It's a big one this time, so grab your popcorn and let's check out what's new at Rollbar.
Session Replay Beta
We've just released Beta 3 of Session Replay, and it brings a major upgrade to your telemetry. You can now capture a broader set of DOM events including input, status changes, clicks, page resizes, and drag-and-drop, all synced directly with your replays. This means you'll see a much clearer picture of how users interact with your app right before an error occurs.
A reminder: the public beta runs for about 2 more weeks. During this period, every Rollbar account includes 5,000 free replays per month. If you haven't pushed Session Replay into real traffic yet, now is the time.
WordPress Telemetry and Android ANR Detection
We've released two major SDK updates this month. First, our WordPress plugin v3.0 brings telemetry support with 219 pre-configured WordPress actions, giving you the full breadcrumb trail leading up to errors. The plugin now supports PHP 8.1 to 8.4, includes a refreshed admin UI that looks native to WordPress, and can be installed via Composer for better dependency management. Second, our Java SDK now includes ANR (Application Not Responding) detection for Android apps, which captures thread information when your app freezes so you can see exactly what caused the hang. We've also updated the minimum SDK to 21 and target SDK to 33 to keep pace with Android's latest requirements.
Webhook Auto-Shutoff
We've shipped automatic webhook shutoff to protect your integrations from error storms. If a webhook rule hits 100 or more errors within an hour, we'll automatically disable it and send you a notification with the failing URL and a link to re-enable it in your settings. This means no more getting paged at 2am because a third-party service went down and your webhook started flooding their API. You stay in control, and you can turn the rule back on once you've resolved the issue on your end or theirs.
AI Solve (Alpha)
We're working on a new AI feature that will help you solve your errors faster with less effort. We've been testing it in alpha on our own systems for the past few weeks, and the system analyzes errors and automatically creates PRs with potential fixes for your team to review.
Here's what it's already fixed for us:
- Fixed intermittent "Oops, that was unexpected" errors during logout or SAML-reauth
- Fixed leading cause of intermittent errors in Item List search
- Fixed intermittent slowdowns renewing live updates on Item List
- Fixed page crash in Item Merge if typing a search and then clearing the search
- Fixed laggy typing in comment textbox on Item Detail
- Fixed most intermittent errors loading the Summary tab on Item Detail
- Fixed crash rendering SDK setup instructions for certain languages
- Fixed error rendering alert messages on Account Members page
We're looking for more teams to join the alpha and help us refine this before a wider release. If you're interested in having AI create pull requests based on your Rollbar errors, fill out our early access form or follow us on X where we're building in public. Your feedback will directly shape how this feature works when it reaches GA.
Additional Bug Fixes
This month we fixed several issues that were creating friction in your workflow. Clearing all filters on the Item List page no longer empties the search bar. We resolved an error where rate limits couldn't be updated on certain accounts and fixed the usage bar not populating correctly. The Version page now loads environments properly on first load, and we've updated the Item List page to default to a 7-day timeframe instead of 24 hours, which better matches how most teams review errors.
