|
For enhanced visibility into your deployments, we offer deployment annotations on all transaction charts.
|
|
This feature automatically tags new deployments, so you can easily see if your deploy has increased response times
|
|
for an end-user, or if the memory/CPU footprint of your application has changed.
|
|
Being able to identify bad deployments quickly enables you to rollback and fix issues without causing costly outages.
|
|
|
|
Deployment annotations are enabled by default, and can be created with the <<apm-annotation-api,annotation API>>.
|
|
If there are no created annotations for the selected time period,
|
|
the APM app will automatically annotate your data if the `service.version` of your application changes.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If custom annotations have been created for the selected time period, any derived annotations, i.e., those created automatically when `service.version` changes, will not be shown.
