Search and Filters for Session Replay.

 

New

  

We’ve added full search support across all Session Replay attributes, including IP address, location, URL, and more. Whether you’re tracking down a specific behavior or narrowing results from a large dataset, this makes it faster to find what you’re looking for. Check out our documentation for more.

Need to narrow your list, you’ll also notice new chip-style filters in the Replay list that let you filter Replays by browser, OS, environment, project, or trigger, along with the current time period.

Full-page Replay view improvements

We added “Next” and “Previous” buttons to help you navigate your filtered or search results without losing your place. We’ve also enhanced the full-page Session Replay view to include IP address and location details, so you can quickly assess additional user context.

More control over what’s captured and what isn’t

You can now turn Replays on or off at the project level directly from settings. This is especially helpful if you’re troubleshooting PII issues or need to temporarily reduce capture volume without modifying the SDK. We’ve also added a new API endpoint to delete session replays programmatically. Last, when you delete a person's record via the API, any associated replays will be deleted automatically.

Help shape our new AI agent.

We’re testing a new alpha feature that generates pull requests directly from Rollbar errors. If you’d like to help us shape how it works, we’re looking for teams to try it out and share feedback. Sign up for early access to tell us what you’d want from an automated debugging assistant.

Remember we are always listening to make your experience will Rollbar better. Reach out to [email protected] and let us know what you think.

Cleaner invoices, clearer usage details

 

New

 

Improvement

  

We’ve updated the invoice list and detail pages with a cleaner design. You’ll now find a direct link to view your occurrence and replay usage for the billing period on the Your Plan & Usage page. Individual invoices are also easier to read, with the PDF file now front and centre.

Simpler Android deobfuscation with Gradle

If you’re using ProGuard or R8, there’s a new Gradle plugin to make uploading your Android mapping files easier. This gives you faster access to clear stack traces when debugging.

Help shape our new AI-powered agent

We’re testing a new feature that automatically generates pull requests from your Rollbar errors. It’s in alpha, and we’re inviting more teams to help us refine it. If you’re interested, sign up for early access or follow us on X to see how we’re building it in public. Your input will shape what this becomes.

Rollbar + Vercel

 

New

 

Improvement

  

Vercel helps you ship fast. We help you ship safe with code-first observability that connects errors to the code and deploys behind them. Starting today, our native integration is available in Vercel’s Observability category.

Install from the Vercel UI, authorize your team, and connect one or many projects and resources in minutes. You get clean environment mapping and automatic deployment tracking from day one, whether you are running Next.js apps, serverless functions on Vercel.

Read more in our blog or in our docs.


Session Replay Updates

Session Replay gets a smoother review flow. You can sort your Replay List by duration and by timestamp to surface long problem sessions or scan the most recent ones first. Now when you open a Replay in full page mode, Next and Previous controls let you step through the list in timestamp order without jumping back to the list.

Session Replay is Here

 

New

 

Improvement

  

Session Replay is now in GA. It's the only solution that gives developers full control over what’s recorded and how it’s recorded. Choose exactly how long before and after an error to capture, focus only on the error levels that matter, and stop wasting time scrubbing through irrelevant sessions. Every replay highlights the key moments so you can see the cause and the impact without the noise.

By default Replays are linked to occurrences but with the latest release you can now record Replays for navigation events like pageLoad or specific paths, or direct calls for specific features or user events. All Replays can be viewed in our new Replay List.

Worried about PII? Scrubbing is built in and configurable, and Replays can be deleted individually or batched in our Replay list. Each full-page replay includes linked telemetry such as console events, network calls, and logs, with minimal performance impact.

Starting today, all accounts include 1,000 Session Replays, with higher limits available on paid plans. Update to our latest JavaScript SDK to capture sessions on errors automatically. Check out our docs to see how to get started in less than 5 minutes.

MCP

Replay context is available in your IDE via our open-source MCP integration; sessions are now included so your AI assistant can review a replay alongside the error payload, help you debug faster, and generate tests that reproduce the user flow.

Your Plan and Usage

We combined the Your Plan and Usage pages into a single page that shows your current plan, your usage of occurrences and replays, and your available features. We’ve also updated the design to clarify how your features change when moving plans, making it easier to evaluate plan changes.

Remember we're working to make Rollbar better for you and your workflow. Reach out to mailto:[email protected] and let us know what you think.

September Product Updates

 

New

 

Improvement

 

Fix

  

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.

As always, we love your feedback. Reach out to [email protected] and let us know what you think. And if Rollbar has helped your team ship faster, share it with others. We offer up to $500 for each referral, and your friends get 20% off their first month.

Turn off noisy notifications right from the UI

 

New

  

You can now disable alert notifications directly in the Rollbar UI. This gives you more control during a spike or other noisy event, such as a misconfigured deployment. Visit the notification rules in your project settings and click the disabled button to pause the alert and re-enable it later. Now there is no need to delete and recreate the rule.

We’ve also updated the custom time picker on the Item List page. In addition to selecting specific start and end times, you can now use a “since” filter to view everything from a specific moment onward. It’s a small change, but it makes it easier to review error patterns after a deploy or other event.

As always, we’re looking to improve Rollbar based on your feedback. If you’d like to share ideas, feedback, or talk shop, just email us at [email protected]. And if you love Rollbar, don’t forget to share it and get up to $500.

Session Replay is coming soon. If you want to learn more about what we're building or get early access, make sure to get on our list.

Rate Limit information for Project Access Tokens

 

Improvement

  

We've released a highly requested and very useful feature to our Project Access tokens screen. You can now see which tokens have hit their rate limit in the past 30 days, how often that happened, and how many occurrences were dropped as a result. This makes it easier to spot gaps in your data and decide whether you need to adjust token limits or scale your usage.

We’ve also released Rollbar Go v1.4.8, which includes minor improvements and internal changes to help maintain reliability. You can check out the full release notes on GitHub.

We’re continuing to improve how we surface token-related information, and, as always, we appreciate your input. If you have feedback—on this or other features, email us at [email protected]. And if Rollbar has helped your team, feel free to share it with others.

MCP Server and Spot Trends Easier

 

Improvement

 

New

  

Check out the new Rollbar MCP Server. It connects Rollbar with AI agents like Claude or Cursor to help you summarize errors, run root cause analysis on real data, and test potential fixes, right from your error payloads. No need to change your workflow; it’s a smart layer that helps your team triage faster. Get the full walkthrough on YouTube or learn more on our blog.

We’ve also released a few user experience updates based on customer feedback. You’ll now see a 30-day and 90-day history view in the Occurrence card on your dashboard, giving you a longer history and making trends easier to spot. On the Team page, you can search for teammates when viewing or adding them to projects, and we’ve added project names to the Deploys bar, which is helpful when working across multiple projects. Lastly, we’ve added an AI prompt instruction to guide the setup of a new project in your favorite AI IDEs for new projects, so it’s easier than ever to set up a new project with Rollbar.

On the SDK side, Rollbar Go v1.4.7 brings bug fixes and improved internal behavior. We’ve also updated our Terraform provider to v1.6.0, which now supports Encrypted Access Tokens for better security in infrastructure management.

As always, we’d love your feedback. Reach out to [email protected] and let us know how we’re doing. Love Rollbar? Don’t forget to share it with your friends.

Encrypted Access Tokens

 

New

 

Improvement

 

Fix

  

This release introduces a big improvement in Rollbar - enhanced security with the enablement of encrypted access tokens. From now on, newly created tokens are encrypted and can no longer be viewed through the UI or API after they are created. Users must copy and store their tokens securely upon generation, and tokens will only be identified by a new public ID, adding security and control to your Rollbar system. New tokens will also have flexible token lengths: 512 bits for maximum protection or 128 bits for compatibility with existing integrations, and a limited combined scopes rule to ensure private tokens aren’t shared publicly.

Note, this will not impact your current tokens, so no immediate action is needed. However, users can now encrypt their existing tokens for added security without affecting current functionality. We recommend encrypting your current tokens today. For more details, check out our blog or the Access Tokens documentation.

Also, we made some updates to our SDKs - pyrollbar v1.3.0 now supports Python 3.13, while removing support for Python 3.6. Rollbar-PHP v4.1.1 and Rollbar-PHP-Laravel v8.1.2 resolved a minor issue where TelemetryEvents could not handle a nested array as a $body argument. And following the end of life of Pivotal Tracker, we’ve removed Pivotal as a notification channel in Rollbar.

As always, we love your feedback. So reach out to us at [email protected] and let us know what you think.

Key Changes:

  • Improved Security: Newly created tokens are now encrypted and can no longer be viewed via the UI or API after creation. Users must copy and store their tokens securely upon generation.
  • Optional Encryption for Existing Tokens: Users can now encrypt existing tokens for added security without affecting functionality.
  • Flexible Token Lengths: New tokens can be 512-bit for maximum security or 128-bit for compatibility with existing integrations.
  • Updated Scope Rules: The postserveritem and postclientitem scopes must now be issued separately, while read and write scopes can still be combined.

Telemetry for PHP/Laravel

 

New

 

Improvement

  

This release is for our PHP and Laravel developers. Our latest release introduces telemetry support in our PHP SDK and Laravel SDK, designed to give you the breadcrumb of events leading to an exception, error, or other report.

Rollbar-PHP v4.1.0 now supports PHP 8.4 and features telemetry enhancements that include a refined configuration filter. Similarly, the new Rollbar-PHP-Laravel 8.0.1-beta release comes with telemetry support and CI tests for Laravel 11, PHP 8.3, and PHP 8.4. These updates give you more dependable insights and smoother performance so you can spot issues quickly and keep your app running at its best.

We’ve also polished up our user experience. Our new search bar now features a handy search syntax help link so you can quickly reference syntax to find the errors that matter most. We’ve also reorganized the dashboard components list to match the visual order on your screen, ensuring that the interface feels more intuitive. Finally, our Rollbar-react SDK has been upgraded and is now officially supporting React 19 as requested by the community.

As always, we’re eager to hear your thoughts on these improvements. If you have any feedback or questions, reach out to the product team at [email protected].
