Application performance monitoring and error tracking for Ruby, Elixir, Node.js, and more

AppSignal tracks Linear and GitLab fixes from the incident and adds chart comparisons.

◆Current state
AppSignal's November entries connect incidents to where fixes are tracked: GitLab issue status now shows as a badge on the incident, and Linear issues show status and can be linked from a Logbook note, matching GitHub. Fullscreen dashboard charts gained time-range presets, a calendar and a one-step comparison with the previous period, day or week. Node.js package 3.9.5 shipped alongside.
◆Where it's heading
The product is building the incident into a hub: linked pull requests that show Merged then Live, issue status from GitHub, GitLab and Linear, logbook notes, and an MCP server for AI agents. Dashboard work this week is smaller, making charts easier to read across time ranges.
◆Prediction
Expect more issue trackers or chat tools to report status back into incidents, following the GitHub, GitLab and Linear pattern.

    GraphQL API returns clear errors for trigger tags and chart updates

    Bad trigger tags and unsupported chart input now get validation errors instead of server errors. A small change that matters for teams managing AppSignal through scripts or the MCP-connected agents it has been courting.
