Rollbar

DEVOPS
Velocity5.0

Rollbar links errors to Linear issues that open and close themselves.

error-trackingagent-automationai-debuggingintegrationslineardeveloper-tools
◆Current state
Rollbar's core story is Agent Automation, released in September, where a matching error triggers root cause analysis and Resolve opens a fix pull request. The November 11 release adds a Linear integration whose issues carry the stack trace, stay in status sync and can be opened, resolved and reopened by notification rules. The rest is upkeep: invite revocation, shareable Improve cards, clearer reasons when a Resolve run stops, and the end of the Bitbucket issue integration.
◆Where it's heading
Rollbar is wiring its automated error-to-fix loop into the tools where teams track work, so a production error moves through ticket and pull request with little manual handling. October's API and token work and November's Linear sync point the same way.
◆Prediction
Expect more trackers and code hosts to get the same two-way sync, and Resolve runs to start posting into those tickets.

    You can now connect Linear to Rollbar

    Linear issues can now be created or linked from any Rollbar item, with status kept in sync and rules that open and close issues automatically. It connects the September Agent Automation loop to a common issue tracker, alongside small admin fixes and the retirement of Bitbucket issues.

    Analyze RQL queries now run faster

    Common Analyze queries move to the fast path, with one catch: select * now returns a fixed set of columns, so body fields must be named. It also fixes auto-resolve firing on unfinished or failed deploys, which matters more as resolution gets automated.

    Personal API tokens & Item History in the API

    Personal access tokens limit a script to what its owner can do, and item history and comments open up through the API. Together they give automated checks a place to record findings on the item itself.

    You can now query the Metrics API across all your projects in one call

    The Metrics API drops its five-project limit and Analyze becomes part of every Enterprise plan, ending the add-on. Query access is widening just as more of the workflow runs without a person.

    Rollbar can now run Resolve for you

    Agent Automation runs root cause analysis and Resolve whenever an item matches a rule, with the PR left for human review. It takes the error-to-fix loop from something a developer starts to something a rule starts.

    Terraform API Access with Your Account Token, Plus Smarter AI Controls

    Terraform provider 1.18.0 lets a single account token drive all project-level resources, removing the per-project token juggle that made Terraform-managed Rollbar configurations brittle. The admin AI-disable switch addresses enterprise governance requirements that were blocking broader deployment.
