to streamline workflows across all applications.
  • Ability to set default notifiers for new applications and manage settings, scope, and events at the organizational level.

Availability

This feature is automatically enabled for new AppSignal customers and is being gradually rolled out to existing customers.

Interested in migrating to organization-level notifier management?

Existing customers can contact us to enable this feature and migrate their current notifiers. During migration, existing notifiers will be duplicated in the organization settings to ensure continuity, but no additional notifications will be sent as a result of this duplication.

Learn more

You can learn more about organization-level notifier management in our documentation.

Nov 19, 2024

Signature header

Fix the logo image path for MS Teams workflows notifiers integration. We've added a way for you to verify webhooks that are being sent from our platform. In your Webhook notifier, you can find a token; this token can be used to verify the webhook by creating a sha256 hash:

Shell
sha256(token+message)

This token can be verified against the X-Appsignal-Signature header. Fix a bug in the date picker that caused unnecessary whitespace.
