|
|
|
|
For enhanced visibility into your deployments, we offer deployment annotations on all transaction charts.
|
|
This feature enables you to easily determine if your deployment has increased response times for an end-user,
|
|
or if the memory/CPU footprint of your application has changed.
|
|
Being able to quickly identify bad deployments enables you to rollback and fix issues without causing costly outages.
|
|
|
|
By default, automatic deployment annotations are enabled.
|
|
This means the APM app will create an annotation on your data when the `service.version` of your application changes.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can explicitly create deployment annotations with our annotation API.
|
|
The API can integrate into your CI/CD pipeline,
|
|
so that each time you deploy, a POST request is sent to the annotation API endpoint:
|
|
|
|
[source,curl]
|
|
----
|
|
curl -X POST \
|
|
http://localhost:5601/api/apm/services/${SERVICE_NAME}/annotation \ <1>
|
|
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
|
-H 'kbn-xsrf: true' \
|
|
-H 'Authorization: Basic ${API_KEY}' \ <2>
|
|
-d '{
|
|
"@timestamp": "${DEPLOY_TIME}", <3>
|
|
"service": {
|
|
"version": "${SERVICE_VERSION}" <4>
|
|
},
|
|
"message": "${MESSAGE}" <5>
|
|
}'
|
|
----
|
|
<1> The `service.name` of your application
|
|
<2> An APM app API key with sufficient privileges
|
|
<3> The time of the deployment
|
|
<4> The `service.version` to be displayed in the annotation
|
|
<5> A custom message to be displayed in the annotation
|
|
|
|
See the <<apm-annotation-api,annotation API>> reference for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
