The Honeybadger Changelog

Here's what's cooking at Honeybadger.

Point-and-click query builder

In Honeybadger Insights, you can use BadgerQL to dig into your application's performance data and debug issues. But sometimes you don't know what you're looking for, and you want to quickly explore your application events with filter, count, etc. To save you some typing, we've added a point-and-click query mode.

Click on any value in the events view to open a context menu with common BadgerQL operations for that field. When you select one, it will automatically be added to the current query—no typing required. It's a great way to quickly explore your data and discover new insights.

Granular check-in notifications

Honeybadger's check-ins feature allows you to monitor your cron jobs and periodic tasks with a simple heartbeat monitor, ensuring that important things—such as a nightly backup or a weekly billing task—happen on time. The way it works is simple: we give you a URL, and you call the URL. If we stop hearing from you within a configured time period, Honeybadger alerts you.

Before today, all check-ins for a project would notify all configured alert and integration channels; there was no way to select individual check-ins for individual alerts. We've improved this so that you can now select which specific check-ins you want to be notified of for each of your integrations/alerts.

A user interface showing two sections: "Check-In Events" and "Check-Ins". The Check-In Events section explains notifications for missing cron jobs or services, with checkboxes for "When a check-in is missing" and "When a check-in is reporting again". The Check-Ins section lists events to be reported, with checkboxes for "Payment Processor", "Email Notifier", and "SMS Notifier". The design uses a clean, minimalist layout with teal checkboxes for selected options.

This changelog began on June 1, 2024. This is the end!
